Acoustic Lessons Course

Acoustic guitar can be found in virtually every genre of guitar music. But it can also describe a genre all its own. Whether the delicate the fingerpicked sounds of ballad or the bright, shimmer strum powering a folk tune, the acoustic guitar has a very distinct and unmistakable timbre.

Acoustic guitar music can be influenced by blues, classical, country, jazz, or rock. It can be simple or complex, joyful or melancholy, fragile or powerful.

The acoustic guitar is still the most widely played type of guitar in the world!

Tuning And Playing Notes

In this first tutorial of Guitar Fundamentals we'll learn proper posture and how to hold the guitar. We will also learn how to use the tuning pegs and tune up, then learn the string names: Eddie Ate Dynamite, Goodbye Eddie! Once we're tuned up and in position we'll look at how to navigate the fretboard using string names and fret numbers, while also exploring about how to best fret notes. You can start out using just your index finger, but after that you should try using your other 3 fingers as well.
