Hi, I’m Rick and I will be your instructor for what I call Rick’s Guitar School. This is designed to be a ten week course, although it may take more or less than ten weeks depending on your prior knowledge, practice habits, and natural abilities. During this course, you will be learning the fundamentals of music: the musical alphabet, musical notation, timing, rhythm, etc. You will learn the parts of the guitar and guitar vocabulary. You will also be learning how to read musical notation and guitar tablature. You will learn notes, the major chords, minor chords, and seventh chords. You will also learn some songs. At the completion of this course you should be able to read basic musical notation and tablature, demonstrate knowledge of the notes on the guitar, be able to play the major chords, and play at least two songs. To get the most out of this course: Diligently and consistently DO THE STUDY SUGGESTIONS at the end of each week’s lesson and practice regularly at least 30 minutes a day. What you get out of this course will largely be determined by your efforts. Practice is the key to your success. If you consider the 30-minute lesson as your only practice for the week, you won’t get very far. Do yourself a favor and put in the effort to practice every day. If you wish to continue your guitar education, upon completion of this course we can set up a personal learning plan based on what you want to accomplish – which may include simply learning songs or getting into more advanced techniques. Nothing is set in stone. If you have your own particular style of learning, just let me know and we can arrange the lessons accordingly. This course is flexible, and we can spend extra time on specific topics if you wish, or address topics that are not in this covered in this book. I want you to get the most out of this course. Do the “Study Suggestions” and put in the practice time so that you fully absorb the material before moving on to the next week. Also make sure to keep the material you have already learned fresh in your mind, by constantly going back and review what you’ve learned. I highly recommend that you at least try to complete the this course and then decide where you want to go from there. As with just about anything worth pursuing, it will require effort, diligence, perseverance, and a positive attitude. If you put a little bit into it, you will get a little bit out of it. If you put a lot into this, your rewards will be plentiful. It’s all up to you. The guitar is a wonderful instrument. It can provide you years of entertainment, pleasure, and enjoyment. So do your best, be positive, have fun, and good luck!
To take this course you will need: This book, a guitar, and a tuner and metronome.
