Best ways to use this site

I'm new here. I've just started learning guitar, I'd like to know the best way to use all this information here? I have a guitat and I know a few chord (learned from YouTube). Should I be going through the guitar essential courses or just skip to the styles or songs I want to play?

It depends on your knowledge & skill level. In general the best path is to start with Guitar Fundamentals 1 & 2.

If you already know the material, then it will be a good review & a breeze to watch through. And it may fill in some holes in your knowledge & skills. Watch until you get to a tutorial that challenges you & then really start to dig in!

At any point I encourage all students to start learning songs. The Made Easy collection is a great place to look for songs if you can already play a few chords in time.

After you work through GF1&2, then you'll be ready for a style course. Pick the one that most interests you. That will keep you motivated! And again, look for songs in that style that match your current level of knowledge & skill.

Hope that helps! Please ask more if necessary & best of success!
