Congratulations - you completed Module 12! 🙌

It's time to set up a new practice schedule.

Make sure you tweak the recommended practice schedule so that it fits your needs! Remember - we all have different struggles. :) Some people will find power chords really simple and find the A minor chord tricky to learn. Others might experience the opposite. So always focus on what challenges you the most - that way, you can effectively develop your guitar skills.

To optimize your practice sessions, enter your practice elements with My Practice Assistant. This way - you'll be able to track your progress and switch up your sessions accordingly. Look forward to practicing! Music should be fun. We play guitar one our previous spare time, so it's important to enjoy it! 😊

💡 Use the pre-made practice routine for Module 12. Click on the 'Practice' Tab under the video, and save the routine. Edit and access the items in your Dashboard.

When To Move On?

Well, now we're into tricky territory! Even if you don't love rock, these are all valuable skills for many other music genres! There's loads of good stuff to learn here, which will help you later on.

So - take your time, be patient and learn a few songs. Focus on getting comfortable with power chords. You'll get there by playing songs or practicing exercises - whatever is best for you! Power chords will make your life a lot easier when you get into barre chords.

You'll be ready to move when you:

Memorize the notes on the thickest two strings.
Play R6 and R5 Power Chord shapes. Mute the unwanted strings effectively.
Explored Palm Muting.
Memorized the A Minor Pentatonic Scale.
Had a go at Metallica's Enter Sandman riff.
Learned at least a couple of songs using Power Chords!
The next lesson is all about Blues - so it might also help to do a bit of listening to some great Blues Tracks! (my Spotify playlist).

So - I hope you enjoyed this module and let your inner rocker shine! Next module, you'll get your first introduction to blues guitar! Exciting stuff ahead - see you soon :)
