• You need to know your BASIC chords.
• There are the 15 of them
• You need to know how to tune your guitar. (even professionals sound lousy out of tune)
• The best way is a guitar tuner but there are other ways as well.
• You need to know how to strum.
• You have to hear strumming — you can't learn it from a book alone. And it has to be easy to understand.

Now let me tell you a quick story.

When I was nine years old, my parents bought me a model airplane. It wasn't like the ones they have now that snap together. It needed glue.

But, they forgot to get me the glue.

5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons Is The "Glue" You Need To Put It All Together

This method is purposely set up to be so easy that you'll begin playing right away.

What About Guitar Lessons?

Nothing can ever replace having an experienced teacher with an excellant rapport with their students. But the truth of the matter is most guitarists are self taught.

When I began playing (back in the mid sixties - I'm revealing my age!), I started out teaching myself. My dad had a guitar, but he played what was called "Hawaiian" guitar. It's basically what is referred to nowdays as "Dobro" which uses a slide or a steel bar instead of your fingers. He graciously allowed me to reset his guitar where I could play it with my fingers. But, because he played a completely different way, he couldn't show me anything but I certainly had his blessing.

A neighbor down the street helped me out a bit by showing me a few chords and a couple of songs. I figured out a bunch of stuff on my own and I practiced all of the time.

My parents saw that I was commited so they enrolled me in guitar lessons. For the whole first lesson the teacher pointed out everything that I had learned wrong. And it felt like everything I was doing was wrong!

The next week I didn't go back.

Luckily, the music store phoned and asked me why I didn't show up. When I told them, they told me to come back the next week and they would have a different teacher for me. I did and he was absolutely GREAT! I owe him soooo much. He taught me what I wanted to know and what I needed to know. He also taught me how to play by ear and to trust my ear.

The next year he wasn't teaching anymore so the music store gave me another teacher. This guy wanted to teach me how to play jazz. I was sixteen and wanted to play rock music. I only had one lesson with him as well. (As a side note, when I was in my twenties I studied classical guitar with a private teacher)

The important point I want to make is that if you take lessons, you absolutely must like your teacher and the teacher must be able to teach you what you would like to learn along with any additional knowledge such as how to read music, tablature, scales and music theory as well as good technique (there are major benefits).

As I said, the vast majority of guitarists are self taught. They can't play anything out of a guitar book, but they can sit down and chord and strum song after song. If you were to ask them how they learned to play the guitar, most of them would probably shrug their shoulders and say that they "just picked it up."

Getting started is tough. Most of them would agree that it would have been a lot easier with a quick and easy to understand way to learn to play.

In fact, virtually every guitar player I've showed my book to says, "I wish I had this when I started!"

If you are like most people, you want to be able to play Neil Young or Green Day or Avril Lavigne or Johnny Cash or The Eagles.

Do you know what these artists have in common?

Their songs use the same chords. And they use the same rhythms. 

Just imagine yourself being able to play their songs or whoever is your favorite artist is? Wouldn't you love to be one of the people sitting around the campfire playing? Or, at a party and having people awed and having fun watching and listening to you play? Or playing in a band? Or writing your own songs?

Imagine how great you'll feel.

Remember that there was a time when your favorite guitar player was right where you are right now — wanting to learn to play the guitar and not quite sure where to start.

5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons

This e-Book reveals the most focused formula for success that it's absolutely GUARANTEED to get you playing immediately.

Imagine yourself quickly and easily learning to play the 15 "must-know" chords along with 5 of the most common strumming rhythms. Every chord and every rhythm has a link to one of the 16 audio files so that you can be 100% assured that you are doing it right.

You'll quickly get the results most beginners only hope for and you'll have fun doing it!

Here's A Summary Of The Benefits You Receive.

• No experience is required 

• This method is for the out-and-out beginner. It begins with the assumption that you know nothing about a guitar except what a guitar looks like.

• Acoustic or the electric guitar.

• Some books try to imply that there is a difference between the acoustic and the electric. The instruments look different but the basics are the same.

• The 15 "Must-Know" chords

• Every guitar player, regardless of the music style must know these chords. Rock, country, classical, world or jazz. Everyone. These are the same chords that are in the pamphlet however the difference is, you'll learn these chords beginning with the easiest ones first. 

• 5 different ways to strum the guitar with links to MP3 files

• Strumming patterns are crucial. This starts with the basics. Five real-world patterns that are used by experienced players and pros all the time. But you can't learn them by reading a book. You have to hear them to know what they sound like when you are playing them right.

• Special help with the F-chord

• Most chords are quite easy to play, however the "F" chord is tough for everyone. Truthfully, I almost quit over this chord. The good news is that once you learn the "trick" you'll master it in only a couple of weeks. I struggled for three months. You won't have to.

• How to get your guitar in tune

• Tuning is a learned thing. I highly recommend a electronic guitar tuner (they start at around $20.00). This book gives you tips on how to use your tuner as well as other ways to get your guitar in tune.

• Understanding guitar TAB (short for tablature)

• Music stores and the Internet have guitar TAB books and websites with a wealth of information. TAB is a system that tells you where to put your fingers when you want to learn some guitar riffs or leads. 5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons gives you the basic understanding for that system. 

• Power Chords

• Power chords have been used in Rock music since the 50's. Now they're found in all styles of popular music. They're easy to play but most people don't realize that there are a few ways to play them. This book shows you the three ways.

