How to Play Beginner Lead Guitar in TEN BASIC MOVES!

Learning how to play beginner lead guitar is a matter of mastering some simple movements and combining them to form more complex phrases. In this beginner lead guitar lesson, we'll boil everything down to TEN BASIC MOVES!

✅ NOTE: MY GUITAR IS TUNED DOWN 1/2 STEP - This was not intentional, but rather a mistake - sorry for any confusion! You can either tune your guitar down 1/2 step to match me or simply play the examples one fret lower.

✅ ACCOMPANYING TEXT: Even though the video says that there is accompanying text on the website, the site has changed and the text is gone. If you want a pdf of the ten lead guitar moves, just email me a request at [email protected] and I"ll send it to you.
