Dear Fellow Guitar Player,

My career as a professional guitarist has spanned more than 40 years. In that time, I have had the honor of sharing stages with many top name artists (Little Big Town, Wild Rose, Winger, Confederate RailroadJason Aldean, Marshall Tucker and more), and spent many of those years touring the U.S. and Europe. In addition, I have owned a successful music store, been a published songwriter, and taught countless students how to play guitar.

And one big thing that I’ve learned throughout that experience is that nearly anyone can learn how to play guitar.

How Can I Make This Claim?

One thing you should know is that I did not spend years studying music theory. I didn’t pursue a degree in music or have any formal training, and I certainly wasn’t blessed with tons of natural talent.

I learned to play guitar the hard way, learning songs off of vinyl records, stealing licks from other guitar players, and learning to play guitar by “ear” and by “feel” and by “pattern“.

And you know the funny thing? I worked hard to teach myself the guitar without a “proper education”, but was still able to become an in-demand guitar player touring the US and Europe, sharing stages with some of the biggest names in the business.

And now you can discover how to play guitar using the 40 years worth of guitar playing secrets, tips and shortcuts I’m going to give you!

Keep reading to find out how…

…Soooo Easy!

Not only have your classes been full of fun, but they are sooooo easy to follow that anyone can learn from you.  You make the guitar fun, and the songs easy to learn.  I have not been able to put my guitar down, and the only draw back I have is there aren’t enough hours in the day for practice.  Keith, you are a testament to easy learning.  Oh yeah, and the most important thing of all, is you give personal feedback which to me, is the best part of all.  I actually get to talk with you as if you were teaching me personally.  Thank you for the opportunity to really learn this instrument at my own pace.

…In 4 days with you I’m now playing parts to three songs and one riff…

I picked up a guitar five months ago and have been able to form chords but was not able to play any songs. In four days with you I’m now playing parts to three songs and one riff. I’m thrilled with my progress and thank you dearly for your invaluable assistance. You have renewed my dream of playing the guitar. Thank you

Busting Common Guitar Myths!

What’s the hardest thing about getting started on guitar? Sometimes it’s just a matter of breaking down and dispelling some common myths and misconceptions. See if any of these sound familiar.

Myth – You have to study music theory to get good on the guitar.

Fact – Some of the greatest guitar players of our generation never studied music theory or cracked open a music book. In fact, many never even took guitar lessons! Think… Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Clapton and more.

Myth –  You have to spend hours on repetitive guitar drills and exercises to teach your fingers how to play.

Fact –  Any dog can be taught new tricks through repetition. Mundane drills and exercises will make you a good robot, but will not necessarily turn you into a good guitar player.

Myth –  You have to be in your teens or twenties to really learn how to play guitar.

Fact – Younger guitar students are often unencumbered with raising families and working, and as a result, have more time to practice and make progress. Adult students, however, typically have more patience and are able to focus more closely on their studies. Progress may be slower, but the “quality” of the progress is heightened.

Myth – You have to practice scales over and over to be able to play lead guitar.

Fact – While a certain knowledge of scale “patterns” is important, learning how to mindlessly play scale notes up and down the neck has little to do with truly making music.

Myth –  You have to play really fast, to be really good.

Fact – There is a fixation with today’s generation on playing guitar really fast. It may be impressive from a mechanical point of view, but speed licks do not really “say” anything musically. Think…B.B King.

Myth –  You have to take the latest “flashy” guitar lessons program designed for (and taught by) kids, to learn how to play guitar.

Fact – A recent Gallup Survey showed that 59% of music makers are under 35 years old. As a result, most lesson programs target this age group. Luckily, today you’ve discovered a guitar lessons program developed specifically for “our” age group, without the flash!

Have you tried the “Google” guitar lessons approach?

Let’s face it, there’s a ton of information out there on the web.  Free lessons, YouTube videos, blogs and advice. Some of it good, some not so good.

The problem is, bouncing back and forth from site to site, grabbing little bits of “this and that” along the way, is not going to take you very far on the guitar. In fact, it can easily lead to “information overload” resulting in anxiety and frustration.  

When many of my new guitar students started with Adult Guitar Lessons, they were self professed “Google Guitarists”. Ones that could play little snippets, riffs and licks on guitar, but had no real firm grasp on guitar concepts. In fact, many were hard pressed to play a complete song from beginning to end!

Most of them had the desire to learn how to play guitar, they simply lacked “focus“.

Finally Rockin’ at 59!

