I am worried that I wont be able to move past the hurdle of being able to read music. It is encouraging to read post from others.


As a beginner you will want to start with Guitar Fundamentals 1 & 2. I haven't seen the remake of those courses but the versions I went through required zero music reading skills.

Have at it and have fun!!
