Everything you need to know before you start your online electric guitar lessons.
Yes. TrueFire's online electric guitar lessons start with the basics — the parts of the electric guitar, your first power chords and riffs, and palm muting — then build step by step toward lead playing and soloing. The lessons are self-paced video, so you can slow down, loop, and repeat anything until it clicks. No prior experience required.
Not to get started. You can practice an electric guitar unplugged, through a small practice amp, or quietly with a headphone amp or audio interface. As you progress, an amp or amp simulator helps you learn how tone, gain, and effects shape your sound.
You'll learn power chords, riffs, palm muting, bends and vibrato, hammer-ons and pull-offs, pentatonic and lead soloing, plus how to shape your tone with amps, gain, EQ, and effects pedals.
TrueFire's library includes more than 85,000 video lessons across over 2,000 courses, with a deep catalog of electric guitar courses, song lessons, and jam packs taught by leading electric guitar educators.
The electric guitar is at the heart of blues, rock, metal, funk, jazz, and fusion. TrueFire's lessons cover all of them, so you can focus on one style or explore many across every skill level.
No. TrueFire's electric guitar lessons use interactive tab and notation you can follow along with, so you can learn entirely from tab if you prefer. The video instruction shows you exactly what to play, note for note.
