What if... Everything You've Been Told About Beginning Guitar Playing is WRONG?

Dear Friend,
I've got a quick question for you.
Have you tried teaching yourself through random books or YouTube videos but feel like you have nothing to show for it?
Do you feel like burning your guitar in frustration whenever you play?
Are you sick of watching your friends and family play guitar with ease while wishing that was you?
Come on... you know you want to be that awesome guitar player... the one that everyone talks about...
Who can play tons of songs with ease...
Or who can play killer guitar solos...
So... why hasn't it happened for you yet?
Come on... admit it.
This isn't the first time you've been looking for a proven way to get started as a guitar player... is it?
When is it your turn?
Unfortunately, you're not alone…
A 2016 study by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation showed that over 90% of beginners quit within their first year of playing guitar. 90%!
Think about all that's out there to help people get started. There's YouTube videos, books, private lessons, group classes, apps, video games, and crazy gizmos that light up the guitar neck.
Despite all these things, 90% of beginners fail and quit within a year!
I don't want that to happen to you.
When you watch this video to the end, you're going to discover exactly what you need to do to successfully start playing guitar… once and for all!
My name is Eric Stone and, not too long ago, I was a struggling local guitar teacher trying to help frustrated beginners just like you in my teaching studio…
When I first started teaching beginners, I used the same tired methods and ineffective books that every other teacher uses. And, frankly, most of my students got pretty lousy results from my teaching back then.
Sure, a few of my students in those days became good guitar players. But most of them struggled.
Back then, I didn't think much about why this happened. You see, it’s not that I was indifferent to the results these people got.
I just naively assumed they were simply too old to start playing guitar. Or that they just didn't have the natural talent or they weren’t born with the right skills to play.
After all, I was teaching them all the 'right things' that everyone else was.
I'm a former schoolteacher with a master's degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania so I thought it should be easy for me.
I even attended the Los Angeles College of Music on a performance scholarship and became an expert in guitar performance and pedagogy.
I eventually moved to Colorado to open my own guitar teaching studio.
But I couldn't have been more wrong back then about how to help beginners successfully play guitar.
I knew I had to urgently do something so I wouldn't have to watch so many people struggle and quit.
I knew I had figure out how to improve as a teacher. I felt terrible because I wasn't helping people achieve their dream of playing guitar.
Later, I learned that most of these beginners actually gave up the guitar altogether and completely quit! It made me feel even worse!
I felt like a total failure as a guitar instructor. I felt even worse about myself since I thought it should have been easy for me as a former schoolteacher.
I knew all the people out there who think it's too late to start playing guitar as an adult. I didn't want to believe it was true but I was teaching the 'right things' to all these beginners, right?
I remember the day I hit the wall. It was a cold Colorado winter night. I had another frustrating day of teaching.
That day was filled with ineffective lessons and even more beginners quitting. I was almost at the point of throwing in the towel and moving on from the whole guitar teaching thing.
That night, I had a strange thought. I wondered, what if the common approach to teaching guitar to beginners was actually ineffective?
What if the way I taught people starting out actually hurt their chances of succeeding?
I was really excited to get back in my studio the next day and see what I could do. I didn't know what I'd do differently. But I knew I had the background and skills as a former schoolteacher to figure this out.
I knew I had to do this quickly so I could help beginners accomplish their dream of playing guitar.
What I discovered next shocked me.
I realized that one of the biggest reasons why beginners get frustrated and quit is that they try to learn too many things at first. I've seen beginners try to learn a little bit about a few dozen different areas of contemporary guitar playing.
You might learn some basic open chords, perhaps a few common chord progressions, some simple strumming patterns, maybe some scales, some basic melodies, a few blues licks, maybe a 12 bar blues pattern, a little music theory, a couple of classic rock or metal riffs, some open string licks, maybe a country lick or two, perhaps some fingerpicking patterns, some ridiculous chromatic finger exercises, maybe how to read music, how to read tablature, metronome exercises, some basic songs, and more.
And, you might be thrown into the deep end with barre chords before there's a slight chance you can actually play them.
I now call this Beginning Guitar Information Overload. When this happens, you don't get a strong guitar playing foundation in place.