When I was about 12 I had visions of being a rock star like so many during the time of the British invasion. As I got older, life got in the way, and even though I thought of being that rock star I never was able to pursue my dreams. My wife knew of my younger dreams and encouraged me to start playing again, which I did a little, but I wanted to play the guitar the right way, not struggle with trying to read music, learn the chords, make the progressions from chord to chord without the frustration. I started looking online for guitar lesson information and found a lot of sites,but none seemed to be in the business of teaching – only selling – except one, Adult Guitar Lessons. I was a bit apprehensive at first but I joined after being impressed with what the site contained. It was so loaded with information and sharing, genuine in a way that only a person that loves what he does is willing to give to others that have the desire as well.

I want to tell you I have enjoyed every minute of my lessons and practice. I can’t wait to take another lesson or practice every chance I get. I have slowed my lessons a bit simply because I want to be good at playing guitar and want every note to be as clear and beautiful sounding as it can be and the progressions to be smooth. Who knows maybe now at 59 I am on my way to being that rock star I only have been able to dream about.

Since becoming a member of Adult Guitar Lessons, I have talked to many people interested in learning to play with the same story as mine, and trust me when I say I have recommended every one of them to you.

Professional Help…

Hi Keith,
I’m sending this to thank you for all of your professional help. When I started with the guitar I didn’t think it was my thing to do. I went on-line to find some help and I ran across your web-site for Adult Guitar Lessons. It was not easy to get the chords to sound clear, but with you available through email conversations I can now do the C-A-G-E-D chords with no problem. Thank you so much for the encouragement.

Take Care and GOD Bless

In additionDid you know that….

…Playing Guitar “Later in Life” Can Be Good For Your Health?

It has been known for a long time that listening to music can result in positive health benefits by reducing blood pressure, stress and feelings of pain.

But did you know that recent studies show that playing music has positive and lasting health benefits in older adults? 

Learning to play guitar can help with improved brain functions as shown by a Pennsylvania State University study. When the brain is engaged in 60 to 75 minute sessions of “exercise”, the results are improvement in mental processing and reasoning skills, which can increase cognitive skills as much as 5 years later in older adults.

In another study (Music Making and Wellness Project), it was shown that a group of retirees that took music lessons experienced:

  Increasing levels of human growth hormone (hGH)

  Decreases in Anxiety

  Reductions in Depression

  Reduction in Feelings of Loneliness

We all know that playing guitar is fun, and is good for the “soul”. But now we know it’s good for your health as well!

Making My Dreams Come True…

Hi Keith, First off I’d like to thank you so very much for making my dream come true. I always wanted to play guitar and try an be a good player like all my friends. Well I think the way I’m going now I will get pretty good as I can already play a number of songs…To all you people who want to learn guitar at home and with all the help you need by just sending Keith a note, he will be right there to help you at all times. Trust me , this is a great site if you really want to learn guitar. Good luck to all. 

P.S.– By the way I am 58 years young, I took Guitar lessons from two different teachers around 25 years ago at different intervals but have learnt a great deal more from Keith in this past month . Its because he takes his time and takes you step by step through everything, he explains it all right to a tee. (way to go Keith)

Paul, Ontario, Canada

Making Guitar Learning Fun!…

Thanks for making learning guitar fun, I like the way you cut to the chase and get a lot going so it does not become boring.  I am 65 years young and enjoy spending time playing.   Great lesson plan and you put a lot on the plate, that way you can pick what you want to learn and have fun time at it. I recommend this lesson plan to anyone with interest to getting up and running fast, thanks again.

Hi Keith & Staff.
I want to let you know how helpful and easy to follow your lessons have been. I am 50 years old and always wanted to learn guitar. I never thought I could learn the basics so fast. I have my own business here in Australia and work long hours, even so I spend a least 45 minutes each evening practising using your tutorials.The way they are presented is first class.I know I still have a way to go but I know I will get there. So thank you for making a life long aim come to fruition. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adult Guitar Lessons to anyone wanting to learn guitar.

E Chord Strumming

Lesson Goals:

° Learn the right hand down stroke technique
° Learn the right hand up stroke technique
° Become familiar with the music staff and notation
° Learn alternating down and up stroke pattern

Now that we know how to form the E chord we can begin working on learning strumming techniques.

Start by practicing down strokes as illustrated to the right. For now just work on getting smooth strokes with all 6 strings ringing clearly.

Do this slowly and keep a steady tempo to begin with and then you can gradually speed up.

Next we will work on up strokes. Again, we are not too concerned with speed at this stage. Just play them slow and at a steady tempo until you feel comfortable with the movement.

Now we can………
