Mark begins these electric guitar lessons with the assumption that you areĀ  new to the electric guitar. Before he dives into playing techniques, he explains essential information such as guitar and amplifier anatomy as well as the tuning process. Continuing these electric guitar lessons, Mark will explore basics such as proper right-hand and left-hand technique. You will learn how to hold the pick and the electric guitar properly. Once you have mastered basic technique, Mark will teach the essential components of music such as scales and chords. These fundamentals will be applied to rhythm and lead guitar in the rock and roll style.

Specific rock and roll guitar techniques such as power chords and the minor pentatonic scale will be covered later in the electric guitar lessons. This scale will be used to compose and improvise your own guitar solos. As he continues to explore rock guitar techniques, Mark will teach some simple rock songs that involve these important elements.