It's like you’re trying to build a house without a foundation. The house will eventually collapse, just like your guitar playing will eventually collapse if you don’t have a strong foundation.
Once I made this discovery, I knew I had to come up with a new plan to help people. I needed to look at all the different things that beginners tried to learn.
I had to figure out what was necessary for people to do when starting out. And I had to figure out what could wait for later.
I also had to come up with simple solutions that anyone could do. And I had to make sure these solutions actually fixed what was wrong and ultimately helped people play guitar.
I realized that the most important thing I could do was give beginners the skills they needed to play real music as quickly as possible. And I wanted their guitar playing to sound good from day one.
So rather than panic, I got to work.
I taught thousands of hours of lessons. And I used my real-world experience as a school teacher to come up with a system to help beginning guitar players who were starting out or felt stuck.
It wasn't easy for me to figure out exactly how to help beginners at first. There was a lot of trial and error. I had to do a lot of experimenting. I kept detailed records of the different solutions I tried.
There were times when I couldn't figure out what beginners needed to focus on. Some of my solutions didn't work back then and I sadly wasn't able to help some people at first.
But I kept on going.
I knew I was on to something and I knew I had to do everything possible to help people.
As time went on, I started noticing patterns in the things that worked and what didn't work. As I tried different solutions, I kept what worked and stopped doing what didn't work.
Not only did I figure out exactly what beginners needed to focus on. I also figured out how to help struggling beginners get the guitar playing results they always wanted - once and for all!
As I turned this into a system, I was completely blown away by the results my students were now getting.
My system for teaching beginners is now focused on just three simple areas - not a few dozen. I call this the Beginning Guitar Success Triangle.
As part of my system, we go into a tremendous amount of detail in playing chords, strumming, and playing songs.
Though it sounds almost too good to be true, by the time beginners are finished with my program, they have an incredible guitar foundation in place.
They can play music on the guitar that sounds fantastic. For people who want to play for fun, they have the skills they need to be able thousands of popular songs.
If someone wants to become an advanced player in a certain style, they will be successful. That’s because they’ve built their guitar playing house on a strong foundation.
Sadly, most people never get there on their own without my help.
With my system, beginners who once struggled became successful.
Beginners who were on the verge of quitting finally got the results they wanted.
Beginners went from frustration to freedom as a guitar player after they followed my blueprint.
And, since I created a system, anyone could follow it and get those same results.
Because of this, I was able to achieve my dream of successfully helping beginners play guitar. I saw how simple and easy it can be with the right system.
And, in the end, all of this means that I'm now about to see people experience the joy and satisfaction of finally being able to play guitar.
It didn’t matter if they played acoustic or electric guitar. It didn't even matter if these beginners wanted to have the skills to play thousands of popular songs or become an advanced player.
Now that they had the right foundation in place, they could go as far as they wanted as a guitar player.
After all the success I had helping beginners in my local studio, it became my mission to help as many people as possible from around the world.
It's not enough for me to just help people who happen to live close to me. I know there are frustrated beginners all over the world who have no idea how to get started playing guitar.
I want people from around the world to experience that same success that my students have had over the years.
I want this system in the hands of as many aspiring guitar players as possible.
That's why I created the Beginning Guitar Blueprint. The entire Beginning Guitar Blueprint system is based around the Beginning Guitar Success Triangle.
As you know, it wasn't easy for me to create the Beginning Guitar Blueprint. It took years of poor results for my students. Then it took months of blood, sweat, and tears in private lessons for me to figure out exactly what works best.
Plus I had to use what I learned from my master's degree in education from the University of Pennsylvania and from my years working as a schoolteacher.
The Beginning Guitar Blueprint makes getting started on the guitar so simple that any beginner can do it - regardless of their age, natural talent, or previous experience!
What used to take weeks or months or even years of trial and error for my students, can now happen for you in just 15 minutes per day.
Here's a sample of what's in the Beginning Guitar Blueprint...
*Play easy-to-master songs selected just for beginners so you can finally have a group of songs that you can confidently play for yourself or others.
*At last, get big results in as little as 15 minutes per day so you can stop wasting hours spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.
