What you'll do

Developing Your Ear

A little ear training goes a long way! I will show you how to first identify the key of the song and find it on guitar. Then we will learn how to identify chord movement and chord qualities.

Rhythmic Accompaniment

We will learn various styles of playing rhythmically on the guitar, specifically with the right hand (or left if you're left handed). This will be accomplished through popular song examples that will be the focus of each week.

Expanding Fretboard Knowledge

By learning scales, arpeggios and chords we will be able to expand our vision of the fretboard, making it easier to pick up any song quickly!

Chord Scale Relationships

Chords and Scales have a vital relationship! By understanding how chords and scales work together and are essentially derived from each other, you will have a deeper understanding of how Chord Progressions work!

Joshua is a great teacher. His classes are fun and he really helped with my knowledge of the fretboard and chord progressions up and down the neck. Looking forward to his next lessons!
