Welcome

Welcome to “Back to Basics”! The guitar course that will accompany you whilst you learn about this amazing instrument!

The course is designed and taught by the Strummin’ Guitar teachers that over the last years have taught many aspiring guitarists sets of songs in preparation for the Strummin’ Show. Who knows, maybe you can join us next concert?

Lessons will have a mix of video, audio and text. In the videos our instructors will explain the various concepts and show how to do the exercises. The text material will explain the same concepts but with diagrams and exercises.

Accompanying the course is a Facebook Group with more resources and a community of students that are also working on this course. This Facebook group can help with any questions that you may need. Any issues you find on the course do not hesitate to contact us! We encourage you to join the group via the link below.
