STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS 

STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS 

Hello Darius, I took your advice from the webinar in which you suggested we learn a new song on Sunday’s. It was tremendously fun and rewarding! I started learning “If it makes you happy” by Sheryl Crow and although it was a bit difficult for me, a beginner, it was not time wasted. In the past, I have never learned any songs.

I have been doing skill-building exercises for the past two weeks since becoming one of your online students.

After years of wishing I could play the guitar I’m finally doing it!!! I owe it all to Guitar Couch and specifically to you, Darius. Thank you!

Hi Darius, I have just finished the Beginners Course level 2. I would just like to thank you for the way you created these lessons. They are structured in a way that allows me to go back and visit each individual lesson as many times as I need to really understand and grasp them at my own pace! This is important as I have the most unstructured working week!

The very relaxed teaching style you have removes any pressure to keep up! I learn at my speed! You made me realise that learning can be fun and we all need time to enjoy learning and laughing at our mistakes! Thank You!

This website is perfect for anyone who wants to learn the guitar at their own pace. I dip in and out when I have time, the course is motivating, inspiring and is the most comprehensive beginner guitar course that I have seen online.

I have been a member right from the start and two years later am still here, growing and enjoying every second.

Jo

I have been looking around your website discovering new things to learn. Fantastic. Best value going imo!

I’m going to continue with the master course but also add barre chords and strumming secrets to my learning routine along with a different song choice each week.

Thank you so much for all of your hard efforts in producing a great site.

I am so impressed! For now, I think this is even better for me than private face to face lessons because in person I was uncomfortably self conscious.

But doing the lessons with Darius,…if I have to go over something 10 times…then I just go over it 10 times without feeling stupid. And this ‘system’ makes sense to me. I have an orderly mind and the step by step approach where I can take however much time I need is perfect! Thanks so much Darius!

FOUNDATION GUITAR COURSE | Level 1  

This foundation course is a perfect place to get familiar with the basics. We won’t be playing anything yet, but it is still an essential module in which we lay some solid foundations that will pay off in the future.

I want you to get into the habit of following the lessons thoroughly. The videos and the descriptions under them are here to build a broad knowledge of the guitar and musical concepts. Many times, the text under the videos expands on some knowledge beyond what was covered in the videos.

Please don't rush through the lessons! I would imagine that you take time and really study every single lesson in depth. It is not about marking the lessons done and progressing through the content quickly. It is about getting real benefits by becoming my student and following a specific path and that path is not about rushing through.

Some of the lessons will have more than one video. If that is the case, you will see a blue notification box telling you that. Sometimes you will be asked to take a quiz, so enjoy it and remember that you can take it as many times as you want – no pressure, enjoy it :-)

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • How the acoustic and electric guitar is built and the differences between them and which one to choose
  • How to sit with the guitar and what to pay attention to
  • How to hold a guitar pick and if you really need one
  • How to name and number guitar strings and how to tune up the guitar
  • You will also get familiar with the format of the lessons so it will be easy to follow future lessons

FOUNDATION GUITAR COURSE | Level 2  

This module is the place where we start having fun and will finally start playing the guitar. Please make sure that you know all the basics – how to sit with the guitar, how to use a guitar pick, and most importantly, how to tune up the guitar. All of these are explained in the Foundation Guitar Course | Level 1, so please make sure you are familiar with that module.

This course is structured in a progressive way, meaning you need to start with lesson one and follow every single lesson. We will start with your fretting hand and how to position the fingers on the fretboard and slowly progress through the course where I will teach you a very cool melody, three open guitar chords and the strumming pattern.

Alongside this step by step program, I will give you a lot of tips, trips and pointers so please make sure you study every single lesson from the beginning until the end.

By the end of this course, you will be introduced to your first master session. A master session is the core of the Guitar Couch system. This is where we will be able to integrate all of your knowledge with real music written and recorded especially for your level. These are like goal posts on your road to guitar mastery. It is fun and super exciting!

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • How to place your fingers on the fretboard, so the chords sound clear and are not muted
  • A super simple melody that just sounds fantastic
  • How to read and use chord diagrams
  • Three popular guitar chords A minor, C major and E minor including tips on learning more stretchy chords
  • How to strum the chords and how to arrange them into musical concepts
  • How to organise your practice session, so it is more effective
  • You will also be introduced to two Master Sessions, where you will learn songs which have been specially written for you and this course. You will also practice them to the backing track

FOUNDATION GUITAR COURSE | Level 3  

The last module in the Foundation section pushes things up to the next level. We will expand your knowledge and prepare you for some serious guitar playing! You will learn new chord shapes, new ways of strumming and some new technical approaches to the guitar.

