The Thing
![](http://www.learncigarboxguitar.com/sites/default/files/icons/emoticon120.png)
The 4 string is a very different instrument to the 3 string, there is more scope in what you can do with it and so the approach to learning needs to reflect that. All of the courses here build skills, the 4 string course focuses a little more on building knowledge as well. The 4 string course is larger than the 3 string courses and covers areas such as scale/chord construction and musicianship. It represents a comprehensive approach to playing a more complex instrument and provides the essential knowledge you'll need for the workshops, ebooks and song lessons elsewhere on the site
The Courses
![](http://www.learncigarboxguitar.com/sites/default/files/icons/graduation30.png)
The main course is about building from scratch the skills you'll need to play fretted instruments with a flatpick and while you're at it learn some Rock classics from the Stones, Creedence, The Beatles and the like. There's a little more theory in the 4 string course just because you've got all those extra options with the 4 strings. Those options also make the theory course and the advanced improvisation course a whole lot more appealing to 4 stringers.

The Workshops

So the main course sets you up with the basics but if you want to learn the dark arts of slide and fingerstyle guitar there are 6 workshops that take you through the skills and a stack of traditional blues to play. All up you've got the best set of resources for 4 string guitarists anywhere in the known universe.
