Each lesson in this series is thoughtfully designed by Jamie Humphries, to help novice players grasp key guitar skills and concepts. Here, we delve into the specific techniques covered in the series, outlining the benefits of each and how they enhance your musical capabilities.
Basic Chords
Chords form the fundamental harmonic backbone of guitar music. In this series, you will learn crucial basic chords, including power chords and barre chords, which are versatile across various musical genres. Mastering these chords will not only enable you to play numerous songs but also aid in developing your hand strength and coordination.
Basic Theory
A solid understanding of music theory is invaluable for any musician. Our lessons introduce you to the basics of guitar theory, including chord progressions and scales. This foundational knowledge helps you understand song structures and can improve your ability to learn new pieces more quickly and effectively.
Triads
Triads are three-note chords that provide a simpler way to understand and construct chords. Our series covers major and minor triads, essential for embellishing your rhythm and lead playing. Understanding arpeggios, which are broken down triads, can significantly enhance your soloing techniques and musical expression.
Scales
Learning scales is critical for developing your finger dexterity and musical ear. We focus on teaching both major and minor scales that are fundamental for soloing and improvisation. Mastery of scales also improves your understanding of musical relationships, aiding in composing and improvising melodies.
Getting Different Guitar Tones
Exploring different guitar tones is essential for expressive guitar playing. This series educates on achieving various tones by manipulating guitar settings and using techniques like palm muting and pick slides. Such skills are crucial for players aiming to match the tone styles of different genres and artists.
