If you've ever wanted to learn how to play the guitar but didn't know where to start and don't want to spend a lot of money on private lessons, this is the app for you! Mahalo's beginner guitar course will get you acquainted with the basics so you can start rockin' out.
Follow along with our guitar expert Jen Trani—a guitar instructor who's been playing since she was 13—as she shows you all the basic guitar essentials to get you on your way to becoming a guitar hero. You will learn the correct way to hold your guitar, pick a string, strum some chords, play some songs and work on exercises that will build your dexterity and muscle memory.
Start to finish, the course runs about an hour long, but you should expect to spend three hours running through it at a slow, steady pace, adding in time for your own additional practice and review of difficult concepts. Additionally, you'll want to practice at least 20 minutes a day until these skills become second nature.
Now let's get ready to rock!
