Beginner to GUITARIST series: LESSON 1 (Your first chords, The Weeknd, Brent Faiyaz, Jack Johnson)

LESSON 1:
I'm so proud of you all already, im sure you’re doing great
Welcome to the Beginner to Guitarist Series. In this series of free lessons, I will walk you through from your first day of playing (or not playing) guitar, to the point where you can:
- Play 75-90% of songs that you enjoy or typically listen to (note: unless you are a Polyphia fan!)
- Self-teach and continue to progress into expert status
- Play along to melodies in songs that you hear in everyday life, and figure out chord progressions by ear
I will be teaching you skills through a list of songs that are enjoyable, relevant, and popular, so that you can enjoy listening to yourself play from a very early point in your learning!
In this week's lesson, I teach you the following skills and concepts:
- Beginner songs: open chords, some tiny melodies
- Strumming
- Posture of the hand, common issues; what NOT to do
- Before some songs; just learn these few chords (engrave them into your forehead if you have to)
- What is a major chord, what is a minor chord (why it matters)
- C, G, Em, Am
- The F chord: this WILL be a barre chord, but for now, let’s play it open
You're gonna be able to learn about 60% of regular songs, there’s gonna be one or two hard chords in there
SONGS IN THIS LESSON:
- Chords of taylor by jack johnson
- Poison with open chords - brent faiyaz (simplified, extra chord in there if you feel spicy; check my tutorial)
- The birds pt 2 (the weeknd)

I‘ve wanted to play the professor and la fille danse, for the longest time, after I watched your video, but nobody has a tutorial on it. Can you do one?
