Guitar Basics

Set yourself up for success by developing good practice habits and using strategies to be aware of your mind, body, and the music.

Rhythm Guitar: Open Position Chords

Open position chords or Cowboy Chords are one of the most common tools that guitarists use. The shapes can be played with different picking and strumming patterns to create various textures which work for every style of music.

Rhythm Guitar: Notes On The E And A Strings

Being able to identify the letter names of the notes on the E and A strings is an important part of rhythm guitar playing. It makes it easy to apply moveable chord shapes and scale patterns to be able to play songs in any key.

Guitar: The Blues

The Blues has been the greatest force in the direction of popular music for the last 100+ years. The way in which guitar is played in a band with solos, rhythm playing, and lyrical inflection (bending, sliding, hammer ons and pull offs) all come from the blues. Studying the blues is one of the most important things that a player of any level can do.

Rhythm Guitar: Power Chords

Power chords are used in almost every genre and learning them is great way to start using movable chord shapes. Learn how to use the power of the two note chord that has defined rhythm guitar for the last 60 years.
