If you’ve ever taught yourself anything without an instructor……you can learn the guitar!
You don’t need a grammy winning songwriter, a 14 day challenge, or a virtuoso to just show you the basics.
And I know how confusing it is to find the right videos on YouTube, as a lifelong learner myself……
So stop making it hard for yourself!
Read below to hear more about the specific steps and songs I’ll help you play in just minutes
— Fretboard Ignition is a 30 page guide with around 20 musical examples with zero fluff or filler. It’s not going to list every chord and strumming pattern that’s ever existed, and it’s not going to teach you how to make Bach pieces. My goal is to get you playing guitar as quick as possible if you know NOTHING about the guitar!
— I will start with the most important thing you must know about playing guitar. Trust me. My students ignored this and spent months trying to learn Metallica without knowing these basic terms….
— I’ll give you riffs that only use a couple of fingers, and don’t require tons of natural talent. However, you’ll feel like you have some after you see how quickly you learn these songs (and no it isn’t smoke on the water!)
— Instead of learning big clunky chord shapes that won’t help you play some rock and metal songs…..I’ll focus on essential easy shapes that are used in tons of songs…..and will help you play your favorite artists like Pink Floyd, Rage Against The Machine, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, and much much more.
— While lots of teaching methods promise you the world, I’ll make an honest promise……I will use songs you know to help you learn sounds and skills you’ll actually need…..and that will actually be useful someday when you become an advanced player
— A huge mistake many instructors make is to not help their students learn how to interpret a guitar tab. Throughout I’ll have secrets of playing chords and deciding on fingerings. This is one of the secrets to getting really good quickly, and to saving tons of money on an instructor.
— You’ll have clearly written instructions laid out step by step, along with tabs and chord charts of everything you’ll learn. You won’t believe how many courses and videos don’t do this, and it’s a mistake that I definitely won’t make here!

I want to be crystal clear……
This is for those of you who are brand new to guitar playing……
Or are utterly lost and can’t make sense of what people on YouTube or Instagram or wherever are saying.
It covers the absolute basics of guitar, and it’s going to go over some basic songs and simple chord shapes to get you to the “advanced beginner” stage of playing.
(the advanced beginner stage is where you’re mostly fine learning by yourself and have a solid repertoire of songs you can play)
This is NOT for you if…..
1) You’re wanting to shred lead guitar licks
2) If you absolutely must have someone helping you in person
3) Quit things on the first try, and refuse to take a few minutes a day to use what you’ve learned
4) If you’re a “visual” learner who hates reading. This is an e-book with very very few videos. Good news? No stopping and starting long videos!
You can spend $100-$200 a month on an instructor who will spend months getting through this material, if they teach it correctly…..
Or you can spend $7 once and have the info forever…..to learn at your own pace.
You can spend all of your time hopping between free YouTube videos…..hoping you’ll remember each and every tip they have (as well as which ones to ignore)…….
Or you can have someone who’s been playing for over 20 years and taught people like you……tell you EXACTLY what to do to learn the basics of guitar as quickly as possible.
You can buy a subscription, a course, or a “customized curriculum”…….and hope that it’s worth the higher costs……hope that it’s got easy to follow videos or writing……and hope that it won’t make you feel dumb…..
OR you can get this short 30 page guide built for speed…..built to help you learn the basics in minutes……and built so that you’ll have an unshakeable foundation in guitar playing skills beyond strumming chords.
I think the answer is obvious……
Whatever course or website you’re thinking of considering other than mine……
I’ve probably already seen it and tried to use it.
Most courses are just glorified sales pitches for expensive “mentorships.”
They leave out everything on purpose in hopes that you’ll get frustrated enough to keep spending money….and keep believing that they have the ONE TRUE SECRET to unlocking the fretboard!
I know what works because I did teach myself. It’s tough……
And I didn’t even have YouTube when I started.
All I had was Ultimate Guitar when it was littered with bad inaccurate tabs, and a book of scales.
I didn’t know what mistakes I was making because no one was talking about them.
For two years I was picking nearly everything I learned the wrong way!
So I just don’t want you to go through the same pain.
There’s no reason why you can’t learn the guitar in much less time than I did…..
And without even a fraction of the same frustrations and setbacks.
I think $7 for all of this is a heck of a deal.
What do you think?
My name’s Matt and I run this site you’re on now, Play It Loud. I’ve been an instructor for over 10 years and have been playing for 22 years now.
Look I know this seems to good to be true. I’m not promising I’ll turn you into Jimi Hendrix or John Petrucci. I’m promising that you’ll learn the guitar in the fastest and easiest way possible without an instructor or scrolling hundreds of YouTube Videos.
Yes! Every single great guitar player was where you are now. The ones who learn and get really good have internalized the stuff I’m revealing in this course. Don’t listen to anyone who says you can’t play because you’re not ready to play Wembley or Madison Square Garden yet.
All sales are final, since you get instant access to everything. But you’re covered by my No-Dead-Ends Guarantee: if this isn’t the right fit, email me within 14 days and I’ll swap it for any other Play It Loud course of equal value. The only way you’ll not play the guitar is if you don’t use what I teach you.
All you have to do is take 1 hour to read the pdf doc I’ll give you access to. Then you’ll choose a few songs that are suitable for a beginner, and practice them for a few minutes. To do that though, you must click one of the yellow buttons on this page!
