Welcome! I’m Nick, and even though I’ve taught thousands of students, earned a master’s degree in music composition, and recorded & performed all over the world, the foundation of everything I know about music and being a musician came from how I learned to play guitar: through chords . Learning simple chords helped me to: Quickly play the songs I loved Gain confidence (so I didn’t lose momentum) Begin to understand the building blocks of music Get the skills I needed to play in public with others... Whether you’re looking to start a life-long career as a musician, or just want to pick up a new skill — or anything in between — the place to start is learning a solid foundation, rooted in basic chords, with me. In these 8 lessons, you’ll learn: All the essential building-block chords every guitarist needs Easy tips for practicing, posture, strumming, expression and musicianship, and more Chord-by-chord, exactly how to play 17 classic and current songs The Ultimate Chord Progression that unlocks almost any pop tune PLUS , I’m including some bonus videos about playing in public, creating your own “original covers,” and how to stay motivated and keep up your momentum, no matter what . Each lesson covers a lot of ground, so take your time with it. Use each lesson as the basis for your practice for at least one week for best results.

Welcome to your first guitar lesson! Some of you may be complete beginners never having held a guitar before, and some may have picked it up on your own but don’t feel like you’ve really mastered the basics. Either way, this course is for you. The guitar is an easy instrument to get good at quickly and within a few lessons you’ll be playing songs. Playing the guitar is a skill that you’ll have for the rest of your life. It’s a perfect relaxation tool, great socially, and both fun and easy. I find that most beginning lessons either focus only on reading notes (which would bore me to death), or only on basic folk strumming and chords (and I like all styles of music). These lessons will give you an introduction to several different styles and all the lessons apply to either acoustic or electric guitar players. We’ll begin with shopping for a guitar and basic technique. By the time you finish the lessons you’ll be playing chords, well known riffs, tablature, fingerstyle,power chords, a twelve-bar blues, and a pentatonic scale. In the end, you’ll have a taste of all the basics and you can continue your lessons concentrating on the style that you like best. So lets get going and get our “Hands-On Guitar!”

The Italian YouTuber Dennis Bottero will teach you how to play the most famous Ed Sheeran's songs with easy chords and strumming . Adapting the Key of each song, he managed to create an easy and intuitive repertoire to play with friends. This is also an awesome method to play guitar without theory. ( Songsbook included )

The Ultimate Beginners Guide For You To Play Harmonic Interval Runs on Your Acoustic or Electric Guitar Harmonic Intervals? What Are They? Two notes played at the same time In previous Guitar Lessons I have taught various Single Note Runs to be used in-between guitar chords. These were all played on either bass or treble strings. And typically spice up your playing especially if you are a solo artist/singer/songwriter. In this course you will learn to play runs with more than one note at a time, adding beautiful harmonies to your playing. This is also a stand-alone Guitar Lesson. It is not necessary to have taken my other courses to benefit from this course. This is another independent skill to help you master your instrument. At the end of this course you will be playing beautiful runs and harmonies on two or more strings in various positions on the neck of your guitar. Never Played Harmonic Intervals on Your Guitar Before? Don't worry. There was a time when you did not play guitar chords. This is just as easy to learn as learning to play guitar chords. These guitar lessons take you on a journey breaking down everything you need to know. All it takes on your part is to have fun learning and practising the basic guitar patterns. These guitar lessons are presented in small manageable chunks. You will have Multi-angle Videos and pdf files in TAB and Musical Score for each pattern.
