Guitar Beginners I will start a new series of tutorials now. I want to guide the total guitar beginners through the first really hard 6-12 months of learning guitar. The point is - when you start with guitar there is not much you can do till you have the technical abilities to grab chords - specially the barré chords, to play some lead guitar with simple melodies and to do your first bendings, the first vibrato's and and and.... This phase can be really frustrating because things take time and you can not make any shortcuts. But my job as an instructor is to keep you guys motivated in this time and still get you a creative and fun vibes into your beginner steps on guitar. My system is different then the regular ones and it works. I got many feedbacks from beginner students over many years. In these tutorials I will also show everything slow and very precise. The will come with the title index " Guitar Beginners - ..... " and will be also marked with this tag here in the search tags. Guitar Beginners For guidance during your process in those first 6-12 months I strongly recommend that you use the blog feature where you can write about your experience and your difficulties in order to get some professional advice.

View File Rhythm Studies Here you find the entire course " Rhythm Studies " were students can learn to fix their rhythm and timing issues. The key to fix this issue is to know what rhythm is and to practice every aspect of rhythm with a click and directly on the fretboard. If you know how rhythm is written then you know what kind of rhythm pattern you are playing and how it sounds. This is an entire course " Rhythm Studies " were you start from the very beginning. Take every lesson very seriously. At the end of the studies it gets really difficult and if you don't know each module of this course very well you don't have a change in the last 2-3 lessons anymore to fulfill the task. Also take the written pauses very seriously. Every note has a beginning and an end. So also be precise on the endings of the notes. If you don't know rhythm notation at all please first go through the theory first : There are several ways you can practice the rhythm studies on the fretboard. The easiest one would be just by playing the rhythm you are reading with one note on the fretboard. I recommend that for players who are still in the intermediate range of their technical abilities. If you are an advanced player you can do the rhythm studies with a 4 bar chord progression ( Ex. 1 : G / C / Am / D or Ex. 2 Em / Am / C / D ) or whatever comes to your mind. Or you can also do the rhythm studies with picking patterns only on one chord. You are free to transport the rhythm you are reading on your fretboard. Here you can find a short tutorial where I show you how you can start working with the system : Here are the conditions : 1. You should not make any mistakes - max. 3 mistakes per lesson 2 . Play with a click of your choice. I would recommend 80 bpm but also try other speeds to get a feeling for the rhythm. 3. The first exercises are very easy. Take every lesson very serios and practice is as if you would record a CD. Try also to give musical expression to everything you play. 4. If you are also interested in blues or jazz you also need to do the studies in the ternary( shuffle ) groove. 5. Take your time - the point is not to play everything that it's played. The point is that you feel every note you are playing and to build automatisms in precisions and musical precision. Thats the main goal of these studies. 6. Don't expect results very fast. It can take months till you feel a substancial difference in your free playing. 7. Once you went through one modul try to transport what you learned in to your regular playing. If you need any help or advice please open up a blog and tell what your problems or concerns are. Describe your situation as precise as possible. Or if you need personal coaching on this and you want that your studies are getting monitored you can also book some private lessons. Doing the final test : If you went through all modules of the rhythm studies and you wish to make the final test you can book a private skype lesson. There we make an appointment and then I will send you a file of 3 - 4 pages on the difficulty level of the last module of the rhythm studies. Then you have 5 minutes time to view the pages and then you have to play them with sight reading with a click and I control how precise you were and how many mistakes you made. If you reached a presicion level of 75 % and did not make more than 5 mistakes you pass the test and you get the " rhythm study award " - or the confirmation that you fulfilled the task. The earliest time I recommend this test is 6 months after you started the studies. Submitter admin Submitted 03/25/2024 Category Theory & Exercises
