Learn the basics with a Beginner Practice Routine!

The Beginner Routine teach you the basics of the guitar.

Make sure you watch all lessons in this section even if you all ready know how to play a bit of guitar.

The most important thing to learn here is about intervals and how they relate to the guitars basic chord shapes.

As you move on to intermediate and learn songs you will begin to naturally understand how music works, from the guitars perspective.

The biggest favor you can do yourself when practicing is to write down your results. Use the Work Book for this.

Chords and Chord Progressions

Your journey of understanding the guitar begins with ten really simple open position chords.

Later on you will discover that it’s the shape of this chord and what number it has that matters.

For now however you should focus on how to fret all open position chords you learn here in your beginner routine.

Chromatic Exercises

The Spyder is not just your average chromatic exercise, the Spyder combines rhythm training with the chromatic exercise and fine tune:

1. Accuracy
2. Left and Right hand Co-ordination
3. Speed

Remember that there are other things to life than these three topics. Spyders should not be practiced for more than 20-30 min at a time.

Regular visits are much more efficient than long sessions every few days. Aim to find a balanced beginner practice routine that works for you.

Song practice, exercises and reading should all go hand in hand. Turn to the E-books for more guidance.
