What you'll do

Developing Your Ear
A little ear training goes a long way! I will show you how to first identify the key of the song and find it on guitar. Then we will learn how to identify chord movement and chord qualities.

Rhythmic Accompaniment
We will learn various styles of playing rhythmically on the guitar, specifically with the right hand (or left if you're left handed). This will be accomplished through popular song examples that will be the focus of each week.

Expanding Fretboard Knowledge
By learning scales, arpeggios and chords we will be able to expand our vision of the fretboard, making it easier to pick up any song quickly!

Chord Scale Relationships
Chords and Scales have a vital relationship! By understanding how chords and scales work together and are essentially derived from each other, you will have a deeper understanding of how Chord Progressions work!
Who you are
This is an Intermediate level course. A basic knowledge or familiarity of first position chord shapes (like C major, D major, E major, Eminor, etc.) and barre chords will be needed.
What to bring
Bring along your guitar and a pen and paper, tablet or your phone to take notes! Additionally, I will provide tablature/musical notation and chord charts of the musical examples!

Joshua is a great teacher. His classes are fun and he really helped with my knowledge of the fretboard and chord progressions up and down the neck. Looking forward to his next lessons!
