I learned the 12-bar blues but never really understood how to apply them to my playing. I assume that these small lessons are building blocks to actually playing real songs. Perhaps Anders or another instructor could elaborate a bit more on this? Thank you, Tom

Hey & welcome.  Glad you are enjoying GT.


I'm assuming you are working through the Guitar Fundamentals course.  Yes, you have the right idea.  The course contains the basic ideas & skills, all the elements, you will need to start learning songs.  At any point in your learning you should look for songs to learn and play that are at your current skill level.


That's what the Made Easy collection is for.

And you can also ask Anders directly in his instructor forum.
