Learn how to expand your guitar chord creativity, with other guitar players who, like you, want to have lots of fun playing guitar
Are you tired of playing the same old, vanilla flavoured cowboy chords?
Want to learn how to add musical ideas to your guitar playing, that are fun and super easy to play?
Let this workshop help you unlock your guitar playing, the way you've always know how it could be...
|
You play guitar because it is a wonderful, amazing instrument. Full of life, richness, mystery and amazement. If you're like most guitar players though, you're only lightly knocking on the door of your guitar and not exploring beyond the surface level of standard major and minor chord forms and simple strumming patterns....
There is nothing wrong with those chord shapes and rhythmic patterns. We've all learnt them and countless songs have used them throughout the years - because they work.
Imagine being able to pick up your guitar though, and instead of playing around with those everyday chord changes, you can easily start playing rich, full sounding, colourful chords - even over a standard I, IV, V progression or a simple two chord vamp. Pull these out at your next jam session and watch your band mates eyes light up.
By learning these simple concepts at the Adding Colour And Movement To Chords workshop you will be able to:
- Break away from the common musical ideas that most guitar players use
- Tap into you and your guitar's infinite potential
- Expand your chord vocabulary so you can have your own voice when playing with other guitarists or musicians
- Create interesting elements for your own songwriting compositions
- Walk away feeling inspired to pick up your guitar and play it more often
Discover How To Make Your Guitar Playing Come Alive Over 8 Hours Of Fun And Instruction

Hello, my name is Allen Hopgood. Having started Gold Coast School of Guitar in 2011, I am the only Gold Coast member of the Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle. A global network of trained guitar teachers, certified to teach you guitar - one of 5 in all of Australia! What does this mean for you?
If you were to visit a doctor, mechanic or a lawyer, and they didn't have their certifications displayed on the wall, wouldn't you think that's odd? Would you be inclined to look elsewhere? So why should it be different for a guitar teacher? A professional in the market place...
As I am extensively trained to teach guitar, this is my guarantee to you, that when you attend this workshop, you will be expertly trained and taught, so you can get massive benefits and the results you are seeking to advance your guitar playing.
If you were to visit a doctor, mechanic or a lawyer, and they didn't have their certifications displayed on the wall, wouldn't you think that's odd? Would you be inclined to look elsewhere? So why should it be different for a guitar teacher? A professional in the market place...
As I am extensively trained to teach guitar, this is my guarantee to you, that when you attend this workshop, you will be expertly trained and taught, so you can get massive benefits and the results you are seeking to advance your guitar playing.
Here's What You Get:
1. (8) Eight hours of expert education, coaching and training on how to add colour and movement to chords across two Sunday afternoons - September 15 and 29, 2019. (2x 4) four hour sessions, with short breaks in between each hour to give your mind, ears and hands a rest.
2. Hang out with, other cool, like-minded guitar players who, like you, want to expand their chord creativity, and have lots of fun learning new ways to express how to play guitar.
3. Chords and simple ideas that add emotion, excitement, finesse, lustre to your guitar playing, offering a richer, harmonic complexity to your ears - that's sure to impress family and friends.
There will be a lot of musical concepts and ideas presented in the workshop. As a professional guitar teacher, I understand, that after learning that many new concepts and ideas, you need the 'alone time' to grasp it and assimilate it. You need a break to understand, apply and integrate them into your guitar playing. So you don't feel overwhelmed. This way, at the end of day 1, you can go home and play around with what you've learnt...
For an entire two weeks, you can practice the material. Experiment with the concepts and start creating your own ideas. Don't know how to be creative on your guitar? Don't worry. You will learn how to do this before the end of the first day...
Then, when you return for Day 2, you will come back a more competent and confident guitar player. Refreshed and ready to learn more amazing material, that will help you finally play guitar the way you've always dreamed of. For this reason the workshop is designed this way.
Plus, You Get Bonuses... Not One, But Two...
Bonus 1: As there will be a LOT of information presented at the workshop, there is no way you can keep it all in your head. So you can keep this information forever, and return to it time and again, you will receive a 3- ringed binder with all the materials covered in the workshop as a bonus to you. Valued at $47 but it's literally priceless, depending on what you do with it... You get it for FREE!
Bonus 2: To help you get even MORE from the chord colour creativity workshop, on Saturday October 12th, 2019, from 2pm-5pm, you get to attend a special, first-time, never-before-presented (3) three hour Guitar Training Camp. At the camp you will focus on the seven key areas you should be practicing to become a better guitar player and musician - even if you only have 20 minutes a day to practice your guitar!
I have never offered this type of guitar training before. Even to my guitar students. You are going to get breakthroughs, insights and results, to help everything you know how to play already on your guitar, sound even better, PLUS it's going to be a lot of fun. At $197 value this is yours free, as a bonus for attending The Adding Colour And MovementTo Chords workshop...

- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS -
What if I can only attend the first session, can I still receive the Guitar Training Camp bonus?
Of course you can. The Guitar Training Camp is on the 12th of October, 2019 and as long as the workshop is paid in full you can still attend the training camp.
So the bonus items are factored into the overall price?
No. A bonus is a bonus! The workshop is only $257 + GST for you to attend. The bonus items are free to you for attending the Adding Colour and Movement To Chords workshop.
Do I need a guitar to attend?
Yes you will. There are no instruments for loan or sale at the workshop. You could ask a friend or family member to loan you one if you can, but it is preferable to have your own. To help you to purchase a guitar contact me on the number in the orange box above to talk about the right solution for you.
This workshop sounds really fun, but I have never played guitar before can I still attend?
A minimum knowledge of 8 basic open chords and an understanding of how to play a major scale is needed to attend. To help you get ready before the 15th of September go here to schedule guitar lessons to help you with these basics, so you are ready to start.
I have something else on already for one of those days, can I get a discount if I can only attend one day of the workshop?
If you book your ticket before the 30th, August, 2019 you get a massive discount of 35% plus all the bonuses. There are no further discounts. If you can only attend one day, is it possible to rearrange your schedule and previous commitments? You also have the option of attending one day and also get access to the Guitar Training Camp bonus on the 12th, October, 2019. If you can't rearrange this workshop will be held again in 12 months time. If you would notifications of future events you can send an email requesting this here : info@goldcoastschoolofguitar.com
This sounds like something designed for a beginner to early intermediate guitar player, I have been playing several years, will I still get a lot out of this? I don't want to sign up for something only not to get value out of it.
I completely understand. I'm the same too! When you call to book your ticket, I will ask you a series of questions to find out more about you. Your skill level; what you know kind of questions etc. As the workshop is open to all skill levels, you will be given material and training exercises, that will challenge you to learn at your specific level so you can get the results and value you are after. Being trained to teach you guitar, I do this everyday with my students of Gold Coast School of Guitar. So I'm confident you're in good hands. And if at the end of our phone call, we both feel this isn't for you, of course there is no-obligation for you to proceed further.
My nine-year old has been playing for about a year, I know she would love this, can she attend?
Children the age of your daughter, learn in a completely different way to teens and adults. Even though I know she would benefit from this education, the way it will be taught and trained will be at a different level of comprehension for her. Plus, in my professional experience having a nine-year old attempt to concentrate and focus for 4 hours is to much for them to do so. The minimum age for this workshop is fourteen. This will be of greater benefit for your child right now.
What if I attend and don't like it?
These things happen from time to time. Even though I am confident this won't be the case for you, I offer a satisfaction guarantee to you. That if at the end of the first day, you don't feel you have learnt anything, there is a 100%, no questions asked, money back guarantee.
