Hi everyone,
So after looking at the votes Ive decided to go ahead and do a DOUBLE Workshop as there is a clean tie between HOW and WHAT to Practice and Timing Issues and how to sort them.
I will be running the:
Practice Power: The Ultimate Guitar AND Rhythm Mastery - Timing and Precision on Guitar Workshopstogether as one 60 minute workshop on Thursday 5th December at 6:30pm (GMT).
This will be LIVE on Zoom - and all details will be emailed to you after you have enrolled.
There will be a 30 minute question and answer session after the training where you can ask me anything at all "live" or let me know any questions you have in advance and I will answer those on the training.
We’ll cover simple but essential techniques including:
Practice:
· 🚀Planning your practice sessions – how this is key to quick progress
· 🚀How to actually practice songs in a way that helps you learn them faster.
· 🚀What to do if you are pushed for time and can only manage 10 minutes per day
· 🚀Why “playing” is not “practicing”
· 🚀Exactly WHAT and How you should practice to get maximum results.
Timing Issues:
· 🚀Why timing is so important and how its the key to everything on Guitar
· 🚀Simple adjustments you can make to sort those timing issues once and for all
· 🚀What is actually holding you back from playing those songs you really want to play
I have limited spaces available so I recommend you get booked in asap.
There will be 2 complimentary PDF's available for those that enrol and the replay will be available afterward for you to keep - so you can re watch the training again and again to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.
So I'll add the link to enrol below and enrolment will end on Wed 3rd December at 11:00pm.

Holding off getting some help with your guitar playing?🤷♂️
Heres why most people dont ask for help:
Its 'comfortable' to not have to deal with change, its easier to sit and play the same thing over and over.
Change is 'scary', change is the 'unknown' and no one likes the 'unknown'..🌑
Its easy to stay put, as there is 0% risk involved.
You dont have to step out of your comfort zone at all.
That sounds nice and cosy BUT guess what?
Sitting right there in that 'comfort zone', going nowhere is costing you!
Not in terms of money, but TIME...⏳
Heres an example:
🤷♂️ you are stuck with your chord changing, you look up a solution on Youtube, you find a video, you try what it describes, it doesnt change anything😳.
So you spend some more time looking, same thing again, and again and again🔁
Youve fallen into the 'rinse and repeat' trap so many beginners fall into.
Why is this 'searching for answers online' not working, you ask yourself?
Because youve wasted time searching when if you were given the solution at the start you would have already sorted those chord changing problems and be way ahead by now!
Thats only one example!
Multiply that by 10, learning which chords you should be playing, trying to fingerpick, learning to solo, trying to fix your rhythm problems, the list goes on and on....
I can guarantee 💯 these are problems you WILL hit at some stage.
Say youve spent 30 ⌚ minutes trying to fix one problem, times that by every problem that comes up.
All on your own, with no help, the amount of time youve spent endlessly searching for answers will run into days and then weeks and then months.
Why!❓
With an expert solution at the very start you could easily be playing songs in a few months not trying to fix problems!
Is that not what guitar 'playing' is meant to be?
Having fun, enjoying it all?
Not a search 🔍 after search 🔍session going on forever!
Maybe its time to ask yourself why you are putting yourself through all that when you could be happy, getting help, getting the answers given to you and loving Guitar? 🤔
If you are ready to ask that question then maybe its time to see what it looks like when you can be given the answers to any of your guitar problems.
Comment 'answers' below and ill show you what it looks like to be given the answers you need to play Guitar and the music you love, the way you really want to.🛣️🎸🚀

Nice to get some 'live' vibes from time to time.
When 'The Police' last played N Ireland I missed them, so decided this time (though its only Sting himself) we would definitely go.
Plus 'Blondie' backing him up, looking forward to a good night AND the weather has picked up here as its been crap recently.
Do you play any 'Police' songs on Guitar?
When I was learning I came across a great fingerstyle version of 'Every Breath You Take'.
One of the first fingerstyle pieces I ever learned.
Think I have an old Youtube short somewhere, let me see..
The Police - Every Breath You Take (Fingerstyle) #shorts So heres The Police - Every Breath You Take (Fingerstyle) version. This is only the start but what a great tune to get used to alternate picking. This was ...

