Guitar 1: End of Term Expectations

The end of the term brings us an opportunity to reflect on what we have accomplished on the guitar. We have covered a lot of ground in the past few months. This information and these concepts and techniques are always here on our guitar blog for you to use and reuse any time you would like.

I have put together a collection of posts that I feel make up some of the fundamental elements of guitar playing. While you can improve your playing by working through any of the posts in this blog, these posts in particular have important information and fundamental concepts and techniques.
