A method for 4 stringed guitars tuned GDGB. Again building specific skills one at a time starting with simple movements and developing them into more complex ones with the focus on accuracy and musicality. The 4 string guitar provides more scope than the 3 string and so this course goes significantly further, ending with some complex songs and a more advanced skill set. The ability to play a richer variety of chords also means that there's more theory in this one. You don't need it to play the songs or to build the technical skills necessary to play but it's there if you want it.

The first half of the course covers skills and from there you'll look at developing your theoretical understanding of how scales and chords interact with each other and you'll learn some of the great classic rock songs.
