If you've always wanted to learn how to play guitar — or even started once
or twice in the past only to put it down in frustration — TrueFire's
Freshman Series is likely the perfect approach for you. Freshman Series
courses are jump-start methods designed to get you up and strumming quickly
without having to work through tedious theory, scales and exercises. In
fact, you'll be strumming chords, picking riffs and playing songs within the
first week of working with any of the courses in this series.
Freshman Series courses are tailored specifically for adults who don't have
the time or desire for formal training. To get you on the fast track, we've
deliberately steered clear of music theory, reading notation, exercises and
scales (there’s plenty of time for all that good stuff later). Instead,
you'll dig in immediately learning chords, strumming, single note lines and
how to work with song books, lyric sheets, tab and chord symbols.
Acoustic Guitar for Beginners
 Your
extremely capable guide to the world of acoustic guitar is Rich Maloof. Rich
wastes no time getting you going. You'll be fingering great-sounding chords
right from the very first lesson. A few short lessons later you’ll have a
grip on a dozen more chord shapes and be able to strum them in rhythm.
You'll quickly learn how to switch between chords smoothly, learn new chords
on your own and keep a steady beat. On-screen chord diagrams and beat
counters keep you on track and there’s even a bank of lessons on
troubleshooting to help you get past the muted notes, tuning problems and
general awkwardness that typically trip up newcomers. Best of all, Maloof
shows you how to decode and simplify any songbook so you can play hundreds
of your favorite songs.

Blues Guitar for Beginners
 Longtime
TrueFire instructor and blues maven David Hamburger is your blues guitar
guru. Hamburger starts from scratch, teaching you how to tune, how to hold
the pick and how to play your first bluesy notes. David explains every step
and breaks each example down so you know exactly what to play and how to
play it. He shows you how to strum with downstrokes and upstrokes, how to
pick in time and how to get your chords to sound clean, while teaching you a
variety of chord progressions and blues-based single-note riffs. On-screen
chord diagrams and beat counters help you to stay on track, and jam tracks
for each lesson make practicing fun – just play along with David and the
practice rhythm tracks. By the end of the course you’ll be able to play
rhythm and lead guitar parts for the Chicago shuffle, Texas shuffle,
eight-bar blues, shuffle boogie and even a little 50s R&B.

step and breaks each example down so you know exactly what to play and how
to play it. He shows you how to strum and pick in time, how to get your
chords to sound clean, while teaching you a variety of rock chord
progressions and riffs. On-screen chord diagrams and beat counters help you
to stay on track, and jam tracks for each lesson make practicing fun – just
play along with Trey and the practice rhythm tracks. By the end of the
course you’ll be able to play power chords, rock rhythms, solos and a
variety of rock grooves that you can jam and improvise over.
