Book Description: An AMAZING NEW LEARNING METHOD takes you where no other guitar course can! WHO ELSE Wants To Take Advantage Of A Revolutionary Breakthrough To Speed Your Learning And Take You To A Level of Guitar Playing Not Possible Until Now? Welcome Fellow Guitarist, I have something important to share with you! The headline at the top of this page isn't BS, I HATE HYPE and I won't lie to you. I really DO have a new way to teach you to play the guitar. I hope you'll take a few minutes to read some of this page.
My name is Ben, and I've been teaching people to play guitar online for four years and I have seen first hand the problems that people have learning to play. I'm passionate about my playing and am constantly honing my skills. After working with more than 35,000 students, getting their feedback and revising my course a number of times, one thing has become crystal clear: no ONE teacher has all the answers, and to become a truly great guitar player you need to learn from more than one person.
The more I thought about it the more I realized the truth in that statement and that while I could give a student ALL the knowledge and training they need to MASTER the guitar, learning from a number of teachers with different skills and styles takes playing to an entirely new level. It was so logical that I wondered why I didn't think of this before! I guess that it's like a lot of things though, the solutions are really simple, it's just getting there that's the hard part.
So here's what I did. I made a list of all the different skills that I felt were important to be considered an awesome guitarist. Then I added the skills and techniques that my students said they wanted to learn. Then I gathered a TEAM of talented guitar experts to teach you comprehensively every one of these skills. Whether you want to play for personal pleasure, play in a band or write and perform your own songs, my TEAM of guitar masters will teach you everything you want and need to know.
When I stepped back and looked at it I realized that what I had come up with was a completely new concept in guitar courses, and that NOBODY was teaching guitar this way. I call it "Team Method Guitar Learning" because that's exactly what it is. You learn from a TEAM of guitar professionals who are experts in acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lead guitar, fingerpicking, beginner's techniques, advanced techniques and specialty areas like learning to play by ear.
Learning from my Team will give you everything you would learn in all other guitar courses combined. (And that's NOT just meaningless hype.) We also use extensive video to SHOW YOU the techniques we're teaching you in easy to follow, step-by-step lessons to take you where NO OTHER course can. We also make learning FUN with exclusive software games to give you the skills you need to read sheet music and guitar TAB and play by ear.
There is SO MUCH information in this course that you'll just have to read the rest of this page to see everything that comes in Team Method Guitar Learning. Remember thousands of people just like you worldwide have used my unique multimedia course to fast-track their guitar learning, while having fun in the process, and now YOU can benefit from their learning when you experience Team Method Guitar Learning for yourself to become the awesome guitarist you've always wanted to be.
The Team and I look forward to teaching and working with you. Team Method Guitar Learning takes guitar learning to a new level Learning to play the guitar can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do in your life. It can also be one of the most frustrating things.
See if this sounds familiar? You tried a guitar course but it didn't teach you what you really wanted to learn. Or the course was for beginners and didn't teach you advanced techniques. Or it was just plain hard to follow and stay motivated. No matter what your experience was in the past, or if you've never played a guitar before in your life, you've come to the right place at the right time!
I'll start at the beginning. There I was five years ago, giving private lessons and teaching students to play guitar. Then a friend asked me to teach him to play, and as he was getting into internet marketing he suggested that I consider putting my lessons online. Well as a trained teacher I realized soon after I got into it that I needed to write everything down that I normally just told or showed students. This actually was a lot harder than I thought it would be and the days stretched into months. I ended up spending over a year creating a three book guitar course that had step-by-step lessons, recorded sound files and hundreds of lines of guitar TAB. These took a student on a journey from beginner to intermediate by fast-tracking their guitar-playing skill, while covering every aspect of learning to play guitar. It worked even though I wasn't there in person to help them through it.
When I finally got the course online I got a ton of positive feedback about it from people all over the world who urged me to continue developing it. This caught me by complete surprise as I now had hundreds of students instead of the dozen or so that I could handle at any one time.
After working with THOUSANDS of students in person and online and seeing what problems they had learning to play, I realized that as good as these books were, they weren't enough. I KNEW I could come up with an even BETTER way to learn guitar.
Now, three years later, I have taken guitar learning to a whole new level. Imagine that instead of getting lessons from a single teacher, that you had lessons from an acoustic guitar expert, a rhythm guitar expert, an electric lead guitar expert, a music theory expert AND others? After working with these people how good would your playing be? Well that's EXACTLY what you get with my new guitar course. It's called "Team Method Guitar Learning" because that's exactly what it is. You learn from a team of teachers, not just one.
I have to tell you that I am genuinely excited about Team Method Guitar Learning. Like I said, I HATE hype and I don't want this to sound like hype but I'll tell you honestly that this guitar course takes guitar learning where NO guitar course has ever been able to take you. This is a completely new learning system that takes you from where you are now to the most advanced playing techniques taught anywhere. It teaches you what you want to learn, the really advanced techniques AND it keeps you motivated and learning.
It doesn't matter what level you are at now (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), Team Method Guitar Learning is packed full of quality step-by-step video lessons, play along "jam tracks", games and other resources to get results fast!

