Go from beginner to confident guitar player.

Have you dreamed of playing guitar but didn’t know where to start? Or maybe you’ve started playing but quickly became confused, overwhelmed, or didn’t know what to do next?

Turn your guitar dreams into reality

A lot of new guitar players have no idea how to start playing. When I was learning, I took lessons, and yet still felt like I didn’t entirely know what I was doing. I had so many questions that I didn’t know how to ask. I pronounced things incorrectly. I felt like everyone else had some secret vault of guitar knowledge that I was somehow missing. I needed a book that did more than just teach me how to play; it had to teach me everything I needed to know about the guitar to feel like a real player. But try as I might, I just couldn’t find what I was looking for.

Now, as a professional guitarist and guitar teacher, I want to help new players avoid these same frustrations and uncertainties. That’s why I created Beginner Guitar: The All-in-One Guide. It not only teaches you how to play, it teaches you everything a new player wants to know to enter the vast world of guitar.
