Start Playing Guitar: From basics to your first song
A course by Michelle Joyce

Join Michelle Joyce and learn to play guitar. Master the basics with structured lessons on chords, rhythms, and practice routines.

Discover the magic of playing the guitar with Michelle Joyce, also known as Guitar Goddess on YouTube, as she guides you step by step to play your first song from day one.

You'll start by choosing the guitar that best fits your style and preferences, as well as learning how to tune it, and practicing specific yoga exercises to improve your posture and avoid tension.

You'll learn to play your first notes and chords, how to make smooth transitions between them, and how to structure your practice sessions effectively to maximize your progress.

With a light and fun methodology, you'll not only learn to play your first song but also acquire the necessary tools to continue your musical journey independently.

What is this course's project?

The final project involves using the chords you've learned to play a song based on those chords. By the end, you'll have applied everything you've learned and be able to confidently perform your first song.

Who is this online course for?

This course is designed for beginners who want to learn to play the guitar from scratch. It's also ideal for those with basic knowledge who want to improve their technique.

No prior experience is required, just enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.

Requirements and materials

You will need a guitar, either acoustic or electric, depending on your preference. It will also be useful to have a pick and a tuner to ensure your guitar is always correctly tuned.

Additionally, have a notebook handy to take notes and track your progress.
