Start Learning Guitar With Confidence

Learning from random YouTube videos can feel scattered. The Beginner Guitar Starter Kit gives you practical lessons in the right order, with no heavy music theory, so you can go from your first chord to your first full song.

Hi! I'm Thomas Jared

I’ve been playing guitar for over 15 years, and like a lot of players, I learned most of it from YouTube, one scattered video at a time. It worked eventually, but it took far longer than it needed to.

I’ve also spent more than 15 years producing award-winning educational video courses, so I know how to break a skill into clear, simple steps. This course combines both: the practical lessons I wish I’d had when I started, in the right order, with no heavy music theory.
