My main musical roots spring forth from the American music traditions of Folk, Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Pop. Even if you want to play electric guitar and use a plectrum (pick) and/or experiment with open tunings and use a capo, it's good to have a basic finger-picking strum technique. So here are some free lessons to start with.
