Learning Guitar Can Be Frustrating

I understand how learning to play guitar can be frustrating and confusing. Often you can practice something for weeks and not see progress. Nothing sounds right and it all seems disconnected. 

There's no clear path to getting where you want to go. Your not sure if you need more music theory, or to practice scales, or some secret ingredient that makes it all fall into place. 

There's never enough time to practice. Or you’re not sure what to practice to make good use of the time you have?

When you do practice do your fingers or wrist hurt? 

“Is this normal?” you wonder. “Am I doing something wrong?” How DO you know if you're improving or hurting yourself?

Maybe your fingers aren’t as flexible as they used to be. I know mine aren't. It's hard to know when it's a matter of flexibility or you're doing something wrong. 

That makes it hard to put your heart into it. Who wants to double down with troublesome hand positions and just develop bad habits faster?

To make things worse, there's this subtle but nagging voice that echoes from the back of your mind.  It goes something like this: “Maybe I’ll never get this. Do I have what it takes to be a “guitar player”?” Am I just wasting my time?”

I've been there and I get your struggles. Yes, from my own experience. But also as the director of Starland School of Music where I’ve interviewed thousands of students.

I can't magically make all the struggles go away, but I can help. Over the past 40 years of teaching, I've made it my mission to find ways to smooth out the rough edges of the learning process.

Introducing Real Guitar Success

Why an online program? More on that in a minute. 

First let me give you examples of how I make the learning process more enjoyable and less difficult.

I use Preemptive Preparation. I know that’s a mouthful. It simply means I know where the difficult places are and I prepare the student ahead of time, often without them even realizing it.  It just seems easy when you get there. 

I’ve composed tunes and filmed play-along videos that I refer to as “playing with the band”. This really livens things up and adds a new level of fun and excitement. It also speeds up learning coordination and rhythm.

I’ve created “Intimate View” play-along videos that mimics the process of a private lesson. I clearly show a large intimate view of both of my hands. It’s sort of like watching a football play up close on the big screen. I even give you three different speeds to make it as accessible as possible.

There are fun musical exercises, tabs and music notation for all the lessons, a live teaching/Q & A session, and many more small improvements that I’ve found helpful.

Each of these make learning a little easier, but they add up to an overall much better experience. 

All along the way I’m talking TO you in a calm, friendly voice, not AT you. No hype. No B.S. I let you know that, in no uncertain terms, you can do this. Just follow my lead and step by step we’ll get there.

I’ve thought deeply about this over many years.  I don't want to take your money and teach you a few songs or riffs. I know that's what a lot of the lessons out there are doing. But that's not enough. It's not enough for me.

What I want for you is to have an incredible learning experience where you feel empowered to make beautiful music on the guitar. To feel confident in your ability to learn and share music with others, and possibly even create your own music if you desire.
