The Path to
Musical Mastery.
At Fret & Forge Guild, we don't just teach chords. We build the foundation of your artistic identity. Our structured curriculum is designed to take the absolute beginner through a transformative journey of theory, technique, and performance.
Curriculum Designed for Beginners
Ever wondered why some players stall after a few months? It's usually the foundation.
Level 1: The Fundamentals
Your first 12 weeks are critical. We focus on the precision of rhythm and the architecture of basic chords. You'll master the pentatonic basics and gain the muscular endurance needed for fluid play.
- Proper posture and fret-hand ergonomics
- Essential strumming patterns in 4/4 and 3/4
- The 'Big Six' open chords every player needs
Level 2: Melody & Motion
Transition from rhythmic support to lead phrasing. Here, we introduce the major and minor scales, teaching you how to navigate the neck with intent.
The 'Why' Factor
Introductory music theory isn't boring; it's the map. We integrate the 'why' behind every lesson so you aren't just memorizing—you're understanding.
