Essential Information About This Method
- An ideal path for beginners: designed for the first year of guitar, with a clear and motivating progression.
- Balance between exercises and pieces: the student consolidates technical basics while quickly playing music.
- Original pieces in every lesson: Bertrand de Kermadec offers a short piece related to the concepts worked on.
- Varied audio accompaniments: downloadable orchestrations (also available on a YouTube channel) to play "in a group" from the start.
Summary of This Method
Designed to support the first steps on the guitar, this method emphasizes balanced learning, where technique is built progressively through the lessons without sacrificing the joy of playing. Each stage combines targeted exercises (setup, coordination, consistency, rhythmic precision) and short pieces, designed to immediately give meaning to daily practice. The student thus progresses with a solid technical foundation while developing listening skills and musicality from the very first weeks.
A strong point of this method lies in the integration, in every lesson, of a piece composed by Bertrand de Kermadec with instrumental accompaniment. These downloadable audios allow working on tempo stability, articulation, and dynamics, as well as addressing essential musician reflexes very early on: listening to the ensemble, breathing within phrases, placing attacks, and managing rests. By playing with accompaniment, the student feels part of a real musical ensemble, which boosts motivation and facilitates understanding of roles (melody, harmonic support, pulse).
The accompaniments are intentionally very varied to stimulate curiosity and establish stylistic references: from symphonic orchestra to a Cuban ensemble, including a more stripped-down bossa. This diversity invites exploration of different sonic colors while grounding guitar fundamentals through concrete musical situations. A perfect method to start confidently, gain assurance, and enjoy making music from the beginning.
