Coming Soon:Instrument Lessons/Bluffers Guides
By Rick | September 5, 2007
Yup, we’ll be introducing some tutorial and reference material for beginning instrument players. Eventually we hope to have whole, structured learning courses for a number of instruments, but these will obviously take a while to build up so we’ll do it in installments.
Some of the initial lesson articles will be in the form of quick-start or “bluffers’” guides aimed at teaching the basics that one needs to start playing songs as quickly as possible. These will be unashamedly superficial. They will teach things like the basic chords and progressions that are used in thousands of the most popular songs. In-depth tutorials on music theory and instrument technique will follow but, in keeping with the philosophy of the site, the stuff we’ll be producing most urgently will be the stuff that will cut through the crap and enable you to stand up with a bunch of other musicians and just play!
The first couple of articles will appear in the next few days and will be quick-start guides for guitar and mandolin.
Also on the way are more in our series concerning which instruments beginners may like to consider learning.
