🔄 The CPR Song-Learning System
Our proven, 3-step approach that helps adult beginners play real songs faster — without getting overwhelmed.
After helping hundreds of adult beginners, I realised what most guitar methods were missing — a simple, stress-free way to actually enjoy learning songs. That’s how the CPR Song-Learning System was born.
🧩 Chunk It Down — We break each song into bite-sized sections so you’re never guessing what to do next.
🐢 Play It Slow — No pressure. No racing. We slow it down and loop it so your fingers catch up.
🔁 Repetition — Smart, focused reps to build confidence and muscle memory fast.
🎶 You’ll feel yourself improving every week — and it’s actually fun.

Why In-person, Group Guitar Classes, Are More Efficient (and Fun) Than Traditional 1-1 Lessons For Learning Guitar as an Adult:
When you learn to play the guitar in a small group classes, you will learn not only from the teacher but from students of different skill levels.
Why is this important? As Victor Wooten mentions in his book, ‘The Music Lesson’, this is how we learned to walk and talk - by surrounding ourselves with others who can already do what we want to do.
This way you will assimilate and integrate concepts and ideas faster.
Traditional 1-1 lessons can feel slow and isolating — just you and the teacher in a room.
You feel intimidated and overwhelmed. Thinking, ‘This guitar thing is going to take forever’.
At GCSG, you're surrounded by others learning just like you, which makes the journey faster, more fun, and way more inspiring.