We will update your practice routine and talk about practice efficiency and effectiveness. As you get better, you will notice that you are facing new challenges in your guitar playing so we will address this subject alongside the module.

To give you the best learning experience, I explain everything in details in the videos and lesson content, so as usual, please make sure you don't skip any material!

There will be two new master sessions which integrate all of the content of the lessons and will give you a chance to put your new knowledge into practice. One of these is a Blues Master Session where we will lay some blues foundations and practice them together with the backing track.

Please remember that this is not a sprint! Don’t aim to get through the lesson in the fastest way possible. Stay here, take a walk through the musical forest, maybe meander a little bit and enjoy the process.

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • The concept of chord voicing
  • What is an alternate picking technique and how to work on it, so it supercharges your guitar playing
  • How to spice up your chord progressions with the concept of arpeggios
  • Four new guitar shapes G, D, A and E and why three of these are super important
  • How to effectively expand your practice routine so it will give you the best results with the time you have
  • Two new Master Session songs recorded especially for you
  • What is the Blues ... and a funny story inside ... :-)

BEGINNER GUITAR COURSE | Level 1  

The beginner module will bring a new level of guitar development to your playing. As we leave the Foundation Guitar Course level, we step into more serious guitar playing territory.

You will notice that the learning curve will be a bit steeper, but it will be still within your limits. All the content is well planned, and as usual, I will give you plenty of tips on how to integrate new knowledge with what you already know. If you struggle with specific parts of the module, don’t forget, you can ask for help on the forum.

We will revisit certain concepts that we discussed in earlier modules too and apply them to the new chords that you will learn in this course. You will be surprised what you will be able to play!

This Beginner Guitar Course will start a new series of more, guitar technique-oriented lessons that will really help you get to the next level. You will learn new chords and strumming techniques, work on your picking technique and apply all of that to two new Master Sessions.

Alongside the content of the lessons, I will share some very useful tips with you, that I use with my students on my private one to one lessons.

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • What suspended chords are, and how to use them to create super cool melodic lines
  • How to improve your picking technique with a very effective cross string exercise
  • What the difference is between the major 7 and 7th chords - jazz vs a blues sound
  • How to further develop your practice routine for maximum efficiency
  • How to arrange the chords into little melodic motifs
  • How to spice up your progressions with some chord arpeggios
  • Another two new Master Sessions recorded, especially for this level

STRUMMING SECRETS SERIES | Foundation  

Welcome to the Strumming Secrets Series – a series dedicated specifically to your strumming technique. The aim of these modules is to demystify certain concepts when it comes to rhythm and strumming techniques and gives you the best tools to improve.

Strumming technique is so important, so I have decided to separate these from the Main Guitar Courses. You can think about these exercises as a series of workshops that will help you develop a great sounding strumming technique by focusing on one technical aspect of strumming at a time.

You may want to use Strumming Secrets Series alongside the main lessons and Master Sessions to give your rhythm technique a little boost. It is also something that you may add to your practice schedule.

Please remember that applying all of the information from these lessons will take time, so don’t worry if something is not working straight away. Take baby steps, and you will develop a great strumming technique :-)

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • How to work on your strumming technique
  • How to hold your guitar pick to supercharge your strumming
  • Downstrokes versus upstrokes and how to work on them
  • How to position your hand while strumming the guitar and what to pay attention to
  • The biggest reason why people give up while working on rhythm

STRUMMING SECRETS SERIES | WORKSHOP | Level 1  

Once you learn some basic chords, strumming becomes the binding element. It is the X-factor that makes chords and chord progressions sound like a song. The first workshop module in the Strumming Secret Series will focus on the basic strumming motions that we will develop into a fully ‘grown-up’ strumming pattern.

These exercises are built in a progressive way. We will break down our strumming pattern into singular motions, focusing at first, on the basics and as we go through the lessons will add to them, bit by bit. It will be fun and rewarding!

Each lesson features a workshop exercise where you will be able to apply freshly learned concepts and practise them. You can slow the exercises down or speed them up, so you can find your perfect comfortable practice spot.

Please remember to review these lessons, watch them a few times so that the knowledge can really sink in. Not everybody is born with a strong sense of rhythm, and for some of you, it can take a lot of time to develop a good strumming technique.

Alongside these exercises, I will give you plenty of tips and tricks that will skyrocket your strumming technique.

BY THE END OF THIS MODULE, YOU WILL KNOW:

  • How to practice your rhythm so you can develop a good strumming technique​
  • How to develop a natural-sounding strumming​
  • Two very useful rhythm patterns that you can apply to most popular songs​
  • The one tool that will make you a strumming expert​
  • How to work on the chord transitions so you can change the chords easily and smoothly​
