Hot Lessons

A common question we receive is “What order should I read the lessons in?”

This is something that is going to depend a lot on you. Everyone who comes here will be playing guitar at a different level. Also, there will be some areas that interest some more than others. Rather than leaving things totally in the wind, several of our lessons have been written in a series format. This page has some of the more popular series that will more than get you started.
