What Students Are Saying

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the crawl video. I watched the introductory video too. One thing I appreciate is the right panel with the content and the ability to see everything and navigate through it back and forth/up and down.

– Zobeida B.

So far, I’ve checked out the left hand exercises videos and find them immensely helpful. Ditto for the right hand exercises videos. At this point, nothing is unclear to me.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course?

You’ll have lifetime access to all the Guitar Foundations course, which is available for free on YouTube! Therefore, you can learn at your own pace and revisit lessons anytime.

Do I need prior experience to take these online guitar courses?

No! Guitar Foundations is perfect for beginners who are looking for a classical guitar course online.

Coming Soon: The 30-Day Guitar Chord Fluency course is suitable for both beginners and those looking to improve their chord transitions.

Both courses include videos on the absolute basics like “Parts of the Guitar” and “How to Tune Your Guitar” so even if you’re an absolute beginner you’ll be in good hands!

That said, if you’re an absolute beginner who’s not sure if guitar is the right instrument for you, then I recommend you sign up for the Free Mini Course first.
