Guitar Mastery Simplified: How Anyone Can Quickly Become a Strumming, Chords, and Lead Guitar Ninja

Chapters 1 through 3
will get you acclimated to your
guitar and prepare you for what we plan on
accomplishing in this book.
 Basically it's our warm-up!  But don't skip it!  There are
reasons why athletes
warm up before a big game!
 

Chapters 4 through 10
are the core lessons that will
carry you the furthest with your guitar playing.
 
They cover
foundational principles that are paramount to being able to play a LOT of songs
in a short amount of time.  They will answer the how’s and why’s to solid
“core” playing.  They are also often times the lessons that are NOT taught
by guitar teachers, either because those teachers have not taken the time to
develop their curriculum, or they don't want to take the necessary time
developing these fundamental skills in their students.

Chapters 11 through 24
focus
on further developing the core that we learned in chapters 4 through 10.
 You will learn a lot of “ninja” tricks to better comprehend the fret
board.  You will understand when and how to play further up the neck.
 You will be introduced to scales and fret board maps that will FINALLY
unlock the mystery of the guitar to you.

Learning guitar is a step-by-step process.  The reason
that so many students have started learning the guitar and then quit was
because of an incorrect order of steps and/or not enough time developing those
core steps.

This book is different.  This time it’s different for
you too.  Each principle will build upon the next.  If you follow this
book in order, YOU CAN NOT FAIL!  

I suppose you could always quit, but I don't BELIEVE that's
the kind of person you are!

So where to start?

EVERYONE
should start on page one and walk through
the book in order.

Advanced/intermediate players may go through some beginning
chapters more quickly. However, don't let your ego move you too quickly.
 There's a wealth of information in this book.  Just because you
understand part of the principle does NOT mean you have mastered everything
about those principles.

The mind that is open to learning will become greater
.
 The mind that thinks it knows everything already
will not grow
! 
It will only be a rock star in its own mind... Even
advanced players
will learn from these core chapters.

Take your time with each chapter.  If you start getting
frustrated, make sure you're not expecting too much of yourself before giving
adequate practice to the specific task you're having an issue with.  HAVE
FUN!

Congratulations for finding this book and THANK YOU for
purchasing it!  By downloading this book, as well as my guitar resources

,
I am allowed to reach people all around the world...and for that I am very
grateful!  

Before
we begin
, I want to let you know a
little about myself and my approach towards teaching guitar.  I have been
playing guitar for over 25 years and have been in numerous bands (rock, metal,
country,
pop
, classical, alternative) during that
time.  I have studied with many teachers and was a classical guitar major
for 3 years before changing my major and graduating with a Music Business
degree. I am a working studio guitarist as well as a guitar teacher,
songwriter, producer and live performer.

I LOVE
playing guitar as a “job” and I am
living
my dream!  
I also
LOVE
imparting others with knowledge so
that they, too, can fulfill their dreams as it relates to the guitar.  I
originally set out to teach a lot of people all over the world with a method
that was fun, painless and to the point.  I have taught guitar on and off
since I was about 17. 

First, I just taught my friends and eventually 100s of
guitarists professionally.  I moved to Nashville, TN in 1990 and
immediately hit the ground running.  My clientele consists of students from
ALL age groups and all walks of life including students, professionals,
writers, producers, artists and record companies.

Since I have always been so obsessed with the guitar,
teaching sometimes up to 65 students a week was not enough!  SO, I started
teaching for free on YouTube.  Last I checked in the fall of 2012, my
YourGuitarSage
YouTube channel at
www.youtube.com/yourguitarsage
has over 27 million views and over 95 thousand subscribers. 

On that channel I have taught hundreds of songs and
techniques in MANY genres of music.  I have received literally thousands
of letters/e-mails from countries saying that they don't have the resources or
money to take one-on-one lessons and that the only way they've learned how to
play guitar was through me, Erich Andreas, AKA “
YourGuitarSage
”. 

Make sure you check out the Resources Page of this book to
get a TON more free goodies and resources to keep you rocking on the guitar.

SOOO…Thank you
for allowing me to guide YOU in this
great learning process.  For that I thankful for this great opportunity!

A word of encouragement
- Some of the concepts that
you are about to learn are quite “thick” with information; you
WILL
be
challenged to do some serious thinking about the guitar.  Your hands will
be as equally challenged.  Many guitar players can mimic other players,
but often times they don't know the “whys” of what they are doing or even how
to be creative themselves.

This guide will unravel much of that.  Your fingers
will be more challenged than ever before.  Your mind will be stretched
much further as well.  There is a reason why babies drink milk from birth,
yet as they grow older, start eating solid food.  This learning process is
the same and it is crucial that you keep that in mind.

Before embarking on this journey, you must remember that you
WILL
get discouraged at times!  You
WILL
get
frustrated – and most likely, you will want your skills to progress faster…and
to that I say,
WELCOME TO THE CLUB
!  Most every musician wants
things to move faster than they typically do.  The greatest guitarists
have
ALL
felt these frustrations and have also felt, at times,
that they were not “cut out” for guitar.  But like all good, worthy
endeavors, we must strive for the mark.

If gold were just a few inches beneath the soil in our own
backyard, we would be digging it up all day and probably wouldn’t appreciate it
much at all.  But because it’s found deeper – and requires considerable
effort to extract it – it’s much more valuable and appreciated
that much
more
!

So be encouraged!

Remember that the time you spend on the guitar
WILL
pay
off!  Have
FUN
and spend as much time as you can
playing
, practicing and honing your skills.  I promise
you
WILL
see
great progress
!!

NOW DIG IN!

Choosing a guitar is an exciting, but sometimes confusing
undertaking because of all the variables that you might feel are
involved. 

What brand is best? 

What type woods? 

Should I get an electric or acoustic?
