Foundations is a beginner guitar theory course, introducing the core concepts of music theory, tailored to the guitar. You will gain an understanding of how music works, through getting to know chords, scales, key, and other fundamental concepts. You’ll also learn how to apply these principles to the guitar.

You’ll start by building an understanding of the 12 notes in Western music, and how the relationships between them underpin all of the incredible music you love. By boiling guitar theory down to its absolute fundamentals, and then building on those strong foundations, you will accelerate your progress on guitar and finally break free from playing the same songs on repeat.

Instead of just playing songs, you’ll be able to create your own music, develop your own style and sound, and open up a world of creativity. Foundations teaches you how to do this with harmonic analysis – taking a song, figuring out why it sounds good, and then using that to create something original and unique to you.

Our trademarked Harmonic Alignment Engine™ is a powerful tool designed to help you understand any song quickly and practically, which you’ll get lifetime access to with this course. Foundations shows you how to use it in the most effective way to be able to analyse and understand music.