Our lead guitar expert will take you through the theory and process of playing lead guitar in 43 step-by-step video lessons.

Studies show that 97% of all guitarists discover that learning how to play guitar isn't as easy as they thought it would be. My Team has tackled the areas that guitarists find difficult and we have produced software games and tools to get you through those hard parts easily. (Actually we think you'll have FUN with these parts!)
You get four exclusive software tools:
Jayde Musica - Jayde Musica teaches you how to read music. You have fun while you improve your score in a game-type situation reading traditional stave music. These are both extremely important skills to have as a musician whether you want to play in a band, for your own pleasure or writing your own, original music. It's of the utmost importance to have the power to read and understand the industry standard of music notation.
Many music and guitar teachers have come to me asking if they can use this piece of software as part of their lessons. The reason: this software game works! It works so well that even the most skeptical musicians and teachers are surprised by its results. You have to see it to believe it and once you have you'll be asking yourself, "Why hasn't anyone else figured this out - it's so obvious?" I'm still astonished by my students' results after using this piece of software.
Another piece of software you get with Team Method Guitar Learning is Guitearit. Guitearit teaches you how to transcribe music!
What's that? I hear you ask. Simply put, this software creates reference points in your mind for you to memorize the 'sound and pitch' of certain musical notes. But how is this of any use to me? Well, imagine going for an audition as the guitar player for a great band. You turn up, get your guitar out and tune it up. The band starts playing a song and you are expected to just start playing along with them, however you don't KNOW the song!? What do you do? The answer is simple, by training your ear you will be able to instantly recognize what chords the band is playing and play along with them! How impressive is that?
You ALSO get Guitar Tuner Pro to get you tuned correctly and keep you tuned.

You can jam with the Team! Ever wish that you could jam along with a band? Like to know how to get started? Learning how to play guitar is like learning how to speak a language. The more you listen to, imitate and play along with professionals, the better you'll get.
Look, NO ONE likes sitting alone for days and days practicing boring drills just to see a slight improvement in their playing. If you're like I used to be, chances are that's exactly what you're doing. Well, I want to tell you about something I discovered that skyrocketed my playing.
It's called "contextual learning" and it's why we have developed the Team Method Jam Track System, because it is very important for students to play and jam as soon as possible, putting what they are learning to use.
You get to play along with the Team! Unlike other courses that use computer based music for play-along practice sessions, I have personally selected some of the best professional studio musicians, and we have recorded and produced these quality Jam Tracks so YOU can jam with the Team Method Guitar Learning Band. We put together THREE CDs of Jam Tracks for you to practice and jam with.
After using our Jam Track System you will be confident and ready to start jamming with YOUR own band. Team Method Guitar Learning is REAL value Believe me, with this information you'll learn to play guitar while saving hundreds of dollars in guitar lessons. Even learning in a guitar class costs $30 and hour and you can easily spend up to $100 an hour for private lessons and what do you get? Now imagine what it would cost to get personal instruction from each member of the Team! You'd have to spend THOUSANDS!
I think you'll have to agree that Team Method Guitar Learning is THE WAY TO GO. In the future ALL guitar courses will be taught this way, but for now Team Method Guitar Learning is the ONLY guitar course like it in the world.
By learning from our Team of experts you'll learn the secrets of how to play guitar by ear (as well as read TAB and off the staff), you'll be enjoying a new, more enriched and passionate musical experience, which will allow you to create guitar music spontaneously and with confidence. You'll take your guitar playing to a new level of musical performance, while mastering all aspects of playing the guitar.
Develop YOUR Own Style What's the use of learning tons of skills and drills and OTHER peoples' lead licks if you can't have your 'own voice'. Think of all of your favorite guitar players, they all have a style, or a 'sound' that guitarists want to copy. The legends don't all sound the same do they? (If they did then it would be such a boring world to live in!)
I truly believe that it is absolutely essential that you are empowered with the knowledge and skills to be able to CREATE your OWN voice and sound, your OWN personal lead licks and ideas, and this is another reason why the Team method is the best way to learn to play guitar.
When you learn from several people you aren't subjected to the same style lesson after lesson. When you learn from a Team you don't learn to play like any one teacher, instead you get a well-rounded education and sense of style. This makes developing your OWN style much easier because you don't have to "un-learn" a style or get out of a rut that you were in after learning from a single teacher.
We will show you how to play like the legends, but we will also give you the skills and tools to develop your own sound and become a legend yourself. Unlike other guitar courses, we have not only included a TON of lessons on HOW to develop your own voice, but we give you the support and encouragement you need at every step along the way.
