The guitar learning path aims to cover everything you need to become a well-rounded guitarist. It includes a vast range of musical styles and playing techniques, and equips you with skills to tackle any specialization you wish to play. The path guides you step by step, but also lets you focus on what's important for you.
Missions
You move through the learning path by completing tasks in the missions. Missions can include songs, video tutorials and trainers, that teach you the skills covered in the mission. Each mission has its own theme to help you identify your favorite topics. The path is unlocked, so you are free to explore it. You can skip to any mission you want to play, and focus on specific skills. You can also skip tasks within a mission. Bear in mind though, that you need to play each task within a mission to complete it.
