set of 15 lessons that show you a fantastic system to learn your chords and
basic rhythm. I’m not promising anything more than that.

The onus is on you. You need to practice. Ideally 15 minutes twice a day. If
your fingers get sore, and they will, put the guitar down! Take a break.
Practice in the way I teach you in each lesson and you will make progress.

Do not practice for more than 15 minutes at any one time. Stick to the
exercises while you’re practicing but play whatever you like when you’re
playing. Practicing and playing are very different things.

Good Luck!

PS A common misconception that I hear ALL the time is that you should
learn on an acoustic guitar and then ‘graduate’ to an electric. That’s a load of
rubbish. It’s much easier to learn on an electric and transfer those skills to
the acoustic guitar later.
