‘Six String Signs’ – Deaf-friendly Guitar Course

I’m really excited to be releasing this course! I think it is the first of its kind and I hope it inspires Deaf music lovers to pick up a guitar and enjoy learning this fantastic instrument.

Course Contents And How To Use

This course contains 9 videos and a selection of handouts. They teach you sections of 3 famous Rock and Pop songs/riffs. I’ve tried to make the videos as colourful and visual as possible. BSL and subtitles are used throughout.

I recommend students also consider downloading an audio visualizer that has a microphone function. This could be used alongside the videos and when practicing. There are a lot of visualisers available -for example, my students especially liked Whitecap . Another great accompaniment to the course would be the app Rocksmith which is very visual and also uses coloured strings. I mention this in video 9.

Special thanks to Zahra from @deafsigns for her fantastic BSL tuition and help with improving these videos (including suggestions for my logo). I highly recommend her as a tutor!

This course is dedicated to my son Rowan who loves guitar.
