How it works

Lessons 4–5: Building Comfort & Confidence Chord Expansion: Moving beyond open chords (adding Dm, A7, C7, etc.) Switching Practice: Smooth transitions between chords, basic chord-change drills Strumming Patterns: Introducing new rhythmic feels (down-up, syncopation, palm muting) First Complete Song: Simple 2–3 chord progression that they can play through start to finish --- Lessons 6–7: Strengthening Rhythm & Technique Strumming Variations: Shuffle feel, accents, dynamics Intro to Power Chords: Moving from open chords to root + fifth shapes (great for rock songs) Basic Riff Playing: Learning a recognizable riff (e.g., Smoke on the Water or Seven Nation Army) Playing with a Metronome: Internalizing steady rhythm --- Lessons 8–9: Exploring Melody & Musicality Single-Note Playing: Basic melody lines, easy scale fragments Intro to Scales: Pentatonic scale (box 1) for finger dexterity & improvisation basics Call-and-Response Exercises: Teacher plays a short lick, student copies Combining Chords & Melody: Playing riffs inside chord progressions --- Lesson 10: Putting It Together Song Study: Tackling a full beginner-friendly song with both chords and a riff/melody Improvisation Basics: Jamming over a simple backing track with the pentatonic scale Performance Practice: Playing along with recordings to develop timing and feel Goal Check-In: Reviewing progress, celebrating wins, and setting the next milestone (barre chords, fingerpicking, songwriting, etc.)
