Udemy Good Guitar Habits

Whether you're a guitarist who's been at it for years or a new player, chances are that you've developed many habits... and not always the good kind. In this course, I'm sharing some of my private students' most valued first-hand lessons - how to develop good guitar habits.

In this course, you'll learn how to play anything (chords, scales, etc.) in all 12 keys and you'll learn how to practice effectively and efficiently. The sections on playing in 12 keys will give established beginners (and transitional intermediate players) a much more complete understanding of how musical keys map out across the guitar fretboard AND how to use that to their advantage. The section on practice routines will outline recommendations for refining, expanding and optimizing your practice time so that you can get even more out of the same time commitment.

In between these fundamental training sections are two sections on alternate picking and fingerpicking - 2 areas where I see my private students developing their bad habits most often. The purpose of these sections is to establish clear guidelines for learning and practicing these important skills.
