I understand how you feel. I've experienced the same frustrations and setbacks you're having now when I was learning how to play guitar back in the mid-1980's. I started with no guitar teacher - for the first 2 years!
So I relied on guitar method books and magazines. Then the teachers I had were just showing me more and more 'stuff'...each week, leading me down different directions.
There was no teaching or guidance on how to effectively develop muscle memory for great technique. No instruction on the quickest way to learn something. Looking back it was like driving around with two flat tyres. Forming massive bad habits - fast!

No amount of guitar instruction (free or paid for) is going to cut it for you - if it doesn't train you how to practice it properly. Sure you may practice what you learn...however practice does not make perfect...perfect practice makes perfect.
The Key To Learning And Playing Any Song On Your Guitar...
To learn how to play guitar well, without investing hours and hours practicing for little return, is not about learning 1000's of different things. It's simply focusing on seven core areas and doing them thousands of times. It's also having the right guitar teacher to train you how to learn to play guitar...
A teacher who is trained to teach you guitar. Someone who can keep you on the right track - guiding you to become a guitar player, playing like you want to, while having fun every step of the way.
Unless these core elements are in place, the reality is, learning to play guitar simply cannot be achieved in any faster way for you. As a guitar trainer this is what I do. I teach and train you to get results.
I'll help you get the most out of your limited practice time and teach you exactly what you need to be learning so you can see quick improvements, week in and week out, fast-tracking you to be up playing those one hundred favourite songs you want to be able to play so bad.
Through modern guitar teaching formats, Gold Coast School of Guitar does things differently. There is no reliance on outdated, traditional guitar methods. The teacher has received intensive training and is certified to give you the best guitar lessons on the Gold Coast.
You'll not only have fun every step of the way, learning your favourite songs, but you will be taught how to take all the skills and techniques you'll learn and to practice them effectively so you can become the guitar player you want to be in a shorter amount of time.
You'll not only have fun every step of the way, learning your favourite songs, but you will be taught how to take all the skills and techniques you'll learn and to practice them effectively so you can become the guitar player you want to be in a shorter amount of time.
Here's What You Get:
- A rock-solid understanding of the basics, learning the exact things you need to know and how to practice them correctly. This will save you from years of frustration and end the struggle you're experiencing, seeing little or no improvement by being trained how to learn and play guitar the right way
- The number #1 skill you need to play great songs on your guitar. Without this skill, even if it's one of the easiest songs you want to play, it won't be comfortable for you. With expert guidance, this will quickly become second nature for you so you can play entire songs easily - with complete confidence
- You'll be surprised at how easy it is to start writing your own songs (you really don't need to know much to start doing this. In fact you probably know enough things already to do so)
- Structure through a lesson and practicing strategy. This is designed to guide you and forge you ahead down the road and to keep you there. To ensure you will play your guitar the way you want, as quickly as possible
- Teaching on how learning through making mistakes and the power in seeing how you can't do something yet, is the natural way for you to make continual progress
- Instant feedback to keep you focused at all times like a missile aiming to hit its target. Instead of your usual slow, casual zig-zags to get you back in line like you're experiencing now, you'll be given tight, quick and accurate course corrections to make certain you hit your target
- The only guitar teacher in the Gold Coast area who is certified as an Elite Guitar Teacher. There is no other teacher on the coast who has this level of training and certifications - and it's on going! What does this mean for you? The more training I receive and complete, the better you get at playing guitar
- If you're tired of practicing chords and scales and not hearing them turn into music, you know that 'practice more' theories are not enough. It's not hours and hours of practicing that helps you - it's getting your practice into focus that will increase your skills quickly. You will learn how to do this even if you only have a few minutes each day to practice
- Properly developed habits that will bring all of your technique, theory and playing skills together so you can be confident in knowing you are no longer hindered in your playing progress. Imagine how great you're going to feel playing your way through all those favourite songs of yours
- A feeling of satisfaction knowing that, when you leave the studio to go home to practice, you'll know exactly what you need to be working on. And how to work on the material. In fact, it's likely you'll be having so much fun you won't want to go home
To become the guitar player you have always wanted to be, learning songs IS what you need to do - it's just not all you need. You can get songs from anywhere and any teacher can teach you songs. Most normal guitar lessons use the format of, "here's your weekly lesson, now go home and practice it".
