Welcome to the Rock School Guitar Method

I'm so glad you decided to get started! I'm Tommy Webb, and I'll be taking you through this course, looking at different styles of music and how to play the guitar as a beginner, all the way up to playing some complete pieces.

Course Overview

In this course, we'll explore a variety of music styles, including:

  • Rock (my favorite to play)
  • Pop
  • Country
  • Indie
  • Metal
  • Hip Hop

We'll focus on the key skills in these styles and start playing pieces that align with them.

Course Breakdown

The course is structured into several sections:

  1. How the Guitar Works

    • Understanding the parts of the guitar
    • Learning how to play it
  2. Specific Styles

    • Covering six unique styles
    • Identifying key elements within these styles
  3. Performance Pieces

    • Learning nine pieces across the six styles
    • Each piece comes with a backing track for an authentic band experience.

All exercises and songs will be accompanied by backing tracks, allowing you to feel like you're playing in a band. We'll also use interactive sheet music, where you can loop specific parts and slow the music down, allowing you to progress at your own pace.

Practice Recommendations

I recommend practicing regularly:

  • Aim to fit in some time each day, if possible.
  • 5 to 20 minutes is perfect.

When I started playing, I practiced for about 5 to 20 minutes every day. This approach is much more effective than playing once a week for an extended period. Remember, little and often is better than one big block of time.

Flexibility of Learning

The fantastic thing about these video lessons is that you can:

  • Pause
  • Rewind
  • Return at any time

Whether you want to practice a skill, loop a section, or go through a piece, it's super easy to use, and you can pick up right where you left off.

Conclusion

I'm really excited to embark on this guitar journey with you, learning some amazing pieces in various styles. So let's get started!
