Trying to learn guitar by yourself can be a frustrating experience. Because they have no proven path to success, so many guitar players get stuck with a limited set of skills...they end up settling for being far less accomplished than they set out to be...and many ultimately quit. With no one to guide them through challenges or show you how to practice and apply information trying to learn guitar feels like being stuck in
the mud.
I know exactly how you feel, and I have the solution for you!
