Rock Guitar Power Chords

Welcome to my mini course on "Power Chords"! This is an entry level course introducing you to these awesome but powerful musical devices. Power chords are typically made up of just 2 notes which strangely makes them sound "bigger" than more complex chords. The "Power" part can really come into play when using distortion on your amp or with a pedal. Also, power chords make up not only the foundation of rock music, but the blues as well, so It's extremely important for you to be able to play and understand them.

Beginner Fingerstyle

I really enjoyed putting this course together on beginner finger style acoustic playing. This was a style I was always intimidated by and I kind of avoided it until I unlocked a few easy "Travis Picking" patterns mixed with the basic open chords. Travis picking is a style where your thumb plays a constant bass note pattern usually on two alternating strings.  Spending a little time getting a few of these patterns down to where you don't have to think about them, helps unlock that very cool sound where it sounds like two guitars are playing at once.  I always found finger style acoustic courses much too advanced to follow along, that's why I made this course, to demystify this really fun style of playing guitar!

Learning some basic slide guitar skills can really add dimension to your guitar playing and overall musicianship. In this introductory course, I show you exactly what I have learned in the 2 years that I have been studying how to play slide guitar.

I will show you the tuning and a great way to start your slide journey. I'll show you the proper  left hand slide techniques and what'll you need to get rocking and having fun right away. I will also focus heavily on the right hand and the proper string muting you will need to work on.
