First Grade Phase 2: Lesson 1

Welcome to Phase 2 of your guitar playing journey. You’re forging ahead, and I bet that you have already improved in leaps and bounds.[/fusion_text][fusion_text]This lesson – as with all the other lessons in Phase 2 – will run as follows: first, we’ll practice our scales and exercises, then we’ll revise, and finally, we’ll learn something new.

Part 1: Practicing scales and exercises

When you learn any instrument, including the guitar, practicing your scales is essential. Mastering scales and related exercises will ensure you develop a reliable technique.

Part 2: Revising

Revising the content you’ve already learned is vital. Otherwise, you might just end up forgetting it! Remember, you want to create a solid foundation of playing technique and knowledge. Any cracks can lead to disaster further down the track.

Part 3: New studies

Yes, revision is important. But learning something new is equally so. In Part 3 of this lesson, we’ll take a look at two studies. And in case you’re not sure, a study is a piece of music that has an exercise cleverly built into it.
