Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

My #1 aim was to make these the best beginner acoustic guitar lessons you can find online. My teaching philosophy is "don't bore us, take us to the chorus". In other words, you'll be playing songs faster than you ever thought possible. We don't spend days talking about acoustic guitar anatomy and boring "non-playing" stuff. You can learn that stuff anywhere. With this beginner acoustic guitar course, we cut right to the chase and get you playing asap. I know you'll love these acoustic guitar lessons!!! Remember, once you've made it through this free course, you'll be fully ready to try Tony's Acoustic Challenge which is the best place for fingerpickers & flatpickers to build skills, repertoire, & the confidence to play for others.
