From your first chord to your first George Strait song.
Seven lessons, three open chords, three transitions, and a song you can actually play all the way through. No ads, no autoplay recommendations. Just a curated track from a working bass guitarist who's tutored beginners for years.
Two takes of Amarillo by Morning. Same song, two reels. Your soundtrack for the next few weeks. That's where this course is taking you.

Right now this might look impossible. That's the point. Seven lessons from now this is you, start to finish, no rewinds.
You'll learn one song first: The Cowboy Rides Away. Send a tape, get the green light, then this one unlocks.

Hi. I'm Jerry, a professional bass guitarist. I've played jazz concerts at Swarthmore and gigs across NYC. Before I moved to the US, I tutored bass and piano students one-on-one back in Nigeria. So when I say I picked the videos on this site, I mean I sat with every one of them with the eye of somebody who's actually put a chord under a beginner's fingers and watched them get it.
This is an accelerated path to playing your first country music song. Skip the rabbit holes; play The Cowboy Rides Away by week two if you put in 15 minutes a day.
There are thousands of beginner guitar videos online. Most of them assume you already know things you don't. The ones here are the ones I'd hand a student. Clear, in the right order, no surprise prerequisites buried halfway through, nothing that wastes your first hour with a guitar in your hand.
Three open chords, three transitions, and a real country song you can actually play. No interruptions, no “watch this next” algorithm, no ad breaks in the middle of a strumming pattern.
