Hi, how you're you doing? Justin Sandercoe here.[br]Welcome to my intermediate guitar method.

0:00:23.692,0:00:29.399
Now the way I've organised the lessons for this[br]intermediate course is into 5 foundation levels,

0:00:29.399,0:00:32.290
which will lead into style modules.

0:00:32.290,0:00:36.717
Now the reason I've done like this,[br]is that not everyone wants to learn every different style.

0:00:36.717,0:00:39.285
So this way in the 5 foundation stages,

0:00:39.285,0:00:43.226
we're going to cover all of the technical[br]and theoretical and practical elements

0:00:43.226,0:00:47.120
that you need, in order to apply them to the style modules

0:00:47.120,0:00:50.882
where you can choose the different styles[br]that you want to learn.

0:00:50.882,0:00:54.513
Now the things that we're going to cover[br]in this foundation level is:

0:00:54.513,0:00:58.058
E-shape and A-shape barre chords, triads,

0:00:58.058,0:01:04.521
one position of the major scale, the blues scale,[br]a hybrid blues scale, the major pentatonic,

0:01:04.534,0:01:10.342
basic 16th note strumming, notes on the fingerboard,[br]playing with a metronome...

0:01:10.342,0:01:14.592
Sorry, I'm having to read off my little list of stuff[br]because I can't remember all of the things.

0:01:14.592,0:01:18.422
We're going to be doing lots of transcribing,[br]working out chord progressions,

0:01:18.422,0:01:24.704
working out melodies, like lead lines,[br]rythmic dictation, bit of note reading,

0:01:24.704,0:01:28.928
learning to read notes in the open position,[br]which is a really, really important skill.

0:01:28.928,0:01:34.209
Controlling string noise, minimum movement,[br]playing with the metronome, string bending,

0:01:34.209,0:01:37.632
and probably a whole lot more stuff that my eyes[br]have glazed over on my little list here.

0:01:37.632,0:01:40.477
So there is a whole lot of things[br]that we're going to cover.

0:01:40.477,0:01:43.562
Now the idea here:[br]each one of this different modules,

0:01:43.562,0:01:46.349
like foundation 1, foundation 2,[br]is going to take a while.

0:01:46.349,0:01:50.858
It's not like the begginer's course,[br]where each one could be kind of done in a couple of weeks.

0:01:50.858,0:01:55.811
Most of these I would suspect is going to be[br]kind of a month long to get all the stuff done,

0:01:55.811,0:01:59.420
because there's a whole lot of information[br]in each different level.

0:01:59.420,0:02:02.363
So really make sure that you've mastered properly,[br]the things,

0:02:02.363,0:02:06.202
And there is a little kind of a goals list[br]on the practise schedule for each level.

0:02:06.202,0:02:08.567
There is some goals that I think[br]that you should try to achieve

0:02:08.567,0:02:11.208
before you move onto the next stage.

0:02:11.208,0:02:15.133
Now having completed all five,[br]there is a consolidation lesson

0:02:15.133,0:02:17.771
where we go through and make sure[br]that you've got all your stuff done.

0:02:17.771,0:02:20.751
And then you let loose onto the style modules,

0:02:20.751,0:02:26.457
where you're going to apply all of your new found skills[br]to whatever styles that you fancy choosing.

0:02:26.457,0:02:31.312
So I really hope you enjoy the course[br]and I'll see you for your lessons real soon.
