About this course

Got a guitar at home that you wish you could play better?

Get started playing guitar with the help of singer-songwriter Lissie, and learn to play two of her songs, 'When I'm Alone' and 'Everywhere I Go', with these interactive online guitar lessons.

Lissie describes herself as a self-taught guitar player, focused more on emotion and rhythm than technique. She has developed her own approach to playing, based on a handful of easy-to-learn chord shapes that can be moved around the fretboard to play almost any song, including many of her own tracks.

In this exclusive online music course, recorded at The Pool Studio in London, Lissie teaches you this simple method and how to use it to play two of her superb hit songs.

You don't have to read music to take this course. All you need is a love of Lissie's music, an acoustic or electric guitar, and a willingness to learn.

Over 25 lessons you will learn:

Guitar basics and tuning the guitar
Essential chord shapes

Meet the Guru

Lissie

Lissie is a folk-rocker who grew up in Rock Island, Illinois, near the Mississippi River, speaking her mind and writing songs from an early age. Fans first fell in love with her voice on the five-song EP 'Why You Runnin'', produced by Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses, which Paste Magazine ranked among its Eight Most Auspicious Musical Debuts.

In 2010, her first full-length album 'Catching A Tiger' unassumingly established Lissie as a global voice. Stateside praise was matched in the UK with acclaim from the BBC, Evening Standard, Uncut and The Independent, who described it as "as refreshing a slice of pop as these jaded ears have heard in years." The album went on to sell 300,000 copies worldwide - 100,000 of them in the UK, where it was certified Gold.

Highlights along the way:

Nominated for Best Breakthrough Act at the Q Awards, and tapped by VH1 as a "You Oughta Know" artist
Festival sets at Glastonbury, Hard Rock Calling, Latitude, Secret Garden Party and Bestival
TV appearances including Later with Jools Holland and Sunday Brunch
Screen roles in Loudermilk and David Lynch's Twin Peaks, where NME praised her "intense" performance closing the episode with the Stevie Nicks-esque 'Wild West': "Rock Island's most exciting troubadour more than earned her Lynch-commissioned screen time."
'Carving Canyons' (out September 16), her first full-length album since the UK Top 10 'Castles' in 2018

In her guitar course, Lissie shares the chords, strumming and songwriting instincts behind her songs - everything you need to start playing like Rock Island's finest troubadour.
