✊🏻 BRONZE is for beginner guitarists who are learning/playing open chords, basic scales and beginner strumming & picking.

💪 PHASE 1: TRAIN BETWEEN WEEK 1-4

In the first 4 weeks, you will learn, play, perfect and master the same 5 exercises weekly. The aim is to get you playing these skills with your ears closed so you can enter phase 2 with efficiency.

⚒️ PHASE 2: BUILD BETWEEN WEEK 5-9

In the next 5 weeks, you will build your timeless guitar piece using a layering system. Each week you will introduce a new layer and slowly slot it together. Similar to baking a recipe.

🚀 PHASE 3: LAUNCH BETWEEN WEEK 10-15

In the final 6 weeks, you will record, mix, release, film (mobile) and perform (online) your timeless guitar piece. Sounds like a lot but you will have a week to do each area. You can achieve a lot in just one day let alone one week! The final week is to follow up, relax, celebrate and have fun!

A whole day of editing videos for Acoustic Guitar Circlers. Really enjoying putting these together each week. It's been truly awesome seeing everyone's pieces develop along with some amazing light bulb moments along the way!

AND we're only getting started!

Rather than focusing on teaching folks how to play the guitar. I want to help those acoustic guitar players become the acoustic guitarists they've always wanted to be with their own sound, identity and purpose. No more looking over the fence at others wishing to play like this and that. It all comes within!

Keep up the amazing work Alison, Daniel, David & James!

So AWESOME to see Guitar Arranging Bootcampers already getting stuck in, picking their pieces and arranging the first layer. Can't wait to see and hear the end result! Going to be magic 🙌😁🎸

Flipping my mindset and allowing arrangements and compositions to dictate what techniques and theory I learn has been one of the fundamentals in my longevity as a guitarist and musician. I no longer learn or buy something for the sake of it anymore.

For musicians, we've all had a different musical background, DNA and experience. That's why we can never stop learning. The key is to stay true to yourself as a musician and person. Write/arrange for yourself first (mine is through the act of healing) and music creation will stay with you for life!

If you're interested in learning how to arrange a song for solo guitar, come and join the Guitar Arranging Bootcamp start next week: https://www.acousticguitarcircle.com/live

Looking forward to starting a new guitar arranging 1.0 video series this Friday.

Over the next 10 weeks I’ll be breaking a few sections down from a selection of C Major songs. I’ll be using 4 (of 6) steps from Bake Your Guitar Arrangement (acousticguitarcircle.com/free) concept and will layer them up.

Check back this Friday for the first track. And let know what you would love to see/hear.

🎸Guitarist or 🧁Baker? Both in this case!

😀 I LOVE an analogy and I feel using a baking recipe concept has been the best way to learn and teach the song arranging process. Perfect for guitarists and anyone who wants to learn this process.

🤓 I breakdown the whole method into six quick and easy steps. From the recipe to the decoration. I cut out the jargon and weave in some fun - that’s what it’s all about right?

🥳 After teaching this concept to LOTS of pupils I’m confident anyone can pick it up today and start arranging as soon as.

😎 It’s not always about technique and theory. It’s the bigger picture that gets you to the result!

😁 Grab your copy now. And if you’re really keen, you’ll also be invited to the Guitar Arranging Bootcamp when you sign up! More info via acousticguitarcircle.com/free.
