About the show

The Learn Guitar podcast from the National Guitar Academy will make you a better guitarist by teaching you our best guitar tips and secrets for rapid progress.

We SIMPLIFY the guitar world so you can make music and have fun as quickly as possible.

We discuss chords and chord technique, we share lead guitar secrets, we tell you how to sound more rhythmic and musical and we also teach you music theory.

‘Lead Lines’ is the part of the show when we discuss lead guitar techniques, scales, riffs, solos and secondary guitar techniques.

‘Quick Chords’ is the part of the show when we discuss chords & chord technique.

‘Tips & Advice’ is the part of the show when we answer your questions about guitar & music culture. If you’ve got a question for us please email us at “[email protected]” and we’ll try our best to help you out.

‘Rhythm Section’ is the part of the show when we discuss how to boost your rhythmic ability to make your guitar playing sound more musical.

‘Theory Tips’ is the part of the show when we share some bite-sized music theory tips.

‘One Last Thing’ is the part of the show when we leave you with a parting gift; something randomly cool or interesting about music or guitar culture.

Bonus Packs

For each podcast we create a ‘bonus pack’ that expands on what we’ve discussed in the episode.

Each bonus pack includes video lessons, diagrams, chordboxes and practice materials, that build on the things we’ve discussed in the podcast.

(There's only so much we can explain through audio. Sometimes it's easier to SHOW you stuff and that's when the bonus packs come in handy.)
