You want to learn Guitar.
Have you struggled to find a guitar teacher that’s right for you?
Not sure how to start?
Do you want to scope out the basics of playing guitar before buying all the gear (with no idea)?
Does the amount of information online seem overwhelming?
Do you play already but your strings buzz or sound dead (muted)?
Does the guitar feel uncomfortable?
Thumb pain?
Can’t reach the frets?
These are common problems like you wouldn’t believe.
They are all discussed (and much more) in this free guitar tutorial series. The lessons are informed by my 20+ years of teaching where I’ve seen students struggle, question and be inspired.
