-Jan Osmond
still unsure? here's some common questions we get...
(Click any to expand)
There's a good chance you've been using ineffective learning method - or just winging it with random videos. This course is 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 course. We know exactly what you're struggling with and we've guided thousands of guitarists through it. We'll do the same for you.
That's exactly the goal of this course, to get you strumming smoothly and effortlessly as quickly as possible. 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.
You can ask questions at any time and you'll get to send in videos of your playing to 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.
Yes. That's how confident I am this will help you, that I'm willing to take this massive risk that you won't want your money back. Now of course you have to actually follow the videos and do the practice each day. I guarantee this will work for you if you follow the step-by-step system I've spent 10 years developing, but you're not going to learn guitar if you don't actually practice.
I played guitar for 2 years and got kicked out of my first band beacuse the method I used to learn was so ineffective. I don't want anyone to go through that - so I want to help as many people as possible by keeping the price ridiculously low
After the cost of ads I don't make any money from running this course, and when you factor the time I spend helping course members I actually lose money. But this course is also about building a relationship with you and us here at 5 Minute Guitar. A good percentage of people who buy this ask to buy my other courses once they've experienced how much they improve in such a short period of time, so that's how this works out for me & the team financially in the long run.
Yes! Many course members like to go back and rewatch the videos after the first 14 days to continue improving
Yes! I do recommend starting right now while you're the most motivated - but you can start whenever you like.
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 course to get your fingers moving quicker. These are useful for all ages and I do them daily myself.
+ I have tried guitar before and not been successful, will this work for me?
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.
+ I've been playing for months already but have been progressing very slowly, will this work for me?
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.
+ I can't change chords very well - my fingers don't stretch and I'm slow to switch - will this help?
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.
+ I want to just play and relax with guitar but can't because I'm not good - will this help?
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!
+ I've gotten stuck before...will the live coaching help?
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.
+ Am I too old to learn guitar?
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.
+ I have zero experience - will this work for me?
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
Do you have lessons for advanced players?
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.
