WHERE DO I START?????

The most frequently asked question!

95% of all Guitar College students find the College Starter Pack which includes
Theory & Technique Vol. 1 and Rhythm Guitar the most effective starting point.

This combination works efficiently for almost every student whether you're a relatively new guitar student, you’ve played guitar for years without formal music education or you have a degree in music and starting guitar as a new instrument. These courses briefly cover some basics in music then build quickly in difficulty like a snowball.

Some information may be familiar to you, don’t bypass it, use it as a refresher course for quicker progress. It may be presented differently than before because it’s now specifically related to guitar and it’s reorganized for easier comprehension.
