Have you always wanted to learn the electric guitar, but didn't know where to start? Maybe you have already tried several methods on the market, but haven't achieved the results you were hoping for. 

This Beginner Electric Guitar method has been written and refined over many years and developed from real live feedback from many guitar students and teachers. 

The method is gradual and progressive, focusing on one or two key concepts per lesson, whilst providing fun pieces and exercises to play through. 

Each lesson is precisely focused on performing a short piece at the end of the lesson. The pieces contain many of the techniques, chord changes, and physical challenges an electric guitar player would face in the first few years of playing. By condensing these challenges down into 12 short study pieces, this guitar method becomes an ideal training ground for anyone who wants to start playing the electric guitar quickly and efficiently.
