Anyone Can Play Guitar is back with a whole new look, a new guitar teacher, and 6 new lessons—one each Monday until the middle of January.
Today we’ll learn the names of the notes on the fretboard, and review some chord transitions. Plus, you’ll learn the chorus from “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones.
Other lessons we’ve got coming your way this time around: bar chords, 12-bar blues, and, of course, new songs, including “Jingle Bells”—just in time for the holidays.
As always, you can hit our YouTube page for “high quality” video (look for the link under the screen) or just watch it here. If you missed our older lessons, check them out below. And don’t forget to drop a comment if you’ve got an idea of other things you want us to cover in future lessons.

Great lesson. Moving one finger at a time… once again I need more practice. I hope Jingle bells is next week so I can practice in time for Christmas…. listing the fret notes in corner would be helpful for the fret review… I am still not sure I get the progression

If you want to learn how to play bass guitar free, then you are in the right place. Learning how to play the bass guitar is actually much simpler than a lot of the other musical instruments. If you are a beginner, it is best to start learning one note at a time. By doing it this way, you will be sure to learn each note correctly.
