About TrueFire’s Song Learning System
Taught by our top educators, TrueFire’s Song Lesson System is a hands-on contextual music-making experience designed to accelerate the song learning process and simulate a full-band setting.
Whatever level of player you happen to be, from beginner to advanced, there’s a rhythm or lead guitar part you can learn to play that sounds great in a full band context.
We designed the system with three distinct educational objectives in mind; 1) Teach accurate rhythm and lead guitar parts; 2) Prepare students for live performance settings; and 3) Emphasize key learnings from each song to advance students’ overall skills.
Meeting these three objectives called for a strict criteria when selecting the songs that we would teach. Whether they were classic or contemporary songs within a genre, they each had to offer key rhythmic, harmonic, and/or melodic techniques that students’ could apply anywhere.
We also had to take full advantage of our learning tools to craft a learning experience that not only met the criteria but also made the learning experience fun and gratifying.

Everything I'm going to show you here will work well with the accurate guitar parts so that you can play along with the full band. The first will be the easiest version then we'll jump into a second rendition that will add a few more pieces and bring you one step closer to the authentic guitar part. Once you feel comfortable with this easier version, I encourage you to try to tackle some of the more sophisticated techniques in the accurate guitar parts as this is a great way to improve your skills.

Love the song-lessons idea
I'm very happy to see these song-lessons come alive, especially when taught by great instructors like Mr. Vignola. The idea of presenting bite size pieces of a song and then bringing it all back together in the end, seems to be effective, and exciting to tackle.
