The guitar learning path aims to cover what you need to become a well-rounded guitarist. It includes a great range of musical styles and playing techniques, and equips you with skills to play them. 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. They are groups of 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. Bear in mind though, that you need to play each task within a mission to complete it.
Themes
Yousician guitar has 10 complete playing levels that are divided into themes.
- Melody, riffs and lead teach playing techniques including picking, legato, hammer & pull, bending, and speed.
- Chord and rhythm teach accompaniment. They include strumming and riffs and cover chords such as cowboy, moveable and barre chords.
