Acoustic Guitar Intermediate Lessons

At 'Intermediate Lessons' we learn songs that use barred chords.

A few melodies, bass lines and extended chords have found their way into some of these arrangements.

Make sure you have read the Conspiracy and follow the Practice Routine for maximum personal development.

Your aim for completing the intermediate lessons should be to play any chord progression anywhere on the neck.

As the lesson example here show with Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours', chords can be played in all sorts of inversions.
This is just one of 21 songs you can learn at 'Intermediate Lessons'.

Acoustic Guitar Advanced Lessons

The Advanced lessons have a few note for note attempts.

Pink Floyds 'Wish You Were Here', The Beatles 'Blackbird', Led Zeppelins 'Stairway To Heaven' and as shown here Eva Cassidys 'Over The Rainbow' are all very close to the original.

Combine learning these classics with Spytunes own arrangements of hits such as 'Angels' and 'Cannonball' for maximum development.

In 'Advanced Acoustic Guitar Lessons' you'll find 15 more songs including; 'Roxanne', 'Sunshine Of Your Love', Tears In Heaven' and 'Take Me To The River'

Both finger style arrangements and flat pick techniques are used in these songs. Make sure you also transcribe vocal melody for each song for maximum results.

Acoustic Guitar Master Lessons

The final stage of understanding the guitar is to keep an open mind and play around with chords, scales and arpeggios in an improvised manner.

Jazz standards and some songs originally only played on the piano (like 'I Wish' shown here on the left) are in these video lessons taught with close up video and chord analysis.

In Master lessons you'll find songs like; 'Angel Eyes', 'Dream A Little Dream', 'Lately' and 'Why Don't You Do Right?'.

Once this section is completed music should come through you, not just from you.

Your journey to this level will start with the Guitar Conspiracy which sets the goal for you, explains how music work on the guitar and ultimately allows you to not just stop guessing, but to actually stop practicing!