Would love to see you there!
Get Playing Guitar Accelerator FREE 5 Day Challange This is the Beginners Accelerator Guitar Program. A proven method to learn guitar and play your favourite music as quickly as possible with 1:1 Coaching to guarantee you get there as quickly as possible!
Give yourself 5 days. Thats it. Its worth a look, right?
Learning how to play the guitar is daunting, trust me.
A study from Guitar world say that 90% of beginners quit playing the guitar with the first 3-6 months….
.due to lack of progress and frustration.
I myself found it hard when I got started almost 37 years ago..🤷♂️
I was frustrated,
There was no YouTube at that time, so I had to learn all by myself, grabbing a bit of this and a bit of that and it was never in any order so I jumped from one thing to the other..
I tried everything…😌
But I just wasn't getting it.
It wasn't until I came across my teacher, Bobby.
He showed me that there is a process and it's not a “mystery” just an individual journey with a certain set of stops along the way.
That was when I started getting the hang of it.
And that is one of the things I will be sharing with you in this challenge.
🚀These are processes you'll not find ANYWHERE..
But you'll be gaining exclusive access to some of these processes when you sign up for the Get Playing Guitar 5 Day Challenge.
Learning how to play the guitar doesn't have to be daunting, or overwhelming, or frustrating
It should be enjoyable where you have fun and have a great time.
And it CAN be if you have someone holding your hand and helping you every step of the way.
Give me just 15 minutes a day of your time for 5 days in June.
And you'll be able to Learn to play the Guitar in 90 Days! when you take this 5 Day challenge and see how the right “roadmap” is all you need.
I would love it if you wanted to join and get help with this so you can see how easy learning Guitar can be with the right steps in place.
We'll be starting off Day 1 with:
✅How to build the essential basics from the outset ie correct plectrum grip,
✅The secret "elbow" trick for chord fast changing,
✅How the BIG connection is the secret to what runs through your entire guitar journey.
The other 4 days will be just as value packed with some crucial advice and exercises you can implement in your playing...🎸
So send me a DM or comment "Challenge" for more info on how to join..🙂
I'll see you on the other side.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you know I will be running a
100% FREE 5 DAY GUITAR CHALLENGE in JUNE.
Whats is all about?
We will be doing a live video everyday for 5 Days in a Private Facebook Group with some cool exercises all based on a simple 3 STEP METHOD that will show you how easy it can be to make quick progress on Guitar and be able to solo in 90 days or less!
How does this work then?
Its all about STRUCTURE.
If you have a structure you can use this process at any stage from beginner to advanced just be "keeping it all very simple" and only working on what you need to work on at any one time.
This is the same process Ive been using for 18+ years teaching and I'm going to share it with you in this LIVE training over 5 nights.
If you want to get in on a completely new way of learning Guitar let me know:
Comment "Challenge" below and I will make sure to send you the exclusive invitation to join the FREE challenge over the next week or so.
Congrats to one of my students getting a Pass in his Rock Guitar Exam Grade 2.. well done!! 🎸
Learning the Blues?
Heres what I find helps me have a pile of choice and makes it so much more interesting:
1. Learn the chords in different positions
2. Learn The Blues, Major and Minor Scales
3. Learn arpeggios
4. Learn a few turnarounds
5. Learn the basic 'shuffles'
6. Learn Hammer Ons, Pull Offs, Slides, Vibrato
You wont believe how much FUN you can have once you 'open' up the fretboard and learn the 'instrument'.
It all comes back to a step by step way to learn Guitar, thats easy and most importantly FUN.
