  • Hey GMC'ers! I wanted to add a lesson, just using a simple couple of chords and keep it as easy as possible. So, this lesson is especially aimed at beginners.

    I remember when I learned all the chords on the acoustic guitar and how hard it was. So, this idea always was in my mind: to make the first steps on the guitar easier and more fun.
    The lesson has a cool backing track to play along with You can experiment with different rhythms, adding your own ideas, and even solos.

    I really want to encourage to the beginners on the site, to show some of your takes, on the rec program, or just on my board. Don’t be shy, we were all there once!
