The idea of the Song Learner Series is to enable you to master the guitar parts played on the original record, note for note, and as such significantly enhance your playing. In each lesson you will learn how to:

• Master the right strumming pattern for the song
• Find easy ways to play complex chords
• Get the right rhythm and pacing
• Learn the one finger “cheat” chords that the professionals use to make your playing sound smooth
• Develop great finger picking
• Plus hints, tops and techniques you can use in other songs

The Song Learner DVDs are presented by Andy Chamberlain who will be familiar to you from the Musicademy Worship Guitar Course DVDs.. Andy’s accessible teaching approach breaks each section of the song into bite-sized chunks, helps you play it through a few times and then bolts it together with the rest of the song, step-by-step so that you get each sequence into muscle memory. The Song Learner Series is designed to help you play more songs using the technical principles taught on the Musicademy Worship Guitar Course DVDs.
