After you learn the basics of guitar, what should you focus on so you become a good player?
Should you study music theory? Take a guitar soloing course? Get on a plan that involves practicing exercises daily?
Nope.
After learning the basics of guitar—which should include chords—the next and most important step is playing songs.
And by playing songs I mean, strumming through entire songs and keeping in time with the music like you’re part of the band.
This is exactly what you do in Essential Skills Song Pack Bundle: Play 32 Songs Using Open Chords, Power Chords, and Barre Chords.
In this bundle, I walk you through 32 popular songs and show you how to turn your guitar chords into real music.
All the songs are simplified for beginners so you have no trouble playing along.
You focus on the most fundamental parts of songs—the main chord changes—and develop the right skills to:
- Switch between chords on time
- Control unwanted noise and pick strings accurately
- Know when a song changes to a different section
- Keep up with the pace of the music and lock in with the other instruments
- Fill space with picking and strumming that fit the feel of the music
- Finish whole songs without stopping
- Play from memory without looking at chord charts
After completing Essential Skills Song Pack Bundle, you’ll be ready to jam with other musicians without feeling embarrassed.
And you’ll sound great on guitar and play confidently whether you’re in your living room, at church, around a campfire, or out playing a paid gig to a full room.
🛑 Now, hold up for a second. Let me explain something you don’t want to miss…
You could try learning songs on your own, but that’s as good as the blind leading the blind.
You don’t want to waste countless hours scouring the Internet trying to figure out how to put the guitar-playing pieces together on your own.
Your precious time should be spent following a proven step-by-step plan that puts you on the fast track to your playing goals.
You want to know exactly which songs are best to learn so you make quick progress and don't get stuck on things that are too hard for you right now.
You want to know how to work through common snags so your playing sounds smooth and you avoid frustration.
You want things broken down into manageable steps so you know what to work on each day and you don’t get overwhelmed.
You need expert guidance only an experienced player and teacher can give you.
I know your ultimate goal. You want to be able to pick up your guitar and just play without something holding you back.
Whether your ultimate goal involves playing guitar solos, improvising, or creating your own music, you simply can’t get there without certain skills under your belt.
Playing songs is how guitarists:
- Improve their hand strength and dexterity
- Develop their rhythm and timing
- Sharpen their picking and strumming techniques
- Understand music composition and song structures
- Learn to play in different styles
If you think you can skip over the things on the list above and jump straight to riffing and jamming like the pros, you’re kidding yourself.
When you skip necessary steps in the learning process, you waste time and get nowhere.
You miss out on a lot of fun too. 🙁
You’ll feel very satisfied when you play complete songs for others and don't get nervous. You’ll feel ecstatic when you sit in with a band and hold your own like a veteran player. 🙂
I have everything planned out so these things become a reality for you. All you need to do is follow the simple steps!
And I’ll be your personal guide along the way. I’ll be available to answer your questions should you ever need help.
Get over 14 hours of guitar instruction—everything you need to be a better player, starting today—for less than you’d pay for a few hours of private guitar lessons.
With my 30-day money-back guarantee, you can try the course bundle risk-free. If it isn’t the best training you’ve ever had, return it for a complete refund.
Essential Skills Song Pack Bundle is about far more than just playing songs. It’s about getting you over that last barrier between you and all your guitar-playing goals.

“I’m really enjoying the Essential Skills Song Pack Bundle. The videos are very well done. The teaching style is outstanding. I feel like I’m actually playing with the band to some of my favorite songs—in time! This is exactly what I was hoping for. It makes me feel like an actual musician.”

“Desi fills in the gaps left by other teachers. Before, I was just gathering information. Now, I’m actually playing music. I can play through several songs beginning to end and I love it.”
- Mandy E.
"I am so amazed by everything! Desi is an excellent instructor. He teaches just what I need. Previously, I resisted learning songs. It held me back. Now, I can play complete songs. Unreal! I am improving my chords and timing. I am also making better use of my gear and effects. I had played for a while but it wasn’t until this course that I felt like I was accomplishing something. I find myself reviewing the songs in my head when I’m away. I never thought I could do that."
- Michael M.
“I have to confess that I'm an online guitar lesson junkie. I must have tried hundreds of lessons with the hope of trying to understand how to play guitar for real and in the style of my favorite songs. Despite spending a lot of time and money, I only ended up frustrated.
The thing that tripped me up was the lack of attention to detail with most lessons. Instructors would always leave out critical information, whether it had to do with technique, timing, or other nuances of playing. I eventually gave up my dream of being a guitarist and lost my joy for the instrument.
But, everything changed when I stumbled upon Desi Serna. All I can say is—WOW—this guy is truly a gifted teacher. I’m no longer struggling to make progress. With Desi, I 'get it.' He’s able to explain the little nuances of guitar playing that enable a student like me to play real music. The way his courses are presented it's as if I am taking a private lesson with Desi. Most importantly, my joy for guitar is back. Thanks, Desi!”
- Mike C.
"In just a couple of months, I’ve started at about zero on the guitar and can now play over 20 songs. Desi’s step-by-step teaching style is what most other teachers I’ve seen on YouTube or otherwise lack. They tend to go from zero to 100mph in a second and seem to be more concerned with showing off than teaching. I’m impressed with how each song in Desi’s song packs builds a little bit on the previous ones and how quickly I’ve progressed. The lessons are fun and keep me looking forward to getting home at night and picking up the guitar."
- Charles
"Trying to learn guitar with so many online resources to choose from put me on the wrong track. I fell into the trap of learning theory and soloing. My playing wasn’t taking shape and I wasn’t enjoying it. I now realize I need to learn how to play simple songs using basic chords before I venture into harder things. I took many steps back so I can actually move forward in a productive fashion. This course was exactly what I needed."
