Once students have demonstrated the ability to play single notes clearly, they will begin learning basic chords. Students will develop skills switching between chords and playing along with rudimentary songs. Afterwards, students will learn scales of notes, an essential building block for developing lead riffs.

Guitar tablature is somewhat similar to sheet music. However, instead of translating notes and tempo, tablatures give finger positioning on the fretboard. This allows students to play ANY song transcribed.
