“This is a treasure trove of information” ~ Mary D.
“I knew if I got serious and learned from a pro I’d be better off on guitar but I didn’t know I could improve so quickly. This really is foundational to great playing.” ~ James E.
These video lessons are made for high level beginners, intermediate players, and those who have played many years without a teacher, or lessons, and haven’t used a book. The material starts simply but advances quickly for adults and those more experienced eager for college level guitar.
It is the equivalent of 2-4 hours of guitar lessons with me.
These are tips and practices of Guitar Essentials that will take your playing immediately to a professional level. They are playing techniques that enhance your ability and develop both hands simultaneously. This course covers the essentials I have found important that even many professional guitar players lack. The lessons cover materials I use and teach everyone. It is that important and foundational to building your abilities to be a great guitar player.
