It can be difficult to get started learning Celtic backing guitar. There is so much to learn, from ear training, to music theory, to strumming patterns to rhythms to memorising tunes…. So much to practice- so little time! In today’s free Celtic guitar lesson from Folk Friend, I’m going to be telling you my top ten practice tips to make your guitar practice time more efficient.
I’ll also be demonstrating my brand new invention, the Folk Friend Guitar Practice Diary (click the link to buy now)! It uses a targeted system of quarterly, monthly and weekly reviews alongside an events calendar and my revolutionary Tablusic system to help you achieve your goals quickly. It also contains lots of handy tidbits for the budding Celtic guitarist, like chord shapes, mode diagrams, practice techniques and a ready made section for you to write your own tabs and chord diagrams quickly and easily.
The Stephen Guise book I mentioned (Mini Habits) is available here.

Good morning,. Might you have the diary in a digital format? I’m across the pond in Chicago so shipping would be considerably less expensive that way. Love your lessons. I love your chord backing book ( digital format)
Hi Dan. I don’t I’m afraid- I didn’t think it would be much help unless people could physically write in it. However you can order it through Amazon US which is probably quite a bit cheaper! Thanks for your comment and get in touch if I can help with anything else 🙂
