Learning Guitar - Roadmap

Learning guitar in 8 levels

The roadmap for learning guitar was published some time ago in a youtube tutorial. The roadmap itself was published in a PDF file on my patreon page (see the link below for free to download).

The roadmap is just an overview of 8 levels of guitar learning divided in 9 disciplines:

  1. Rhythm
  2. Chords and harmony
  3. Scales
  4. Technique and improvisation
  5. Picking technique
  6. Arpeggios
  7. Fingerstyle
  8. Theory
  9. Music reading

The PDF file is constanly maintained and being supplemented.
