Everything You Need to Know to Play Guitar

Learn Guitar in Only 12-15 Weeks

In only 15 weeks (12 weeks during summer term) you can learn all the tricks and techniques you need to play rhythm guitar. By the end of this course you will have all the tools you need to play rhythm guitar for any worship song.

I am not promising you will have mastered all the techniques in 12-15 weeks. Mastering guitar is a lifelong pursuit. But I am promising that you will have learned everything you need to play any worship song on guitar.

FAQ

Still not sure if this course is for you? Here are a few questions you may be asking:
