Guitarist and guitar teacher at
Optimum Guitar School Online

Here you learn guitar from the start. Step by step you are guided through a course that will take you from the beginning to an advanced level.

The lessons are divided in levels, courses, with 10 lessons in each level. Each lesson is based on a piece, a study. The first course is already recorded and uploaded here on the website. The second course is being recorded right now.

In the first course you play simple melodies with the thumb on the bass strings. You also learn to play chords and strum them. In the second course you start to play with your fingers on the treble strings. In the third course you combine the thumb and the fingers to play classical pieces and plucked accompaniments.

In the videos on Optimum Guitar School you see other guitar students playing the exercises and studies and learn along with them.

The lessons are suitable for all ages, children can start playing with some help of their parents as soon as they are able to press the strings with their left hand.

Take your time with each lesson to get the technique right. I recommend that you focus on one lesson and study per week.

Children who are able to hold the guitar but still not press the strings with their left hand can start with the children's course.

In this course the child plays the bass notes to children's songs on open strings. The songs are Swedish but the child doesn't need to know any Swedish to take the course.
