Play it, slowed down
Chords show just before you need them. Save your progress after, if you like it.
Lessons, inside the songs
No video course to sit through.
Each lesson is one chord or one change, taught in a minute and then played in a song you picked. Already playing? Set lists, key and capo changes, stand mode and the fretboard (notes, chords, scales, CAGED) are all free.
Guides, free to read
