Hi Nate,


 


If you're a beginner or can find value with some review, and really want to get serious in learning the basics of guitar playing right the first time, you'd likely want to start with the Core Learning System. That map of progression of courses is here: https://www.guitartricks.com/corelearningsystem.php


The Core Learning System is a superior well-designed step by step course that moves one through the very basics of how to hold and tune your guitar, to basic chords and scales.  And as it progresses, you learn more skills in a time-proven manner throughout Guitar Fundamentals One and Two:

https://www.guitartricks.com/course.php?input=fundamentals2


Again, even if this just review it is super helpful!  When the lessons get a bit more difficult, then you would know to take more time and focus on the skills taught.  You can repeat any lesson as needed.  You can loop sections of the video to fully master the concept taught.


And then when you "graduate" from the Fundamentals, then you can progress to the "Intermediate" side which has a focus on Rock, Country, Blues, and Acoustic. All that is here:https://www.guitartricks.com/experienced
