There's a good chance you've been using ineffective learning method - or just winging it with random videos. Our courses are designed to target all the things you're currently getting stuck on, plus we'll be here to help you one-on-one the entire time. Your success is guaranteed.
It's likely not any issue with your natural skill, it's definitely just an issue with the techniques you've been taught - or tried to guess at on your own. There are probably a few subtle changes to your current bad habits that can be very quickly fixed.
Yes and yes. In fact there are lessons on these exact things in the courses. We know exactly what you're struggling with and we've guided thousands of guitarists through it. We'll do the same for you.
Guitar becomes so much more fun once you pass the "beginner's trench" - the term I came up with for the difficult stage at the beginning where your chords are slow to switch, your strumming feels awkward, your fingers can't stretch to reach that C chord and the F chord feels totally impossible. Just stick with it and do our daily practice - you'll be confidently strumming in no time!
You can ask questions at any time and get tips and advice that will improve your playing instantly. If you're struggling right now, there are likely a few small issues with your technique. They're easy to fix, but if you don't know what they are - you can't fix them. We'll show you exactly what to do.
Not at all! Guitar is a great retirement hobby. We have hundreds of guitarists in their 60's,70's, and 80's in our courses - all making excellent progress.
Hand stretching and mobility exercises are part of the courses to get your fingers moving quicker. These are useful for all ages and I do them daily myself.
Yes! There's a quick complete beginner crash course included for brand new guitarists. You'll start there and then to do the 30 day challenge to get clear, fast chords and confident strumming
Right now our courses will take intermediates to an advanced level, but we don't have courses for "advanced" level players. But it's a subjective ranking. Just use the free trial to see if the courses are useful to you. If not, no worries.
100%. Your payments are protected and fully encrypted. Your personal information is private and never shared.
In short: step-by-step lessons and personal support. Youtube lessons don't follow any order and you don't have anyone to ask questions to or help keep you motivated. This often leads to a lot of confusion and feeling like you're going in circles
Definitely. When you practice the right things at the right time, you improve faster. We tell you EXACTLY what to practice so you don't waste time searching for information. This is perfect for busy people looking to make the most of their practice sessions.
1. Our program is structured better. We give you daily practice plans that tell you exactly what to practice each day to progress the easiest. Most programs show you how to do a technique but don't clearly lay out what to actually practice.
2. Unmatched personal support from real expert teachers. We have real teachers here to guide you every step of the way. Submit videos of your playing and ask questions any time so you're never stuck and you don't have to go at it alone.
And you get unlimited access to all of them in this program

- Charles Giarratana
"I enjoyed it very much, very clear and easy to follow and I will continue to use these techniques I’ve learned."
- Phil McCaffery
"I really am enjoying the process and feel slight improvements each time. It’s a good course mate & I am getting a lot out of it. I’m enjoying playing again."
- Grant Regan
"I’m not getting any younger, the band I joined is doing only a handful of gigs this year so, with the other guitarist in the band have decided to get out and play some covers and some of my own songs. So to get in shape I signed up to half a dozen courses but yours is the only one that I’ve found of use"
- Cliff Wright
"Your process made a great impact on my ability to change the chords more quickly, but I also found that the quality of my finger placement had improved so chords sounded good much more consistently. Thanks for the outstanding help I look forward to beginning work on your complete system"
- Bob Radder
"I learnt more in the last 14 days than I have in the last 40 years. I picked up a guitar at the age of 16 and have owned at least 5 since and never managed to play well. I would get to the same stage in learning chords and in frustration give up. I feel know that I have moved forward enough to keep playing and want to improve more and more in time"
- Charlie
"The challenge has brought me to a point I never thought possible, I've only just started to play acoustic guitar and had never even try to play, I always wanted to learn acoustic guitar all my life but never got around to it, I feel I picked the best teacher for this. I'm very happy and will continue to have lessons from Kurt, he is a great talent and I feel very comfortable learning with him."
- John Hopkins
"I really enjoyed this course. It was well organized and produced. I’d recommend it to anyone looking to improve their technique or get over the hump trying to learn to play clear chords and progressions. Kurt is an effective teacher and communicator. He was very clear when describing what we should be doing in our practice sessions and what we should be striving for. The lesson plans were a key component to organized practice sessions."
- Oscar Krieger
"I really enjoyed this. The chords are simple - I've been playing them on and off (mostly off) for 40 years, so I'm not exactly a beginner. The benefit for me was the focus on finger placement to avoid muting strings and switching chords more quickly. I had not focused on technique since the early 90's so this has been refreshing."
- Kevin Kreider
"One word: AWESOME! I'm still not perfect on my chord progressions, but I'm definitely much further along that when I started. This challenge showed me that I don't need to spend hours at a time practicing something in order to master it. The small 5-minute lessons and 15-20 minute practice were manageable chunks to really focus on before proceeding. It just simply works!"
- Christie Nicklay
"Very good, excellent way of motivating me to practice every day in an efficient progressive manner, emphasize both accuracy then speed. I've made progress with a strategy and template to learn more. Thank you."
- Vanessa Leonard
"It’s great. It gave me the structure I needed, and kept the work manageable in bite-size 5-minute pieces. It made me a more confident guitar player/student. "
- James Scalzitti
"I think it was excellent and wish I would have taken it earlier in my journey"
- Janna Williams
"It was amazing. I just started learning 6 weeks ago and this had helped tremendously."
- Gary Pasek
"Great course. Really helped me with both playing the chords and changing chords more smoothly. Very happy with the progress I made though this challenge. "
- Mark Durinsky
"It was great. I made great improvements and I liked the daily workouts/tasks laid out. Very simple to follow and it gives you a nice structure for breaking down and learning new chords and chord progressions."
- Nick Vandersluys
"I thought it was excellent. It was easy to follow and Kurt didn’t make you feel like you should know what you’re learning already and speed though the lesson."
- Ken Bouchard
"Great course. More than just teaching me what I needed to know to progress it provided me with easy to remember lessons to practice on on my own."
- Matthew
"It was perfect."
- Louis Alejandro
"It was solid and fun to focus on a few cords, start slow and increase speed. I liked the presentation and the positivity in the presentation. Good supportive coaching, thanks!"
- Joseph Cunnane
"I have been a dabbler foir many years. Your short courses are the key. I was a firefighting instructor for many years, short sessions resulted in better retention."
- James Ghi
"This was a great challenge!! It has greatly improved my chord changes, and a structure that was simple and effective, Glad I signed up for it thank you!!"
- Jason Gingras
"I thoroughly enjoyed this challenge. It delivered results from day one."
- Steve Spratling
