About Free Guitar Chords

Hi, I'm JB. I'm a guitar player and teacher and have been for more years than I want to say here. Let's just say I'm a 60's child.

I love playing the blues. I love minor keys. I love jazzy blues and rocky blues. I like a bit of funk and some hard rock thrown in for good measure. I have even played some country when called upon to do so. Country is not really my cup of tea, although modern country rock I quite like.

But I have had enough of the late nights, loud gigs with a bar full of drunk people, traveling and staying in motels or crappy rooms provided by those that hire us.

I'm getting older and have slowed down a lot. Spending time with my family and grandkids is a priority.

These days, my 'music' time is taken up passing on my knowledge - my 'secret' insider tips and tricks to help others learn how to play guitar for more enjoyment, fun and creativity.

I spend most of my time making video lessons, ebooks and backing tracks for my new membership site at www.Fretboard-Domination.com

I made those videos for my Tortoise Guitar website. Why Tortoise Guitar?... well, learning slow and steady is the way to go. Learning the right things at the right time in a slow and steady fashion will always work better than most hit-and-miss learning styles. It's a lot more fun, too... simply because you can see real progress happening every day. That's very motivating.

My mission...

My BIG passion and mission is to help people truly understand what playing and learning guitar is really all about - passion and knowledge.

I call this the 'Heart and Craft' of guitar...

I also believe passion and creativity are the greatest assets to build. And that can be done easily with the right knowledge... PLUS... they both feed off each other too!

Once you understand creativity and how to apply it, you become more passionate about playing guitar. The more passionate you become, then the more inspired and creative you become.

Of course, we all have our lows and highs. Peaks and troughs. But that's par for the course. Tiger Woods isn't always on top of his game either.

But understanding the guitar fretboard and how music works on it will open the door to more creativity and self-expression than you can shake a stick at.

My 'Theory' On How to Learn Guitar...

Learning guitar is simple if you have a plan. But if you go from one program to another, one book to another, and waste too much time on the internet looking for free stuff like tab and videos, you'll most likely fail and give up. Or, at the very least, you will take a hell of a lot longer to get where you wanna go.

That can be very discouraging. And it mostly leads to confusion and frustration from information overload and paralysis by over-analysis. It all becomes too much.

You become confused and don't know what you should really be working on to make fast improvement in your musicianship abilities.

You spend too much time looking for the 'magic' bullet instead of just getting on with it and doing the practice that you should be doing.

I like to call this the 'Dazed and Confused' Syndrome. (Reference to Led Zep.)

Unfortunately, about 96% of all beginner guitarists become afflicted with this disease.

That means there's only about 4 out of 100 beginners that go on to keep playing for years to come.

But if I can just help 1 of those 96 to see the light, so to speak, and get them doing things the right way to become a good player, then I am a very happy man.

K.I.S.S. - Keep It Simple Stupid!

That's my motto. And if you want to become a good guitar player, it should be yours too. Keeping things dead simple makes it easier to learn what you need to one step at a time.

Along with "Perfect practice makes perfect."

These are my suggestions for you to make the most of your potential and to make a success of playing guitar.

• Sign up for my Guitar Chord Secrets mini-course. Read it through. Then start learning how to apply what you learn from the course. It's free. It doesn't cost you anything except your email address. (I won't give it away or spam you, I promise.) I also explain what I mean by "Perfect practice makes perfect".
• If you are a beginner, then buy just ONE guitar course. One that teaches you to master the basics. One that builds a solid foundation and is fun, motivating and easy to use.
  Click here to see the best 'beginner' course I recommend. It's awesome. I wish it had been around when I was learning. It will set you up for becoming a very good player - and a lifetime of playing pleasure.
• Go to www.Fretboard-Domination.com (my member site) and get a membership. It's not expensive and it's a great way to really get to know the inner workings of guitar.

Do those 3 things and you'll be miles ahead of the pack, I promise you.
