Your Path: All-Around Player, Brand New
This is your path from your first chords to making music of your own. Follow the courses in order. Each step builds skills you'll carry into a lifetime of playing.
1
The 28-Day Head Start
Begin making music with chords, rhythm, and your first melodies. Twenty-eight short sessions help you experience progress from the start and make picking up your guitar a regular part of your day.
2
7 More Chords
Open the door to more songs with seven essential chords. Just as valuable, you'll learn a method for learning and practicing new chords that you can use with every chord you tackle from here on.
3
Strumming and Switching
This is where chords start sounding like songs. Learn to strum smoothly and change chords in time, keeping the music moving. These skills make even a simple chord progression satisfying to play and enjoyable to hear.

The Guitar Sessions Quick Start
Experience how small steps add up to music. I'll guide you through a complete five-session practice cycle, explaining what to focus on, why it matters, and how each skill prepares you for the final play-along.
5
The Daily Guitar Sessions
The heart of Real Guitar Success, built around a system I've refined over years. Each week brings a new five-session series: technique, riffs, improvisation, chords and rhythm, then a song or musical challenge that brings it all together. You'll keep growing as a player and put your skills to work making music.
Keep showing up. That's how your playing grows. Move forward when you can use what you've learned, even with a few stumbles, and come back to the tricky spots as you go. Progress comes from stretching yourself and enjoying what you can already play along the way.
