Guitar Essentials with Nick

Learn the chords to play your favorite songs and turn yourself from a music lover into a musician.

Welcome! I’m Nick, and even though I’ve taught thousands of students, earned a master’s degree in music composition, and recorded & performed all over the world, the foundation of everything I know about music and being a musician came from how I learned to play guitar: through chords.

Learning simple chords helped me to:

1. Quickly play the songs I loved

2. Gain confidence (so I didn’t lose momentum)

3. Begin to understand the building blocks of music

4. Get the skills I needed to play in public with others...

Whether you’re looking to start a life-long career as a musician, or just want to pick up a new skill — or anything in between — the place to start is learning a solid foundation, rooted in basic chords, with me.

In these 8 lessons, you’ll learn:

• All the essential building-block chords every guitarist needs

• Easy tips for practicing, posture, strumming, expression and musicianship, and more

• Chord-by-chord, exactly how to play 17 classic and current songs

• The Ultimate Chord Progression that unlocks almost any pop tune

PLUS, I’m including some bonus videos about playing in public, creating your own “original covers,” and how to stay motivated and keep up your momentum, no matter what.

Each lesson covers a lot of ground, so take your time with it. Use each lesson as the basis for your practice for at least one week for best results.
