"How
A Drop Dead Simple "Learning Hack" Halfed My Learning Curve And Had Me
Playing All My Favorite Songs And Wow My Friends With Fancy Lead Guitar
Tricks Almost Overnight!"
Dear friend,
If you ever wanted to impress your friends by playing any song request, easily pick the chords from a song by ear, or team up with some friend and start a band... then you will be very excited to hear what I have to say.
My name is Pelle Rylander (it's swedish) and I'm just writing this to you to share this very simple way I discovered which allowed me to very quickly become a drastically better, hardcore rocker in 6 months training in this way, than 30 years of solo (pun intended) practice had failed to teach me.
The year was 1975. At the age of fifteen, I "borrowed" my older brotherīs guitar to take my first stumbling steps into the fascinating world of guitar playing.
Armed with that old scratchy guitar and The Beatles Complete - a book containing half a billion songs (it seemed) with instructions on how to play the chords.
I sat down in my bed with the guitar and book. Now I would become the King! All the girls would want me, and I would be invited to every party in town! Heck, I would be the very center of those parties!
However...
Two months later I was still sitting in my bed with the guitar in my lap, struggling to get my, now hurting, fingers in the right position. I was having problem getting them to do as I told them. And I was still not even able to get through a single song without problems.
Things were not as simple as I thought they would be.
Actually, it would take a long long time before I could honestly say "I can play the guitar."
As years passed by, I made progress, but slowly. I joined a band when I was 30, but I never really felt comfortable with the guitar. If I were to play anything that could even remotely be compared to something that you'd call "advanced" I had to practice for hours every day for like a week just to be able to play a simple riff for 30 seconds...
I always had to stay sharp - being able to just let go and let the music flow from your fingers was nothing but a dream of Utopia...
When Internet came into our lives, things got somewhat easier. Suddenly you could just print out a song and (attempt to) play it.
I remember browsing around the old OLGA homepage (Online Guitar Archive) in hope to find some new songs to play. And I learned many new songs with a little help from OLGA.
But I did not improve my guitar playing skills very much. I guessed they kind of lulled me into thinking that I was improving my actual technique, while in fact I was just screwing off playing the same stuff over and over again...
Today I am 50 years old. It's been over 30 years since I first picked up that old Beatles book.
Now I can finally(!), proudly, state:
I can play the guitar - And Iīm damn good at it!
So what happened?
It was, again, the internet who rushed to my help..
I jumped around the web more or less aimlessly, hitting random websites in search for chord tables, song lyrics, guitar courses online and so on.
Thatīs how I happened to stumble upon Jamoramaīs website.
They offered a "mini" course at no cost, which I immediately downloaded.
This free course was of course no way near complete, but it demonstrated how easy it could be. The natural step from there was buying their main guitar course.
Then I realized that, excuse my french here, but damn - if an ol' knucklehead like me who couldn't tune a guitar to save his life - could learn this stuff with EASE - I'm betting you probably could too.
The learning process was completely new to me, but I found out that watching and listening to these video lessons and playing along made things a lot easier.
Okay - I did not become Andre Segovia or Al Di Meola. But then again, I am a very lazy student. Besides, my goal was, as I stated before, to be able to play songs that people at parties wanted to hear, to play at my local club for the fun of it. And this e-course helped me to accomplish just that.
Watch this video of me and a friend playing at a local club (it's me sitting down, to the left):
If YOU want to be the next Jimi Hendrix, these lessons are a perfect start.
The trick is the way they structure the teaching material. Super cool people and they just make it totally easy to figure it all out (ever tried to actually learn from an instruction guitar book?).
Seriously, if you ever wanted to become really freakin' good at this stuff, even if you can't spell "fretboard" - without hiring a private tutor or anything like that... then you need to take a serious look at this stuff.
This will cost you less money than even an amateur instructor will charge you for 1 hour of their time.
So if you want to save 30 years of frustration, cursing (and having to buy a bunch new guitars because you banged the old one against the wall just one too many times) - give these guys a chance. I did, and I certainly don't regret it.
