With more free time on your hands and nowhere to go why not dust of your guitar and emerge from quarantine a serial shredder.

There are loads of great resources online for everything from learning your first chord to fingertapping ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ at 200 BPM. There are two we want to point your attention to that are equally great resources in different ways.

The first is Fender Play. It’s an interactive app from the guitar-making legends and shows you how to play songs on guitar, bass and if you wish – ukulele. The interactive app is full of video lessons to guide you through, song tabs for reading and playing with, even backing tracks to play songs along with once you’ve learnt.

The app makes learning guitar interactive with progression levels to reach and goals to achieve with each lesson. To keep everyone learning whilst we’re stuck at home Fender are offering 3 months of free online lessons for the first 500,000 people who sign up so don’t delay and sign up today:
