    Good choice!

    A step-by-step path is the best way to do this. That’s why I created Beginner’s Journey.
    You see, most of us start off with a variety of learning experiences. Watch a few YouTube videos. Take a couple of private lessons. Learn a few riffs from a friend.
    This creates an education with gaps. Often BIG gaps. You could say it’s a bit like Swiss cheese. By filling in some of the “holes”, and tightening up some of the basic skills, it’s much easier to move forward.
    But fear not. You now have the power of a system that I’ve created from years of experience. By following the system you know you’re not missing something critical.
    You’ll have a working checklist of the important guitar playing skills. Those that you’ve covered, and those you need to work on.
    Get started now with beginner’s journey…

    P.S. Because of your interest in fingerpicking I’ll recommend the Fingerpicking Magic 101 Course Module once you’ve completed the Beginner’s Journey. We can also re-evaluate. Feel free to ask questions anytime.

    Hi Fatid,

    Welcome.

    How you feel about what you’ve learned up to this point (choose one)?
    1. I’d like to review the foundation skills and while doing so fill in some gaps.
    2. I’m confident in my skills and are ready to move forward.

    Can you think of any questions to ask me or any way I can help you?

    Hi Fatid,

    Welcome to the community. I’m happy to have you here.

    I’d like to help you. Is learning guitar brand new for you or have you been learning already?

    Hi Sisi,

    I’ve listened to some of your videos on YouTube… awesome!

    What a voice!

    I appreciate your willingness to go through the basics. The Beginner’s Journey is for beginners. If you find it’s going a little too slow you might want to check out the Rapid Learning System 101 and 102 in the Course Modules.

    There’s also an entire course module on Bar Chords… and more advanced chords as well.

    If you’d like some more recommendations just let me know.

    I can relate to being impatient… story of my life 🙂

    Hi Sisi,

    Welcome and happy New Year!

    I agree… all the good songs need at least one bar chord 🙂

    The main issue I’ve found with students is they attempt bar chords with little preparation.

    If you’d like some feedback on where to get started let me now.

    I see you’ve spent some time on Begger Guitar For Grownups course. Good start. I’d encourage you to start on the Beginner’s Journey (The Roadmap). It’s the next logical place and very step-by-step.

    I’ve just simplified the Home Page so it’s one of the big circles on top.

    Let me know if that makes sense or if there’s something else I should know to best help you.

    Take care Sisi,

    Tomas

    Yes, that makes sense. I’ve just created a General Discussion forum. Let’s give it a try.

    Thanks again Jack. I really appreciate your ideas.

    Hi Jack,

    I apologize for not responding to this sooner. Thanks for attending the “Uke” session.

    Are you thinking of kind of a General topic in addition to the Community Help Forum?

    Hi Roxanne,

    They are called Play-Along Tracks and you can access them in the left sidebar.

    Here’s the direct link: https://realguitarsuccess.com/play-along-tracks/

    Sometimes I call them Jam Tracks… I haven’t decided which I like best 🙂

    This is where I’ve compiled the different backing tracks.

    You’ll find that courses (like Improvisation FastTrack) have tracks included right there on the course page and lesson page.

    BTW… I’ll be talking about Improvisation at tomorrow’s (Thursday 11/2/17) RGS Live.

    Hi John,

    I’m Tomas from Alameda, California (near San Francisco).

    Welcome to Real Guitar Success and to the forum. Glad you made it.

    Are you a brand-new beginner or have you been playing for little while?

    If so are there any issues that you know you’d like to work on?

    I look forward to hearing from you and supporting you in your guitar learning journey.

    Bye for now John,

    Tomas
