"Thank you Marc for an outstanding lesson plan! I've stopped several times playing the guitar throughout my childhood, teenage and adulthood life; mainly, because I've lost the joy for it. Taking Marc's course has helped me re-ignite that joy to learn, play, and have fun while doing so. I actually look forward now to block off time from my schedule so I can sit down and play the guitar. Fantastic course. Thanks again!!" - Juan R

“This course was a brilliant experience. My   special thanks to Marc Barnacle for his patient and well organised course. Highly recommended for all those who are planning to start playing the Guitar.” - Tushar Pandey


I am a novice in music and have always wanted to learn guitar since childhood. This course has proved to be a boon for absolute beginners like me. I loved guitar but had no knowledge about it. Now, I can hold the guitar and play the guitar confidently. Highly recommended for absolute beginners. - S A

This class is a MUST! I've played guitar on and off for nearly a decade and I swear to you that I've learned more HERE than I have in most other lessons and independent mediums! Marc is fantastic, very enthusiastic and supportive, and I adore every moment of this class. - Siddhartha -Riku- Villanueva

TECHNIQUE

Master a range of exercises that will improve overall finger strength, independence, stretching capabilities & the speed you're able to play at. Guidance practice schedules will help enhance your development, and the courses accompanying PDF's will provide further assistance & clarity.

Riffs, Licks & Songs

Alongside your technical development, there will be a mix of riffs and songs that span multiple eras and genres. They act as a great way to implement the variety of skills and knowledge you will be gaining. The chords, strumming patterns & musical awareness you will acquire throughout this course, will arm you with the ability to go and research more of your favourite pieces of music, and master them as well.

Creative Expression

A chance to explore your creative abilities. I believe everyone has unique creative expression and this course will provide opportunity to showcase yours. We will look at working within specific keys of music, creating our own chord progressions and then applying lead guitar ideas over the top. There will also be backing tracks for you to play and practice along to.
