“Trade Your Guitar Teacher for Two Brand New Guitars This Year… and Learn to Play Guitar in Two Days.”

When taking lessons from a personal guitar teacher something that has really frustrated me, and I believe would also frustrate you, is that there are a number of things that can go wrong…

My own first guitar lesson was in the 80’s. At the time I knew next to nothing about playing guitar. Since then I’ve had five guitar teachers, and here’s often what has happened with these teachers:

• They spend inordinate amounts of time showing off playing guitar for you and putting on a show while you watch wondering when the lesson will start. My very first teacher was guilty of this offense. The really frightening thing is he wore spandex while doing this. It’s a wonder to me that I’m still playing guitar after the 80’s

• They’ll say, “okay, well here’s a scale, go ahead and practice this for a few minutes and I’ll be right back.” And then they disappear for 15 or 20 minutes while you sit there practicing your scale wondering when they’ll come back. Practicing is something you need to be doing at home. An instructor should never leave the room unless they have a good reason.

• Too often guitar teachers simply don’t have a lesson plan. You are paying $15, $20 or $25 an hour and you sit down with them and they may not even have an efficient methodology that they can walk you through, or anything they’ve developed that’s effective for teaching you while not wasting your time and money. They are often times teaching whatever comes off the tops of their heads.

• Maybe they chose to teach you from a book. Don’t be surprised if your a beginning guitarist and you find yourself starting off playing “When the Saints Go Marching In” from an ancient “Mel Bay” book. A fine song to be sure, but it can be frustrating if you’re not interested in learning to read standard music notation, or you really just want to play the chords and songs that you’re interested in. Quite frankly, I believe, you can waste a lot of time with a book like this.

I’ve had these things happened to me and I’ll bet my wallet some of you can think of things like this that have happened either to you or to a friend.

In the end what do you have to show for it? $600 in the Hole.

Lessons are expensive! I’m sure it’s not hard for you to imagine paying $20 a lesson. If you’re taking four lessons a month,with one lesson a week, that over six months would cost you $600 of hard earned cash!

$600 is a lot of money, in fact you could buy a really nice new guitar with $600. Wouldn’t you rather have that than six months of dillydallying with a teacher who doesn’t have a methodology and probably is not spending your time wisely?

Over the course of the year that’s two brand new guitars you could have spent that money on instead!

Of course, it’s true that not all guitar teachers are like that. If you are lucky enough to find a good one, and you’re willing to pay the price, then you’re fortunate.

An Alternative: Save time, save money, save face, AND Get Good Fast!

As an alternative, there’s a ton of reasonably priced products being sold online to teach you how to play guitar. I’ve surveyed many of these products and indeed you can get a great education. However, as with anything, not all products are created equal. This seems to be especially true of instructional products. I’ll tell you about my favorite two products in a moment.

What About Free Stuff?

Well, yes. There’s a ton of free information out there online that 10 years ago you couldn’t find. It’s amazing how much you probably could teach yourself if you knew what to look for. However, this does come with a price. You need to know what to look for!

Whether it’s Guitar Products or the Maelstrom of Free Info:

• You could easily be overwhelmed with the enormous amount of information out there especially if you’re somebody who considers yourself music phobic, or if you feel like you’re the kind of person that finds it hard to pick up and learn and instrument.

• Even if you’re just looking to pick up the guitar and play some simple chords properly without bleeding fingers, it can be really hard to figure out exactly what you need to be paying attention to, and where to start. And, unfortunately a lot of this information is really of a low quality.

The good news though is there are good solutions out there, but you have to be careful. The guitar products out there tend to be either for advanced guitarists, or they try to be everything to everyone and take someone from beginner to advanced player with one product.

Are You an Advanced Player? I’ve got something special for you.

There is one great advanced guitar instruction course out there. This is my favorite and it’s called “Guitar Control” (http://easylearn2playguitar.com/recommends/GuitarControl). This one is fantastic because it has a huge array of hundreds of unusual, impressive, and downright original mind boggling tricks and techniques. IF you’re an advanced guitarist I recommend this product whole heartedly. Be sure to read the product description at the link carefully, it says it all.

However, if you’re a beginner guitarist I really wrote this article for you. I want to help you get up to speed fast, and help you get focused and find what you need.

Are You a Beginner? Here’s the Best I’ve Found for Learning How to Play the Guitar

When I did my research there was one stand out guitar method and instructional product. It’s not about online videos or huge course ware. It also doesn’t matter if you’re learning how to play electric guitar, or acoustic guitar.

• It’s a step by step very simple process with illustrations for learning guitar and actually be able to pick up a guitar from nothing and be able to strum chords and actually play a song.

• This methodology is so effective that you could literally learn to pick up a guitar and start strumming chords within two hours and sound good doing it. And you will! I kid you not. And I’ll give you a link so you can hear proof of this in a moment.

• Not only will you impress people with your playing, but you will blow them away with how quickly you have learned to play.

• This is a methodology developed by a professional guitar instructor who works in Australia and who has spent 20 plus years teaching guitar students while refining the methodology to develop up something as efficient and easy as possible for you.

This is what I was looking for to give my own students.

Imagine, if you can learn guitar chords and songs in two hours, what you could do over the weekend!

Who is this method good for?

• I highly recommend this book if you’re beginning guitarist and you are just starting out.
• If you’ve got a little skill already this course will help you develop your skills very quickly and removes any ruts you might have.
• If you used to play a little guitar years ago and are picking it up again. This will hone your old skills and bring them back quickly while adding even more.

Proof! That it Does What it Says For You

I’m so happy this recording is available. I want you to check out and hear for yourself the kind of results you can expect in just two hours.

Click through the link beneath the picture below to play the audio file because it’s a recording of Kim Watts who was challenged to pick up the guitar even though she had never played before. She went through this quick methodology, and two hours later she was able to play guitar.

This demonstration was actually broadcast on an ABC radio station in Melbourne. Kim was one of the stations listeners who accepted the challenge. You’ll be able to hear for yourself in this short segment what the results sound like, and I think they’re pretty amazing.
