The lessons are divided into two grades and they contain all the skills that were in Justin's classic course and a whole lot more. The structure is similar but with some improvements!
You can start with the Quickstart session - a short introduction lesson available for free before the actual Grade 1 curriculum begins. It works as a taster, warm-up, and orientation, helping your get comfortable with the instrument and basic concepts before starting structured lessons.
- Grade 1 - Covers the essential skills that were covered in roughly Stages 1-3 of the classic course, the essential open chords, basic strumming and loads of songs.
- Grade 2 - Builds on all of that and includes new chords, strumming concepts and focussed modules on Power Chords, Blues, and Fingerstyle.
- Grade 3 - Introduces Barre Chords, how to sing along whilst playing, navigating the fretboard easier, open tuning, using vibrato and much more!
Each GRADE is divided into 7 MODULES, which consist of between 8 and 15 lessons. Each step focuses on one aspect of playing that you need to learn. At the end of each Module, there will be a practice routine for you to follow until you can achieve the goals, at which point you will move on to the next module.
You need a subscription to access Grade 1 to Grade 3, which covers Module 1 through Module 22.
When completing a module, the app suggests some songs for you to jam with. You can also search songs by song titles or artists' names in the SEARCH tab; find history songs and your Favourites (heart) songs in the FOR YOU tab; and explore songs categorized with Genres, Chords or Modules in the COLLECTION tab.
Before playing the songs, you may want to tuner your guitar. Simply go to the TUNER tab and find a tuner from the three different modes.
Happy learning and happy jamming! :)
