Grab your guitar and follow along as Eric teaches longtime friend and non-musician David how to play guitar. Designed to help you to learn how to play guitar at your own pace, without pretention.
Did you think David would play notes well the first time? You would be wrong. In this episode, our heroes discuss notes, posture, and ergonomics. Can David learn how to strum a note, chord, or harmony? Or will it sound terrible? The answer is yes to both, but you could find out more in this episode of ABtM!
Join out heroes as Eric teaches David basic guitar anatomy. Will Eric be able to help bridge David's knowledge? And what exactly is a "Machine Head" that isn't a band or a song?
Wait are those connected
