iphone version of the previous vidcast.
Learning how to play some basic chords and also strumming. Chords include E, A, B7, D, G, and C, and how to change quickly between them. Master these chords and you'll be half way to mastering any chord! (initial description) Hi there - welcome to the first vidcast/vodcast of learning how to play the guitar. There are 6 audio podcast sessions which you can hear, but that was really only a test run before I could get the video's uploaded. These clips are part of a DVD that you can get at www.IWantToPlayGuitar.com along with the book, or for the budget option, 'the download' where you get the whole book via Pdf, and 6 movies. A firm believer in customer choice, you could also get a hard copy pocket book AND the DVD via EBAY at: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/jazziejane My full time occupation and passion has always been to try and make the learning of this amazing instrument as accessible as possible, for everyone. I have been teaching and playing guitar for over 20 years, and currently teach 130 students a week mostly in primary schools. I have had this long to hone and perfect this method - and the tweaking continues to make it as effective as I can! Although I have written this method with the 7-12's in mind, if that age group can understand it.. anyone can! Please feel free to feedback with any suggestions in how I can make it even better - andy@guitarsteps.com |
