Self-Contained Guitar is an online group class that is taught by

Alex Gordon.  There are 6 one-hour class sessions that meet weekly.  

Every class is recorded and each student has access to the video for reference.

There are over 60 PDFs included with Module 1.

Self-Contained Guitar - Module 1  is currently available and includes:

  • Week 1 - Notes / Fretboard / Major Scale Introduction

  • Week 2 - Playing Major Scale / Fingerpicking Introduction

  • Week 3 - Creating Chords (Triads, Barre Chords)

  • Week 4 - Bass Line Introduction / Minor Triads

  • Week 5 - Harmonized Major Scale

  • Week 6 - Reading A Chord Chart 

Self-Contained Guitar is exactly what it sounds like - a solo fingerstyle method of playing the guitar that doesn't require any other instruments for support or accompaniment AND it doesn't use any newfangled loop pedals or canned backing tracks either!  You can learn how to play chords, melodies, bass lines, and percussion parts all at the same time, on one single guitar,
LIVE and in the moment.

Baritonic Guitar is essentially the same as Self-Contained Guitar, however, it uses a baritone guitar for study.  A baritone guitar is longer in scale (anywhere from 27" to 30" in scale length) than a regular guitar and so it naturally lends itself to a wonderfully deeper overall sound.  Baritonic Guitar, as I implement and teach it, employs a B-E-A-D-F#-B tuning and therefore has a completely different fretboard map than the Self-Contained Guitar modules.  

No matter which course you choose, you can become an accomplished solo guitarist with a comprehensive and rewarding knowledge of the instrument. So whether you study Self-Contained Guitar or Baritonic Guitar

you WILL be a musical force to be reckoned with, indeed! 

PLEASE NOTE!!

These courses are intended for guitarists with at least ONE YEAR of serious playing experience.  A definitive amount of dexterity, flexibility, and hand strength is required

to make an effective attempt at these methods of study.
