About Me
Hi!Nice to meet, I’m a 25 year old crazy about anything and everything music.
I started learning how to read music at the age of 5 when my mom got me this interactive board where I’d spend my days and nights figuring out the sounds of chords and deciphering them from other notes.
I really fell in love with music in college where I met like minded people that were passionate about their own genre of music, mine by the way is soul and a type called “RnB” music made popular by the likes of Beyoncé and Ne-Yo (don’t worry if you haven’t heard of Ne-Yo, I’m pretty old)
So what I’m trying to say is, if you have that seed of curiosity in learning how to play a musical instrument or writing like your favourite artists, I’m the guy to get you started on that journey!
Looking forward to being a part of your adventure!

Let’s learn basics of guitar.Guitar Basics
The guitar is a versatile and popular stringed musical instrument, widely used across genres like rock, pop, blues, classical, and more. Understanding the basics is essential for beginners to start playing and progress effectively. Here’s a concise overview:
1. Parts of the Guitar
• Body: The main part, which amplifies sound in acoustic guitars or houses electronics in electric ones.
• Neck: The long, thin section where the fretboard is located, used for pressing strings to form notes.
• Fretboard: A flat surface with metal frets, dividing the neck into segments for different pitches.
• Headstock: At the end of the neck, it holds the tuning pegs to adjust string tension.
• Strings: Typically six, labeled (from thickest to thinnest) E (low), A, D, G, B, and E (high).
• Bridge: Anchors the strings to the body, transferring vibrations to produce sound.
2. Types of Guitars
• Acoustic: Produces sound naturally via the hollow body; ideal for folk, country, and classical.
• Electric: Relies on an amplifier and pickups to produce sound; common in rock, jazz, and metal.
• Classical: Features nylon strings, suited for classical and fingerstyle playing.
• Bass: A four-string variant for lower pitches, used to anchor rhythm and harmony.
3. Tuning
Standard tuning for a six-string guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E. Use a tuner (electronic or app-based) to adjust each string’s pitch by turning the tuning pegs. A properly tuned guitar ensures notes and chords sound correct.
4. Basic Techniques
• Holding the Guitar: Sit with the guitar resting on your dominant leg (right leg for right-handed players), keeping the neck slightly tilted upward. For electric, a strap allows standing.
• Fretting: Press strings down on the fretboard with your fingertips (left hand for right-handed players) to change notes. Use light but firm pressure just behind the fret.
• Strumming/Picking: Use a pick or fingersਸ
System: your fingers to strum or pluck the strings with your right hand. Start with simple patterns.
5. Chords and Notes
• Chords: Combinations of notes played together. Beginners often start with open chords like C, G, D, A, and E, using multiple fingers to press strings.
• Notes: Single pitches, found by pressing a string on a specific fret. Practice simple scales like the major or minor pentatonic.

For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻🏫
Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥
