If you've always wanted to learn how to play acoustic guitar - or even started
once or twice in the past only to put it down in frustration - this series of
beginner acoustic guitar lessons is likely the perfect approach for you. Acoustic Guitar for
Beginners is a jump-start method designed to get you up and strumming quickly
without having to work through tedious theory, scales and exercises. In fact,
you'll be strumming chords and playing a few songs in your very first week of
working with the course.

Acoustic
Guitar for Beginners is tailored specifically for adults who don't have the time
or desire for formal training. To get you on the fast track, we've deliberately
steered clear of music theory, reading notation, exercises and scales (there’s
plenty of time for all that good stuff later). Instead, you'll dig in
immediately learning how to play chords, strums and how
to work with song books and lyric
sheets.
Your extremely capable guide to the world of guitar is Rich Maloof. Formerly the
Editor In Chief of Guitar magazine, Rich has produced a ton of instructional
content for musicians, including the book series The Way They Play, Alternate
Tunings for Guitar, Joe Satriani - Riff By Riff, the biography of amp legend Jim
Marshall, and many more notable titles.
Rich
wastes no time getting you going. You'll be fingering great-sounding chords
right from the very first lesson. A few short lessons later you’ll have a grip
on a dozen more chord shapes and be able to strum them in rhythm. You'll quickly
learn how to switch between chords smoothly, learn how to play new chords on your own and
keep a steady beat. On-screen chord diagrams and beat counters keep you on track
and there’s even a bank of guitar lessons on troubleshooting to help you get past the
muted notes, tuning problems and general awkwardness that typically trip up
newcomers. Best of all, Maloof shows you how to decode and simplify any songbook
so you can play hundreds of your favorite songs.
