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.

Great lesson, with great details
Usually when I'm learning songs I learn the bare outlines of the original, then put together my own arrangement based on that. This is my Truefire song lesson, and my first time trying to learn a song as recorded. With this lesson, I was able to learn all of the guitar parts, then put them together into one guitar part that contained bits and pieces of each. Little details, like the ringing open b string, were great for that. I'm looking forward to Truefire adding more song lessons.

I'd buy any of Chris's classes/songs just to watch him play, that alone is worth the price of admission. Add to that his style and proficiency of explaining/demonstrating concepts and it's a no brainer. Easily a top 3 instructor. Keep adding some more of these more (semi) modern songs. Black Hole Sun taught by Chris would be an amazing addition to the song catalog. The Pixies would be another top choice to see some material from!
