0:00:06.573,0:00:12.802
Well you've done it: you've reached the end.[br]This is the last lesson in my beginners course.

0:00:12.802,0:00:16.962
I really hope you've enjoyed this journey[br]and you've probably learnt a whole lot of stuff

0:00:16.962,0:00:21.123
but you'll probably find that there are quite a few things [br]that you haven't quite mastered yet.

0:00:21.123,0:00:23.643
Now I don't know what they are.

0:00:23.643,0:00:27.145
I can kind of guess that most people struggle with this[br]or struggle with that

0:00:27.145,0:00:29.435
and try and help you out with things along the way

0:00:29.435,0:00:31.724
but when it's got to this point you need

0:00:31.724,0:00:34.244
to now look back on all of the things that we have covered

0:00:34.244,0:00:38.657
and work out what are the things [br]that you haven't mastered yet.

0:00:38.657,0:00:42.405
What I have done is on the website BC199

0:00:42.405,0:00:45.245
which is the consolidation page for the beginners course.

0:00:45.245,0:00:46.660
I've got a list of all the things

0:00:46.660,0:00:49.206
that we've covered during this course

0:00:49.206,0:00:50.874
So what you really need to do now

0:00:50.874,0:00:53.138
is to go back and look at everything

0:00:53.138,0:00:55.112
on that list and make sure you know it.

0:00:55.112,0:00:57.505
Make sure all of the chords are in your memory

0:00:57.505,0:01:00.040
They are no good if you only know them on the website

0:01:00.040,0:01:02.160
Or if you have to look them up in a chord book

0:01:02.160,0:01:04.467
You need have them in here

0:01:04.467,0:01:06.451
It's the same with the scales, same with everything

0:01:06.451,0:01:09.464
the songs included, you need to know the songs [br]all the way through

0:01:10.434,0:01:12.529
so it's a really important stage

0:01:12.529,0:01:15.683
go through make a list of all the things

0:01:15.683,0:01:18.107
that are written on the consolidation page

0:01:18.107,0:01:19.656
that you can't do.

0:01:19.656,0:01:22.198
And then write your own routine depending

0:01:22.198,0:01:24.635
on how much time you have available that

0:01:24.635,0:01:28.165
covers all those things starting with easier things

0:01:28.165,0:01:30.091
then moving on to the harder things.

0:01:30.599,0:01:32.691
Now that might take another 6 months

0:01:32.691,0:01:34.371
it might take a week or a month

0:01:34.371,0:01:36.932
I have no idea, it depends on how far

0:01:36.932,0:01:40.852
you've got with each of those elements of the course.

0:01:40.852,0:01:44.699
Different people have extremely different abilities

0:01:44.699,0:01:46.096
some people rip through one thing

0:01:46.096,0:01:47.856
and really struggle with something else.

0:01:47.856,0:01:53.381
and another person will really easily do that thing [br]the other guy found hard

0:01:53.381,0:01:56.214
One thing I've learnt as a teacher over the years is that people

0:01:56.214,0:01:59.214
really struggle with the weirdest things to me

0:01:59.214,0:02:02.080
and excel at other things.

0:02:02.080,0:02:04.058
It's freaky how different we all are

0:02:04.058,0:02:05.858
but that is maybe one of the beautiful things

0:02:05.858,0:02:07.532
about us humans as well.

0:02:07.532,0:02:11.030
So have a good go through that beginners course

0:02:11.030,0:02:13.456
consolidate the information that you've got there

0:02:13.456,0:02:16.151
and then you are ready to then to try

0:02:16.151,0:02:17.891
and progress onto other areas.

0:02:17.891,0:02:20.020
You might find that if your really enjoyed the

0:02:20.020,0:02:21.386
strumming and the rhythm stuff

0:02:21.386,0:02:22.799
you might want to check out my

0:02:22.799,0:02:25.537
Really Useful Strumming Techniques DVD

0:02:25.537,0:02:27.809
or some of the other strumming lessons that I've

0:02:27.809,0:02:29.335
got on the website, there's quite a few

0:02:29.335,0:02:32.495
different styles and techniques you can check out

0:02:32.495,0:02:35.019
If you enjoyed the lead guitar things we touched on

0:02:35.019,0:02:37.336
you might want to check out the Blues Lead Guitar course

0:02:37.336,0:02:40.548
which is available free online or as a DVD

0:02:40.548,0:02:42.497
Make sure you use that with the backing tracks

0:02:42.497,0:02:43.928
that's the secret to that.

