That depends on your skill level & musical goals. I encourage all beginner students to work through the Guitar Fundamentals courses. And if those are too easy, then pick a style course.

In GF1 you'll learn basic single note melodies along with the note names in the open & first position. That prepares you for learning basic major & minor scales in GF2.

Hope that helps!
