I’m right about the time where I fall into hold habits and stop practicing my guitar. But I glanced at this app and got back to it. Thanks app!

In this video, I break down the form of the song while playing the bass line on a Spanish classical guitar. If you’re just starting to figure out a song, remember that you don’t need to play every note or focus on the exact note names right away—just listen and find the sounds on the neck of the guitar. For the most part, this song follows a repeating chord and bass pattern, with one shift where the chord progression starts on F instead of C, as it does in the beginning. The main goal of this video is to help you understand the form of the song—the way the chords change and flow. Before getting into the details of specific chords and bass notes, it’s essential to grasp the overall structure of the music, melody, rhythm, and meter. Focus on getting a sense of the complete song from start to finish. That’s the key starting point when learning any song—understanding its form.

Of all the guitar teachers I’ve explored online, I personally feel this guy stands out as the best. There are a couple of others I like for quick-start lessons, like learning basic chords and scales, but what sets him apart is his depth and teaching style. The one challenge I faced early on was that I downloaded too much material and got overwhelmed. So, if you’re just starting out, I highly recommend taking your time with his lessons, and not rushing to absorb everything at once. In addition to his content, I’ll also be posting simple, beginner-friendly guitar lessons for anyone interested in learning how to read treble clef. I truly believe that learning to read music is just as valuable as learning a new language. It gives you a deeper, more meaningful connection with music. Plus, once you understand music theory, you won’t have to rely on shortcuts like tablature as much. While many guitar and bass players rely on these shortcuts, taking the time to learn how to read music can eliminate the need for them. If you’re willing to commit to learning to read basic guitar music over the next three months, it will be invaluable to your playing for life. That said, not everyone needs to learn to read music to be a great guitarist—some of the greatest players didn’t. However, if you choose not to, expect to invest more time and energy into developing your ear for music. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLho65cYn4nF1FXo8IWbKUb9_k0pMhgbtr&si=QDrfvnuhccl5V86k