0:02:43.928,0:02:45.897
If you really enjoyed the transcribing idea

0:02:45.897,0:02:47.415
and you've been really getting into this

0:02:47.415,0:02:49.502
J.U.S.T.I.N technique exercises then

0:02:49.502,0:02:51.655
that's the kind of thing that you want to really develop

0:02:51.655,0:02:53.203
now that you've finished the course

0:02:53.203,0:02:55.688
and transcribing as many songs as you can.

0:02:55.688,0:02:57.261
If you want help with that there is a transcribing

0:02:57.261,0:02:59.702
section on the website with song tips.

0:02:59.702,0:03:01.644
That would be a very good area of the website

0:03:01.644,0:03:03.096
for you to check out now that you've

0:03:03.096,0:03:04.456
finished your beginers course.

0:03:04.456,0:03:06.490
If you really want to do the Blues

0:03:06.490,0:03:07.863
another thing you might want to check out,

0:03:07.863,0:03:09.721
sorry for pushing all my products on you

0:03:09.721,0:03:12.503
but i also have some Solo Blues pieces

0:03:12.503,0:03:13.749
there are some for free on the site and

0:03:13.749,0:03:15.922
also some DVDs you can buy and you might find

0:03:15.922,0:03:19.064
that useful as well as a place to move onto doing.

0:03:20.402,0:03:22.116
After this first stage that you've

0:03:22.116,0:03:24.528
done now the Beginners Course you can firmly draw

0:03:24.528,0:03:26.588
a line that you have covered all of the

0:03:26.588,0:03:28.757
beginners material. I've been really careful

0:03:28.757,0:03:30.363
about the construction of this course

0:03:30.363,0:03:32.817
and I really think I've covered most of the bases

0:03:32.817,0:03:34.709
of things that I would expect a beginner guitar

0:03:34.709,0:03:37.546
player to have learnt and you'll now be on the

0:03:37.546,0:03:39.466
Intermediate journey for which there is

0:03:39.466,0:03:42.365
masses of information. You really have to decide

0:03:42.365,0:03:44.642
a little bit more now what things you want to do.

0:03:44.642,0:03:48.027
Whether you want to do Rock or Blues or Metal or lead guitar or solo or whether you

0:03:48.027,0:03:50.908
want to get a bit more into Jazzy themes or whatever

0:03:50.908,0:03:53.471
you have start specialising a little bit when it

0:03:53.471,0:03:55.379
comes to the intermediate stage, because there

0:03:55.379,0:03:58.306
is so, so many things to learn.

0:03:58.306,0:04:00.801
The one thing that I find really weird is

0:04:00.801,0:04:03.207
the more stuff I learn the more I learn that

0:04:03.207,0:04:04.660
I don't know anything at all, and there are

0:04:04.660,0:04:07.390
still millions of things left to learn, you never stop.

0:04:07.390,0:04:09.593
that's, I think one of the most beautiful things about

0:04:09.593,0:04:11.261
playing a guitar is that even when you think

0:04:11.261,0:04:13.005
you've mastered something you look over and there

0:04:13.005,0:04:14.809
is someone else doing some even crazier stuff

0:04:14.809,0:04:16.163
that you've got to learn.

0:04:16.163,0:04:18.323
Which is I reckon a really cool thing.

0:04:18.323,0:04:19.893
So I really hope you've enjoyed

0:04:19.893,0:04:22.478
this Beginners Course and I hope one day

0:04:22.478,0:04:24.383
that I get to meet you and you can give me some

0:04:24.383,0:04:26.740
suggestions. If you get stuck on anything

0:04:26.740,0:04:28.807
by the way don't forget about the forum.

0:04:28.807,0:04:30.873
Every lesson on the website has a link to

0:04:30.873,0:04:33.873
a specific topic on the forum which just

0:04:33.873,0:04:36.233
deals with that one class so if you are

0:04:36.233,0:04:38.233
getting stuck with any particular thing

0:04:38.233,0:04:40.292
whether it's 12 bar rhythm or improvising

0:04:40.292,0:04:42.133
or whatever you can go there and either get

0:04:42.133,0:04:44.674
help from me, one of the hundreds or thousands

0:04:44.674,0:04:46.754
of other people that use the forum and

0:04:46.754,0:04:49.072
you can also drop me any advice like you found

0:04:49.072,0:04:50.807
that really hard or that difficult and maybe

0:04:50.807,0:04:53.675
I can add it into the website element of this

0:04:53.675,0:04:55.350
course to help some other people.

0:04:55.350,0:04:58.276
So do feel free to drop by the forum and offer

0:04:58.276,0:04:59.978
advice and ask questions and all that.

0:04:59.978,0:05:01.664
It's a really nice community of people

0:05:01.664,0:05:04.496
So take care of yourselves and a big thank you to Jedi
