Now it's time for me to show you basic, everyday, music theory and how it applies to the guitar. This course is full of practical, everyday examples and explanations that will turn YOU into a guitar wizard.

"Just amazing, Can't ask for more simple and easy step by step learning.

The good thing is I'm learning, and the instructor is proving to be the best. Glad

"I have just completed this course and would comment accordingly.

Extremely well-constructed, laid out and balanced course, targeting all

the key areas of guitars and gear. The information and advice provided

by Henry Olsen gives the student a sound grounding and prepares

them for their journey ahead. I found the lectures most informative and

stimulating and has further invigorated me to explore some new aspects

of my playing too. Highly recommended, and I would urge anyone,

certainly a beginner, to work through this course. Thank you, Will."

    I started learning guitar year ago,and went through 4 private teachers who charged 50$ and hour,2 schools and 2 online courses. The problem was that they all want you to play guitar, without first understanding the instrument. I find Henry's cours very structured, simple to understand and intuitive, I've seen some 2 stars reviews of this cours saying the lessons are good,I just can't learn guitar, this is not fair to rate the cours, because it is not the problem, the problem is the individual. This cours is 100% gor beginners and if you do uour do diligence you will 100% succeed.

    I have been a chord player for many years and decided to bite the bullet and buy this course - I have tried others, however, I find this course to be really easy to follow and things are coming together quickly! Thank you

    Covered the guitar theory I was expecting. Really enjoyed the course and I find Henry a very effective instructor that is easy to listen to. A small improvement would be to have some printable exercises to play after I have turned off my computer and I am sitting with the guitar.
