Start here — your first song
Hey, The idea here is simple: you learn by playing, not by watching. So First Steps gets you doing exactly that. What you've got here, free: → Introduction — hold, tune, clean sound → E-Ride — your first real song, start to finish Work through those. No rush, no shortcuts. Once E-Ride feels good under your fingers, you've proven you can do this. Where it goes from there:→ Complete Path picks up with Ode to Joy, powerchords, and on through riffs you already know — Day Tripper, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Wish You Were Here. 12 lessons, each one a real song. For now — get E-Ride down. Tell me below how it's going. — Alex

Welcome to Alex Guitar Studio
Hey, Glad you're here. I built this place for people who actually want to play guitar — not just watch lessons about it. Where to start: → Classroom → First Steps → Introduction. Work through it. No rush, no shortcuts. → Then Lesson 1: E-Ride — your first real song. → Say hi in Introductions — tell us where you're playing from and what made you want to learn. A few practical notes: You can comment on any post from day one. Posting your own threads opens up after a bit of engagement — keeps things tidy. Skool's default email notifications are a lot, so adjust them under your profile menu (top right) → Settings → Notifications. The free course gets you playing your first song. If you want the full path — all 12 lessons, weekly new songs, monthly live Q&A — that's the Premium tier. Questions? Comments work for now. Once you can post, head to the Questions category. See you inside. — Alex

E Ride play-along – test
Quick test for everyone working on E Ride: https://alex-gtr-player.netlify.app/player How it works: hit play, and the fretboard shows you each note as it comes. The tempo control is the important part – set it to whatever speed you can play the riff cleanly, then bump it up a little at a time. You can also jump to a specific bar and loop it. Tabs aren't in there yet, and a count in but they're coming. And I'm working on getting the other lessons in as well, but that might take a minute. If something feels off or doesn't work on your device, let me know here.
Foundations — Feedback
This is the place for anything you notice in the foundations lessons. Skool doesn't allow comments under the videos themselves, so this thread does that job. How to make it useful: • Start with the lesson name, so I know where to look. • Good and bad both count. Small things too — a cut-off sentence, guitar louder than my voice, a fret buzz. That's exactly the stuff I can't hear myself anymore. • Sound and video are fair game, not just the teaching. When something's fixable, I'll fix it and re-upload — usually the same day — and reply here so you know it's done. Anything you'd rather not post publicly: DM me.
