Welcome to course number one at Optimum Guitar School Online!

The course consists of 10 lessons that you can do whenever you want. Below you find the Studies that the lessons are based on. I suggest however that you do one lesson a week, preferably at the same time every week. How about Wednesday evenings at seven?

And don't forget the most important part, to practice between the lessons.

Good luck!

Are you soon finishing or have you already finished course one? Then you migth wanna try your newly required skills in some "real" music.

The Studies one to ten are not the goal, the goal is you being able to play the music that you care for.

Here I show you the intros to some famous songs that you can play after having completed course one. Even if you are not a fan of Beatles or Bob Marley I hope you enjoy learning these cool licks before moving on to course two.

Good luck!
