On Learning Guitar Where's the Guarantee?

What a place the world wide web is. So much information. So much knowledge. So much, um - stuff to wade through.

To look at the many commercial Guitar websites out there, youd swear a Satriani was being born every minute. The sites scream out at you play like a pro, insider secrets revealed, master Guitar in 30 days guaranteed Amazing. In fact, all the Guitar systems out there seem to be guaranteed. But guaranteed to what? Have you play like a pro? Have you play a song start to finish?

Actually, theyre guaranteed to the extent that if you return them within a specified time-frame, youll be refunded your money. Thats it. Thats all. Theres no actual guarantee that you will play Guitar. There cant be. Youre a human being. Theres no guarantee on anything.

Thats not to say that you shouldnt aspire to learn Guitar. Its the most wonderful instrument in the world. Go into any local music store and watch the wizards wail, on electric or acoustic. Will you get there? Thats not certain. There are so many variables.

your natural musical inclination
your manual dexteri ty
your musical ear

Those are some of natures gifts (or lack of) which will affect the outcome. Then there are the more physical, down-to-earth factors:

your budget
your time constraints
the rest of your life outside Guitar

Everyone would love to play the Guitar at some point in their life. Thats a fact. The ultimate level of ones success on Guitar is dependent on all the above factors and more. Lessons are never a bad idea, if you can af ford them. Practice, of course, is the only way to improve. Teaching aids such as those found on the internet can be a help. Watching Guitarists (and musicians generally) in action can be an eye-opener and motivator. What it all adds up to is theres no guarantee.

But what about those novices or frustrated players who just cant seem to find the zone? Where the very basics of the instrument seem to be a hindrance. All of the books, all of the coaching, all of the websites and their systems and aids, that dont seem to help. Where progress is limited. Those are the ones I love to pick up. Ive seen them all. From housewives, to six year-olds, to frustrated veterans, even good Guitarists who just want to get better. Ive got the way that is actually different.

My site has the same guarantee as everyone elses if you dont like what you bought, return it and youll get your money back. What I also am able to guarantee is that my system, Guitar-eze, is truly easier. Especially at the outset, when most of your chords are played with one finger. Guitar-eze focuses on open-D tuning. You build from there; theres way less to memorize, and less fingering technique to master upfront. Its easier. Guaranteed.

Frank Foxx is a semi-professional Guitar player and part-time Guitar teacher who plays exclusively in the tuning of open-D. He has written a Guitar method book, extolling the virtues of what he considers to be the most versatile and easiest of all Guitar tunings, entitled Guitar-eze A Simpler Approach to Playing the Guitar. His website is http://www.easierGuitar.com. He keeps a blog at http://open-d.blogspot.com dedicated to helping Guitarists and aspiring Guitarists see the light .