• Learn about counting and keeping time

• All musicians and bands count time. In fact, when musicians are playing together and when each player's counting is 100% in sync with the other players, the music or band is referred to as being tight.

• You'll learn to say the chord names properly

• As an example, you would learn that the "Am" is actually said "A minor" (of course now you already know that!)
  

• Be completely confident that you are doing it right

• The book has detailed explanations on where to place your fingers and then you can link to the audio MP3's to confirm that everything sounds great.

• The book is instantly downloadable
  
• You don't have to wait. You can start right away and hear all of the audio files online.

Exactly How The E-book Works

Each lesson teaches you three chords, one strumming pattern and then has a play-along track to help you become at ease with changing the chords quickly and smoothly.

Smooth as grease!

Each lesson links to three audio MP3 files.

Each link in the e-book is a live link so you simply place your mouse over the "Track" and click. Your Windows Media Player or your default player will automatically load and play the MP3 file. Please note that this book requires Windows Internet Explorer.

The first MP3 in each lesson lets you hear how each of the three chords sound when you have your fingers and thumb in the right position and you play the chords properly and cleanly. You need to know what "right" sounds like.

The next link takes you to the strumming pattern. Each strumming pattern has a visual explanation in the e-book and when you link to the audio MP3 file you'll hear exactly how it sounds. No guessing.

Finally, the third part of each lesson has a play-along track that'll help you practice each of the chords and rhythm in a simulated situation. It's like playing along with other musicians. At first you'll be a little slow at changing the chords in time but just practice. In no time you'll be able to change the chords quickly and effortlessly. 

Each lesson is step-by-step, to the point and easy to understand. It's been tested and it's tried and true.

Frequently Asked Questions

The following are the most common questions I get asked about the e-book.

Q. Will "5 Easy Guitar Lessons" work for me?

A. If you are serious about learning to play the guitar then the answer is a definite, YES. The difference between this book and essentially all of the other guitar methods is that this book focuses on chords and strumming.

The other books gear towards teaching you notes either by you learning to read music or by TAB. You don't need to learn either with this method. Just look at the pictures and diagrams, read the explanations and listen to the linked audio files.

Q. Is this book for anybody who wants to learn?

A. Truthfully, no. It is designed for the absolute beginner. If a person already has been playing for 6 or 7 months, it's possible that they already know what's in this book.

5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons is really designed for someone who is just picking up the guitar or who has just purchased a guitar and who is looking for a method that will fast-track them to learning the essential chords and the basics of guitar strumming.

You will know and be comfortable in your playing in only a few weeks. In this few weeks you will learn what takes most novice guitarists several months of floundering around to learn. And you can be confident that you're doing it right.

* Special Note: If you have been playing a few months and you think you may be beyond 5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons, you should probably invest in the "Quickest-and-Easiest-Way-To-Learn-To-Play-The-Guitar." For the extra few dollars you'll learn the 28 most frequently used chords and 14 different strumming rhythms. It's well worth the additional amount. (See Bonus 3 on the "Home" page)

Q. What makes this book different from other books?

A. Essentially all other books are based on the "Mel Bay Guitar Method" which had it's first printing in 1948. That was during the "Big Band" era. Back then, in order to play the guitar (as a pro) you had to read music, so guitar was taught basically the same as every other instrument. You learned to play the notes on the guitar by learning each note's finger position. Eventually chords and strumming were introduced.

***  When I spoke to you earlier about my teacher that taught me so much, learning from this book was part of my lesson but you absolutely must have a teacher to guide you through the book. Although excellent, it is not a teach yourself method.

Here's the big difference. When you watch an orchestra or even a school band, everyone is reading music.

When you watch your favorite band, nobody is reading music.

Q. What about guitar TAB?

A. TAB is simply a finger placement chart. It is a great system but nobody can learn to play by TAB alone.

5 Easy Guitar Lessons is based on diagrams, photos, written instructions and each segment is linked to audio MP3 files so you can hear how each component should sound when played correctly.

You'll hear how each chord should sound and hear how each rhythm will sound. That's why someone should take lessons. So you can hear how it'll sound.

Q. Why should I buy this book when there is so much free stuff on the Internet?

A. The Internet is a great resourse. Use it. However, the freebies are there in hopes that you will purchase something else.

From my own experience I have found that most free things on the Internet seem to be lacking something. It's like they don't give you the whole key.

Using my own site, I'll give you an example. Anyone and everyone is able to go into the Free Resourses for Beginners (click at the top of the page). You can print out the 15 "must know" chords and various other tips on playing and caring for your guitar.

However the "meat and gravy" is in the MP3 audio files that allow you to hear what it should sound like.

Anything that has true value is worth an investment. Plus, if you are investing your money into something, you'll pay closer attention to it.

Q. 5-Easy-Guitar-Lessons is so inexpensive, why don't you just give it away?

A. While we would love to do this, there are costs involved with doing business online. We are continually updating the website and adding more information that we believe will help you.

The small price we charge for our book is about 1/3 of the price you'll pay for just one lesson and you'll get playing right away.

Q. Is there a Money Back Guarantee? (also see further down the page)

A. Absolutely! We give you our 100% guarantee that if you try this method and for any reason it doesn't work for you send an email to mail@5-easy-guitar-lessons.com and your refund will be processed for you. This means you can try the guitar method "Risk Free" for 30 days. You can't lose.
