Learn to play guitar and 1,000 songs in just 3 weeks! Sounds like one of those late-night infomercials, huh? If you’ve ever tried to learn how to play guitar only to lay it down in frustration, this claim may be particularly unbelievable. Well, here’s the deal…

First off, we’re not promising that you’ll become the next Eddie Van Halen in 21 days. In fact, we’re not even going to teach you how to “solo” or play lead guitar (those guitar lessons come later). But we are going to teach you all you need to know to play hundreds of your favorite songs on guitar — 8 simple chords, a few simple strums and a basic understanding of how music works.

Did you know that thousands and thousands of popular songs can be played with 8 chords or less? In fact, learn the A chord, D chord and E chord and you’ll be able to play hundreds of popular blues and rock songs. Dig folk songs? Add hundreds more to your repertoire.

That’s the “trick” behind this course. We’re not going to make you struggle through tedious theory or exercises. You don’t need to know how to read or write music. You’ll simply play along with the instructor following a 21 day video lesson plan. You’ll learn new chords and strums along the way, which you can immediately start using to play songs.

Your guitar guru over these 21 days is singer, songwriter and guitar player extraordinaire - Ravi. Ravi is uniquely qualified to teach you how to play guitar. Ravi has played on the world’s biggest stages, made dozens of TV appearances and has even performed at a White House Christmas Party. More to the point of this course, Ravi has taught thousands of people how to play and enjoy guitar.

Why is this entire, full-length video guitar course free to you? Good question. Easy answer. If we get you up and running and put a smile on your face, you’ll likely stick around and spend some real green on some of our other courses.

So where do you find the songs? Ravi will reference a song list during the course. This song list can be found at TrueFire’s Song Library Forum and is organized by the number of chords in the song. You’ll note that this is a “live” list being updated frequently with new songs so stay tuned to those pages. There are dozens of great “easy guitar” songbooks that you can buy in stores or online. There’s also tons of downloadable songs with lyrics and chords all over the Internet. Just Google your favorite tunes. Or try Googling “song lyrics and chords.”

There’s also a ton of great stuff for you in TrueFire’s Beginner’s Hang Forum. Pick up on more chord charts, some easy theory lessons, and lots of great advice from some very knowledgeable guitar players and instructors.

OK, enough babbling. Grab your guitar and dig in!

Greetings! I had been working on this one now for a few weeks prior to MJ’s untimely death yesterday. What a drag!

Thanks to Youtube I have fallen in love with his music all over again these past couple of years…since the original “Billie Jean” video I made. Tune after tune, I find MJ to be an amazing genius of music. Really!

It was only fitting to video and upload this song today, as it was the next on my list anyway! This is my musical prayer for MJ’s soul, and for the comfort of his family who must be grieving terribly.

I hope you enjoy this music.

MJ You had a tough life, abusive parents, no childhood to speak of and lived with unbelievable stress and emotional damage. May your soul find peace and rest. (Farrah and Ed - may you find rest too…what a week this has been!)

Thank you for the grooves, the melody, the dancing and the soundtrack of my childhood. So many smiles, happy times and parties - even tears, made life feel like “technicolor” thanks to you, MJ.

I played this song on a Cole Clark Fat Lady Guitar (FL 2AC), and recorded audio on a Studio Projects C3 Mic into Digital Performer.

Enjoy, and contact me anytime!!!!

Click the above link to get three free jam tracks from Next Level Guitar and start ripping it up and practicing these techniques over a fun track!

In this lesson I teach an easy technique for creating riffs using scale fragments and moving it all over the neck. You can do this with any scale. You will be tearing it up fast and easy playing across the fretboard. Then we have a jam with a backing track to apply what you are learning. Jam tracks are an essential practice tool for the guitarist.
