Learn how to write chord progressions on guitar (electric or acoustic) in a major key with composer Jason Rivera.

This course features detailed explanations and demonstrations on the guitar. You will learn techniques and concepts that can be applied to writing music in many genres.

The main topics covered in this class are:

This class is for musicians, songwriters, composers and hobbyists who want to expand their knowledge of how to write music using a guitar.

The course is designed for beginners. It’s helpful if you have some experience playing basic guitar chords, however it’s not required.
