If you are anything like me and you love rock and metal music, this is definitely where you want to start from.

​

In this crash course, you'll learn all the basic skills you need to be a good rock guitar player. These skills, of course, are not exclusive to rock music, but you'll definitely need all of these to play rock well.

​

Yes, trust me, it's what I use the most.

What you'll need

​

​

To take this course effectively, you'll need to know the following topics well:

​

• Musical notes and intervals (if you don't, learn here).

• Locate notes on the fretboard (if you don't, learn here and watch this video).

• Hold the guitar properly (if you don't, learn here).

• Tuning the guitar (if you don't, learn here).

​

You'll also need:

​

• A guitar (duh!). If it's electric, then you'll also need:

  • An amp.​

  • Lead cable.

If you need help with getting your first guitar, read this.​

• At least 3 hours of practice per week recommended. More is preferable, but consistency is best.

• Badass attitude. If you are in desperate need of some, go watch any classic film featuring Marlon Brando, James Dean, or Clint Eastwood, and you'll learn.

​

You can go ahead and skip any lessons you feel you are already good at.

Yeah, I won't tell anyone.

​

Enough talk. Let's rock!
