Creative alternatives that include rather than exclude beginners from making music.
What’s Different Here?
I Flip Things
Beginning players often start out in the hardest part of the guitar- open position, where the frets feel miles apart. It’s tough to get clear sound and picture yourself ever making music.
It’s an unfriendly introduction to a friendly instrument. And it sets up a lot of beginners to fail and quit.
Don’t do the hard things first. I’ll help you get through the early challenges by sneaking up on the instrument- learning easy things that sound good so you don’t quit.
So what are we flipping?
We start higher up the guitar neck, where the frets are closer together and it’s easier to get clear sound.
We focus on the strumming/picking hand instead of the fretting hand while your fingertips toughen up. We develop your picking/strumming skills first to give you easy wins that motivate you to keep going.
We build left-hand skills gradually, starting with smaller chord shapes that are easier to play. We sneak up on full chords by starting smaller, giving you the encouragement that comes from early success.
Not saying don’t master your chords- just suggesting you postpone the tough ones and prioritize strumming/picking skills first!
Think of it like this. The left hand is basically holding stuff down. It’s the right hand that brings the vibe, the groove, and turns that “stuff” to music.
You deserve to hear yourself making music early! It will inspire you to keep going.
