Whether you’re a total beginner or someone looking to explore music production with real instruments, this hands-on course guides you through every step — from strumming your first chord to mixing your final track using BandLab, a powerful and free digital audio workstation (DAW).

This course is perfect for aspiring music creators who want to learn how to play the guitar and produce complete songs using a simple home setup.

You’ll gain practical skills in acoustic guitar fundamentals, including essential chord shapes, strumming patterns, and rhythm techniques — all of which will serve as the musical foundation for your own original compositions. Combine your guitar recordings with vocals, loops, and digital instruments to create a complete, professional-sounding track right from your laptop or mobile device.

• Playing basic guitar chords, strumming patterns, and simple fingerpicking

• Recording your guitar and vocals using BandLab on desktop or mobile

• Core music theory: tempo, rhythm, and chord progressions

• Layering sounds to create engaging song structures

• Enhancing tracks with audio effects like reverb, EQ, and delay

• Arranging, mixing, and polishing your recordings into a full composition

• Understanding basic copyright and licensing when using loops and samples

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have the confidence to perform, record, and produce your own music.
