Guitars come in several shapes and configurations, and as an absolute beginner, this can confuse matters before you even get started. In this opening lesson, Dave Isaacs will discuss the name and function of the various parts of an electric guitar.

Using the correct positioning and posture while playing can save a lot of frustration and possibly even injury. In this lesson, Dave will cover the proper techniques to help us be comfortable and proficient in our playing.

Tablature can be a useful stepping stone, helping us familiarize ourselves with printed music for the guitar, and with a bit more work - standard notation. Here, Dave will discuss the basics of tablature and how it associates with the location and direction of the notes on the fretboard.

Easy and fun for beginners (chords & melody)

I went back to this today after a few months of not playing and enjoyed it. It's great for beginners who can play the the basic open chords and want to try out a few songs and play melodies. Bit of country/folk, rock/blues, pop and even a jig. Good instructions and the videos are up to the Jamplay standard. Cheers.
