This course includes the following 6 units

Unit 1

Smashing The Basics

Welcome to the 30 Day Beginner Challenge! In our first unit we will now tackle the basic knowledge you need to get off to the best possible start. This is where you’ll learn how to read the diagrams, hold the guitar and more!

Unit 2

Let's Hit The Gym

Guitar gym is a term we use a lot here at the Guitar Club, so let's start by talking about what it means. Essentially, Guitar Gym is a range of exercises that are deliberately constructed to build your technique, skill and fluidity on the fretboard.

Unit 3

Getting Musical

Learning songs is an integral part of your guitar journey, as we can work on so many aspects of technique whilst doing so. So, in this unit we dive in and learn a whole song, written specifically for this course!

Unit 4

The Nitty Gritty

In this unit we dive into a bit more ‘guitar theory’. This is so important as we begin to want to navigate the whole neck. We are bridging general music theory with the guitar itself. Don’t skip this unit!

Unit 5

Second Song

In this unit we will be using everything we have learnt so far to put together our next song, from scratch, and learn it just like a pro guitarist would. That means we’ll be tackling the chords, rhythm and even your first ever guitar solo!

Unit 6

Getting Ready

You've made it to the final unit! In this last group of lessons we will be filling in some gaps, and making sure everything is sticking in your memory. We'll throw in a couple of important new chords too for good measure.

Introduction

The best place to begin your journey

Welcome to our 30 Day Beginner Challenge! Firstly, let me just say congrats for committing to your guitar playing and to this challenge. We will be showing you how to play guitar, from scratch, with the aim of instilling a habit of daily practice. It may seem obvious, but daily play is the true key to learning the guitar, so our job is to set you up with the practice plans you need to make that a joy rather than a chore. You simply need to log in every day and be ready to learn exciting new things! Whether you're starting from scratch or have played a little before, this course will help you shed any bad habits and learn how to do things right!

Before we start, I want to be clear that although we call this a "30 day" challenge, there's absolutely no pressure if you'd prefer to take longer. Whether it takes 30 days or 130 days, what truly matters is you discovering the joy in playing guitar. Commit to the process of playing through the videos in a time that suits you, and have fun!

360° learning from day one

We believe it is extremely important to learn in a complete way from the beginning. That means we'll be dipping into a whole variety of core skills such as chords, rhythm, lead, theory and gym exercises to ensure you have the foundations to take your guitar playing in any direction you choose. Whether your goal is to jam like John Mayer, strum like Ed Sheeran, solo like Jimi Hendrix or simply entertain your family and friends with a few songs, this course will be your bedrock. It will give you the best possible grounding to progress to more specialised skills and quickly take your playing to the next level!
