This module will show you how to play Tugboat by Galaxie 500, an easy song for beginners to guitar. It was designed to help those beginners who want to learn a song and not learn everything about guitar at the same time. It presents only the most appropriate information for your skill level, momentum, and tolerance for information.

The challenge for many beginners is to find online guitar lessons that are appropriate to their current ability. Luckily, Tugboat by Galaxie 500 is one of the easiest songs you could learn as a beginner. In fact, it’s super appropriate to learn if you know a couple of chords and have done a little bit of strumming.

In this course, I'll show you how to play the chords, the strumming pattern, and the chord progression of Tugboat in a step by step manner. Then, I'll show you how to practice each of these skills effectively. Additionally, I’ll show you how to play the guitar solo in the beginning of Tugboat, and how to practice that effectively too.
