This isn't your traditional beginner guitar course. This course is for beginners who would like to learn the basics of fingerstyle guitar through Mary Spender's songs - there is no need for a certain type of instrument so you can start on either the acoustic or electric.
We’ll start by learning my songs 'Blues Duet' and 'Meet Me in Croatia' in full, plus beginner friendly versions of some of my most popular songs; ‘Primrose’ and ‘Long Island City’.
Although the songs are the best way to learn more about my right hand fingerstyle technique, I've also included "Beginner's Corner" with more information if you're very new to the guitar. I'll take you through parts of your guitar and how to hold the instrument.
You’ll also be able to learn how to read chord charts and TAB and we’ll mainly focus on learning open and barre chords as well as simple strumming and picking patterns.

About Mary Spender...

“She’s one of the most dynamic, expressive young British singer-songwriters working today - and also just happens to have an army of fans for her YouTube musings on guitar culture… Mary Spender is among the most successful of a new generation of musicians who blend music-making with shrewd, engaging commentary - sharing both with 390,000 fans via YouTube. Blending aspects of Joni Mitchell’s confessional songwriting style with a harmonically rich, percussive style on the electric guitar that’s bolder and more contemporary, she’s a galvanic and richly emotive player.”
