Udemy Easy Bluegrass Guitar Learn: You Are My Sunshine [TUTORiAL]

Learn by playing. This is a beginner course for guitar sing-a-long using You Are My Sunshine as an example of how singing in a group works when you are new to the process.

We look at playing guitar as a group project. You're going to jam with others at some point, either other musicians or singers, so why not start out thinking about that?

We start out with the basics. What is the strum, what is a chord, how do chords work together to make a key.

We also look at song structure, what is a verse, a chorus, a break. What are intros and how do you do them?

What are outros and how do you work them in? What about doing a lead guitar break if you are a beginner? It's all in this class.

There are some secret guitar tricks along the way and wisdom from years of playing. The important thing is to get it and do it.

This class makes that easy because no tabs or music notation is used. We do use diagrams showing the neck of the guitar and where your fingers go. And, we show how to play the song.

We teach the things that other teachers forget to teach.
