IS THIS YOUR JAM?
So you've decided to learn how to play songs on your guitar. Just for fun, after work, around the campfire or at parties.
However, with all the information that's found on a single page of TAB, or in 'easy' guitar videos, it's easy to feel lost, stuck, learning 'stuff' that doesn't have you playing songs...
When all you want to do is play songs on your guitar for fun...
It may surprise you that you don't need to learn a bunch of theory, a ton of scales or how to read music...

All You Need Is A Modern, Effective Approach To:
• Changing chords
• Playing good strumming patterns and keeping good rhythm
• A great set of songs to play, and
• Know exactly what you need to do to practice them
ANYONE CAN FIND THE CHORDS TO PLAY SONGS
Type in your favourite song into a search engine and you will see dozens of video lessons, song charts and/or TAB to get you going.
Anyone can do that.
The problem is, most people don't need help with what chords to play or where to place their fingers.
What they need help with is...
What's NOT written down on the pieces of music.
The things that make you play the songs well.
And it's not strumming patterns and a ton of theory.
The good news is, there's a simple solution to the above to help you play your favourite songs.

"I tried to learn guitar many years ago but became very frustrated after trying three different teachers... I have been there now for four and a half years and have found Allen to be an excellent teacher...Your age doesn't matter, if you want to have fun and learn a new and enjoyable life skill... give Allen a call. You won't be sorry." - Jim P. GC Guitar Club Member
WHO IS THIS FOR?
-
You're an adult (I currently don't teach kids and teens as they learn differently)
-
You're a complete beginner
-
A near beginner
-
Been at it for a little while but still can't play songs
-
You have your own acoustic or. electric guitar (if you would like some help with knowing what to look for when you purchasing a guitar, click here and we can talk about that )
-
You are wanting a solid foundation of skills to confidently play great folk, blues, acoustic rock, classic rock, country, pop, heavy rock, grunge, indie and alternative songs
(I recommend if you want to play jazz, metal, classical or funk guitar styles, search for a guitar teacher dedicated in that style as it requires a different discipline and teaching method)
Guitar lesson training is results-driven and recommended for any guitar hobbyist so that you can play songs after work, at weekend jams, around campfires, at parties, or gatherings over a glass of wine.

"Hi Allen, Had to share, had a day off today and practiced guitar for 2 or 3 hours, then my husband jumped on drums and we played about 6 or 7 songs together through the amps and it actually worked :-) Pumped haha. Thanks for being an awesome teacher. - V. McLelland GC Guitar Club Member
