Discover the delight of playing the guitar in this beginner-friendly class — part of the Complete Guitar Learning Path that will take you from total newbie to practiced player!
Guitarist Taylor Gamble grew up in a musical family. The daughter of a singer and a sound technician, Taylor played a variety of instruments when she was young, but even then, the guitar always stood out to her. She discovered that playing could soothe her anxiety, lift her mood, and tap into her creativity.
Now a professional musician who’s worked with artists like Stevie Wonder, Ari Lennox, and Victoria Monét, Taylor lives to share the joy of the guitar with others. In this class, she’ll guide you through the foundational knowledge to handle your instrument with confidence and set up your guitar practice for success.
Together with Taylor, you’ll tackle hands-on lessons such as:
- Holding your guitar, and identifying its parts
- Tuning a guitar and learning string namesÂ
- Deciphering guitar charts and tablature
Taylor’s warm, approachable style makes learning to play the guitar simple, systematic, and fun. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby, revisiting an old passion, or just interested in what it takes to become a guitarist, this class is the perfect place to start!
This class was created with first-time players in mind. If you've ever wanted to learn the guitar but felt too overwhelmed to start, this is the class for you. Since learning music takes time, this class is designed to complement your own self-guided practice or lessons. Taylor uses an electric guitar, a pick, an amp, a tuner, and a quarter-inch cable; follow along with whatever guitar you have access to, acoustic or electric. Ready to learn more?
