Some people are born with a particular skill while others may strive lifelong to master that skill. We all need to adapt to the life’s changing requirements, learn new things, cultivate new habits, develop new relations or learn new skills. In fact, the list is quite long…. Thus, we keep learning some or the other new thing during each single day in our life time. Sometimes we feel that it is too late to learn, considering our age, our job profiles (you might be a very senior level executive, which may require you to travel a lot), our health condition, or our priorities, each of which dictates what we do and how we do it. But for those who have been suppressing a lifelong desire of learning to play the guitar, there are wonderful resources available online, using which you can fulfill your long cherished dream of learning to play this wonderful instrument. The best and most comprehensive one among them all is Learn and Master Guitar with Steve Krenz.

The Guitar Topics Covered
The Steve Krenz Learn and Master Guitar program covers a wide range of topics for people of all skill levels and age groups. While very elementary topics are taught for beginners (such as – familiarization with the different parts of a guitar and their individual roles, correct posture, tuning the guitar, correct right and left hand positioning and movement techniques, reading music and guitar tabs, understanding chord diagrams, chord formulas and abbreviations, exercises for improving finger agility and strength, etc), slightly higher level topics are taught for the intermediate level students, such as – introduction to basic chords (major and minor), chord progressions, learning basic strumming patterns, strumming techniques, strumming exercises and rhythm exercises, ear training techniques and exercises, understanding and recognizing scales (major, minor and pentasonic scales), etc. However, for the advanced level students, the teaching grows more complex because more advanced level topics are taught, such as the introduction to advanced chords, Barre Chords, learning finger style technique and exercises, chord substitution for major and minor chords, altered chords, etc.

The Guitar Techniques Covered
In addition to developing ear-training skills, chord transitions, strumming techniques, scale recognition, soloing techniques, etc., this program also covers a wide range of advanced techniques such as tapping, bending, sliding, palm muting, hammer-ons, pull-offs, distortion effects, tremolo-picking, vibrato, natural harmonic, pinch harmonic, etc. The large number of free guitar licks provided with this program, allow you to implement what ever techniques you have learnt.

The Guitar Styles Covered
Steve Krenz also teaches several styles of guitar playing such as acoustic guitar, electric guitar, rock guitar, classical and finger style guitar, blues guitar, jazz guitar, country guitar, chicken picken style, funk guitar, etc. There are several guitar licks provided with this program, that allow you to practice each of these styles.

Guitar Mistakes Identification and Rectification When you practice along with the instructor during the workshop period, after each particular lesson, you get to know your weak picks when you match what you play with that of the instructor. The close up shots of the instructor’s hands and fingers facilitates more accurate learning and you learn nothing but the most perfect manner of playing the instrument.
