Course overview
Rhythm Guitar I Course
This course continues where “Introduction to Guitar Playing” left off and addresses the needs of new guitar players like you for the guitar fundamentals. Rhythm Guitar I begins by helping you learn & practice concepts like strumming, fingerpicking, playing chords, reading chord diagrams, playing barre chords, and more.
Once you have mastered these skills, you’ll be able to understand how to approach learning new songs through theory concepts like reading TABs and chord charts, vocalizing rhythm patterns, and many more techniques. By the end of the course, you will have learned countless rhythm guitar techniques that will allow you to pick up new songs across a wide range of genres, all on your own.
Once you are done with this course, move on to Rhythm Guitar 2 to learn more.

Liberty Park Music (LPM) is an online music school. We teach music through videos and supporting materials like homework assignments and backing tracks. Currently, we offer lessons on piano, guitar, drums, and music theory. We will introduce more instruments, subjects, and services in the future to give you even more choices.
All you need is a computer or a mobile device that allows web browsing. With a reasonably stable and fast internet connection, your viewing experience is optimized on your desktops, laptops, or tablets.
We are constantly producing and publishing new lessons, about one new module each month, for every instrument and subject. So you always have new materials to work on.
Your membership, regardless of of your plan, should give you access to the entire library of lessons. That means ALL lessons are available to you, across instruments, styles, levels, and subjects. For example, you can take piano and theory lessons at the same time, or if you have a good musical appetite, take our piano and drum kit lessons at the same time! It's your choice.
Yes. Learning music online may seem novel to you, but if we can learn a language and other skills online, why not music?

You can pause when you need a moment to digest the lesson or rewind to view a particular section again.
