Good for beginners.
I'm a beginner and that's my first guitar lesson, I'm very happy with the content of this course. The only thing I don't like is that we don't have a pdf support for the various examples songs that the teacher plays along the course. And so, I was able to play them by ears, because I was already an experienced musician before taking this course, but I can see that this would be a problem for a person who starts music and guitar altogether. But for me, the course was just perfect to start with the guitar.

The notes of any solo are only half the story; the other, equally crucial element is the rhythm. Though there are leagues of books teaching you the scales, modes, and arpeggios that are used when soloing, there's been a great void in the available material with regards to teaching the concept of rhythm. We don't instinctually possess knowledge of which notes to use, so why would we instinctually know which rhythms to use when playing these notes? This is where Rhythmic Lead Guitar comes into play. In this book, you'll learn the timing of notes from the ground up, helping you to develop a solid, internal sense of rhythm that will stick with you throughout your career. You'll be armed with an intimate knowledge of a beat's anatomy, and you'll possess the tools necessary to manipulate the timing of any phrase as you see fit. With a strong command of rhythm, your solos will sound more authoritative, unique and memorable.
