I recently enrolled on free guitar beginner courses at "online universities" Coursera and Udemy.

 

The udemy course is probably a bit more basic.

The coursera course is more substantial, and teaches a lot more technique, has assignments and quizzes and you can also get a certificate at the end if you want to pay for it, but you don't need to pay anything in order to do the course

Both courses are really good and recommended, and you will learn some things that are not covered in the rocksmith tutorials.

Thanks! Will check them out for sure.....
