Dear Friend,

As you read and think about every word of this letter you'll begin to understand how to get the real skills you need to play hot guitar... much sooner than you thought possible.

But perhaps the most important lesson you will learn, is that there are no shortcuts. There are no 'play like a pro in 30 minutes, a weekend, or 7 days' quick fixes. They just don't exist. Don't be suckered in by them.

If you are really serious about wanting to learn and play guitar to the best of your ability in as short a time as possible, then please read on...

The 3 Deadly Mistakes Most Beginners
Don't Even Know They Make!

FACT: Over 90% of beginners NEVER master the basics!

That's because they don't truly understand what the basics really involve...

... You probably think the basics are just learning a few 'basic' chords, a scale or two and away you go - right? And because of this you have just rushed in and started learning those chords and some songs from tabs off the net and/or your mates, or, from some books.

You need understand that the basics are extremely important... especially if you want to set yourself up for learning fast and for being able to play effortlessly with good technique.

There are 3 areas I'll talk about that you need to be aware of and give the necessary daily attention to when learning to play guitar...

1. You will learn how to use your hands and fingers the correct way to avoid excess tension and wasted movement. This applies to the fretting and picking hands. Getting this wrong, (as most do), will severely limit your technique and the speed at which you can play and learn.
2. You will discover the importance of basic music 'theory' of what scales and chords are. If there is a shortcut, then this is it! This basic knowledge can help you learn to play songs 3, 5, 7 or even 15 times faster than those without this knowledge! In other words, you will make more efficient use of your practice time to gain a potent unfair advantage over everyone else.
3. You will also begin to understand how to practice, what to practice and when to practice... rather than wasting valuable time flitting from one thing to another like most beginners. Rather than being like a directionless ship without a rudder you will have direction and purpose and you will achieve your guitar playing dreams very quickly. 

How To Train Muscle-Memory That Allows You To Play Perfectly Every Time - Automatically!

One of the most important aspects of playing guitar is how you train your hands and fingers to do their job. It's better to be aware of this before you develop bad habits that will surely make learning much harder and much slower than necessary. Bad habits can stop you like a brick wall and make your job many times harder. Why take the risk?

Just as a skilled surgeon must have sure, well-trained and practiced hands, so too must you as a guitar player.

You want your fingers to move smoothly and effortlessly from chord to chord and note to note with the precision of a scalpel --just like a surgeon-- without fumbling and without excess tension or tightness. No slips please. :)

1. Practice everything very slowly, accurately, relaxed as you can and as perfectly as possible. DON'T PRACTICE MISTAKES! 
   Forget the idea that "practice makes perfect" and think "PERFECT Practice Makes Perfect" instead. (And always remember to practice very slowly and as relaxed as possible.)
   SLOW-RELAXED-PERFECT - remember that.
   Relaxed means no body or hand or finger tension. Relax your head, shoulders, stomach, legs, arms, hands and fingers. Any tension in your body when practicing will cause long-term harm to your ability to develop technique and can also cause shoulder, elbow and hand injuries if you overdo it.
   Pay very close attention to your body while practicing to ensure you are RELAXED and don't press too hard.
2. Minimize your finger movements to eliminate extra distance fingers travel to the next chord or note position. Shortest distance between 2 points is a straight line.
   Analyze how your fingers move. Do they stick out away from the strings when you move from chord to chord? Do they move away from where they are meant to be going instead of directly towards where they are going?
   DON'T RUSH THIS PROCESS! Slow and relaxed is the key to developing perfect muscle-memory that will enable you to develop an effortless, fast and perfect playing technique. Tension and wasted movement kills everything. It may seem your progress is slower in the short-term, but it will pay HUGE dividends for you.
3. Never press too hard. Remove all excess tension from your fingers, hands and body when practicing. You want a nice light touch. (Too much tension slows you down and develops very bad habits which are hard to undo at a later date.)

How you train your hands and body to react when playing guitar is the most overlooked problem players make. Taking care of this right from the start will save you a lot of time and help prevent injuries. You want to spend your time moving forward... NOT going back and fixing mistakes and bad habits!

The best way to understand and learn about this very important subject is to study with a teacher, or, purchase a book.

One of the best books which you can download straight away after purchase is Beyond Bedroom Guitar. It has heaps of very helpful information you can apply instantly to improve your playing no end.

The website sales page is a bit of a put off, but the ebook has many ideas you can use to help speed up your learning process. There's even tips on how to overcome stage fright!

Discover The Power of How Basic Music Theory Can Make Your Job Of Learning Guitar As Step-By-Step Simple As A B C.

Music follows a structure. That structure is called a 'key'.

There are 12 keys you can play music in. And these keys can be either Major or Minor keys. (Major keys are bright and happy... Minor keys are sad and moody.) For example... C Major or C Minor.

Each key is made up of a scale with 7 notes. And each of those notes has a chord associated with it.

For example... the key (or scale) of C major has 7 notes... C D E F G A B and each of those notes has a chord attached to it.

C major, D minor, E minor, F major, G major, A minor and B diminished. So if you are playing a song in the key of C major, those are the chords that are used.

There are some other chords that are used at times that are "borrowed" from other keys.

The thing is, once you understand the structure of the C major scale, the rest is easy. That's because every other scale (key) uses the exact same structure and sequence of chord types. The exact same patterns and organization... it's just that they are "shifted" to a different place on the fretboard. This knowledge saves so much time you'd be silly to ignore it.

The Magic Number System You Can Use To Play Any Song In Any Key—Instantly!

Once you understand how scales and keys work, you can implement a Magic Number system that gives each chord a number. You can then use the numbers to transpose a song to any other key—instantly—right on the spot!

Just imagine how popular that skill will make you amongst your friends or band mates or even people you want to impress. Powerful stuff.

The Magic Number system is explained fully in the free ebooks I'll give you when you give my newsletter a try.

Make The Basics A Part Of Your Daily Practice Schedule For Amazing Results

The real trick is to be able to play any song in any key at any time. This is the ultimate goal of any musician. And professional musicians practice this every day.

They do this by practicing "common patterns" called chord progressions. And they do it in every key.

The sooner you learn how to do this the better off you will be!

Trouble is, most beginners never learn how to do this. They think it's too hard and boring. They'd sooner have fun learning and playing songs... even if they can't play them properly or completely. But it doesn't have to be that way for you.

So the thing to do is to have a systematic approach that leads from one stepping stone to the next. Work with the basics every day by adding them to your practice routine. Even as little as 15 minutes a day will go a long way to improving your comprehension, skills and guitar playing abilities dramatically. You truly can slash months or years off your learning time!

Of course, the best way to do this is to follow a plan devised by a teacher. But if you can't afford a teacher, or don't have access to a teacher, then there are some excellent guitar courses available online that will give you what you need...

... The best course I have seen to date is Learn and Master Guitar.

It has 10 brilliantly produced DVD's with graduated lessons from beginner through to jazz. It also comes with 5 play along cd's recorded with professional studio musicians. In my opinion this course leaves all the others for dead. It's the course I wish I had when I was struggling to learn guitar back in the 60's. It took a whole year just to create it!

It's not cheap but when compared to paying a teacher or trying to do it all on the cheap, it offers a tremendous saving in time and effort. Well worth the purchase price. You can't go wrong and they have a 100% money back guarantee.
