Total Beginner level 2
Difficulty: 1 (of 10)Focus: By now you have already learned the fundamentals of music & guitar - and it's time to start PLAYING! With careful attention to details, we will walk you through what your right hand should do, how to read rhythm - and last but not least: play your first riff!
This course is a continuation of Total Beginner and is aimed at taking you past the critical stage of understanding what to do - to actually DOING it. Getting past this threshold is typically a game changer for most students.