This is not right and is a very slow and costly way (and unfortunately, all-too-common) for you to learn how to play guitar. The correct way to learn guitar should be done by instilling in you the correct playing and practicing habits from the start, so you are trained how to play your favourite guitar songs easily.
Your guitar lessons should be filled with instant feedback - every step of the way. This way you know you are learning and doing the right things in the right order. And to be effective, so you are seeing and receiving great value each week, your lessons should be conducted with learning and teaching breakthroughs not found in normal guitar instruction or outdated learning methods.
Methods and teaching strategies, the guitar teacher is thoroughly trained in - with easy, simple actions for you to do, to ensure your guitar playing success.

Ten Things You Should Get (As A Minimum) In Your Guitar Lessons:
1. Four Key Steps To Learning New Information: Through your lessons here, you will discover four crucial steps you need to know to produce great results with your guitar playing. These four steps assist to deepen your understanding and knowledge. To maximise your practice time and playing progress. Help turn your frustration into fun.
2. How To Practice: You will be taught 'how' to practice - not just told what to practice! There is a massive difference between the two. Practicing effectively and deliberately will skyrocket your guitar playing abilities to levels unimaginable to you right now. Deep practicing is the key!
3. Training For Your Brain - Not Just Your Hands: What conventional guitar teachers don't teach you in their guitar lessons, is the importance of how to train your brain. Even though playing the guitar is a physical activity, it is the mental side that requires the most regular, consistent training. To get you to the next level on the guitar - to get you maximum results - it's more about what goes on in your head than what you do with your fingers.
4. Self Motivation: To help you become a better guitar player, you will learn exactly how to motivate, teach and 'coach' yourself in your daily practice. You will gain the skills and insights to help you overcome your unique playing challenges. This kind of teaching is not usually found in everyday guitar lessons.
5. Become A Master Of The Basics: If your goal is to become a guitar master or even just a better guitar player - your first step is to be a master of the basics. Mastery of the basics is the core strength of your guitar playing skills. The more advanced you become the more critical this strength is!
6. Positive Instant Feedback: Being coached and encouraged will inspire you to move to the next level. Constant and timely feedback is critical in developing your playing skills. Having the right information will give you the confidence to reach your playing goals.
7. New Playing Habits: All guitar players who have learnt on their own unconsciously pick up bad habits. These habits impede their growth as a musician. You will be shown how to eliminate these habits and rectify the mistakes you are unknowingly making. (This is a positive, empowering process)
8. Your Questions Answered: You may of learnt some things through a guitar book or a DVD or even online. Although these methods can be great...they fail to do one thing. One thing no book, DVD or online video can do for you. Answer the questions you have about deepening your understanding of the exercises or techniques. You will discover nothing is superior to REAL-LIFE guitar instruction
9. The Fast Track To Your Playing Goals: If you have been playing a while, working with the right guitar teacher will be indispensable to your advancement. If you are beginning to playing guitar and to guitar lessons, your learning curve will be 10x faster than learning on your own. All great guitar players study with the right guitar teacher - if it works for them, it will work for you!
10. Inspiration To Be A Better Guitar Player: My goal is to Teach, Lead and Inspire you to become the great guitar player you want to be. Not just to show you 'stuff' just because you 'show up'. I will help you solve your playing problems and eliminate your frustrations and struggles. I will be there with you every step of the way. As your guitar coach, trainer and mentor, this is my commitment to you.
You will not find these guitar lessons in any book or online...you won't find them anywhere else on the Gold Coast! Learn the correct playing and practicing habits, so you can save yourself years of frustration and countless setbacks.
Above all else, learning and playing guitar should be fun. And it will be for you, once all the fundamentals are in place, so you can go on to play your guitar in any style or genre you choose. Click on the orange button below to arrange your free introductory guitar session.
