Why are you learning to play the guitar?  If you’re like most people, your answer is, “Well, I’ve always wanted to play guitar.” Maybe learning to play the guitar is something you’ve wanted to do since childhood or maybe it is something that you just recently thought of trying. Whatever your reason, this is the perfect book to begin your journey.

With this method you will learn: 

  • How to play using a pick, and fingerstyle.

  • How to read standard notation (yes, really!) and tabulature.

  • How to play notes all along the neck of the guitar, not just the first few frets.

  • A variety of playing styles: Blues, Folk, Classical and Contemporary

  • How to play open position chords, contemporary sounding chords, and bar chords.

  • You’ll get some practical music theory.

  • Free play-along tracks are provided online.

  • And much more!

We’ve crafted this method with both students and the teachers in mind. Students will appreciate the variety of content, teachers will appreciate the thoughtful progression of the subjects and exercises. And both will appreciate the spiral binding that allows the book to lay flat on your music stand!

We’ve tested our method book on (literally!) thousands of students over thousands of hours of private lessons and group classes. All of that time has fine tuned this method to contain only the absolute best of what we’ve learned while teaching guitar.

We feel we’ve created something truly unique. We hope you enjoy it!
