If You've Ever Taught Yourself Anything, You Can Learn 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 — I'm 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.

The Promise

Play Real Songs In Days — Not Grinding Chord Charts For Months

Here's What You'll Get When You Buy Fretboard Ignition

A 30-Page Guide, Zero Fluff

Around 20 musical examples, zero fluff or filler. It won't list every chord that's ever existed, and it won't teach you to make Bach pieces. The goal is to get you playing as quick as possible if you know NOTHING about guitar.

The Thing Most Players Skip

I 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.

Riffs For Two Fingers

Riffs that only use a couple of fingers and don't require tons of natural talent. You'll feel like you have some, though, after you see how fast you learn these songs (and no, it isn't Smoke on the Water).

Easy Shapes That Actually Work

Not big clunky chord shapes that won't help you play rock and metal songs — essential easy shapes used in tons of songs, to play your favorite artists like Nirvana, Metallica, Queen and the Stones, plus Michael Jackson, Kendrick Lamar, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift and Megan Thee Stallion. Real songs you actually listen to, not just dad-rock.

An Honest Promise

Lots of methods promise you the world. I'll make an honest one: I use songs you know to help you learn sounds and skills you'll actually need — and that'll be useful when you become an advanced player.

How To Actually Read Tab

A huge mistake instructors make is not helping students interpret a guitar tab. Throughout, I share secrets of playing chords and choosing fingerings — a key to getting good quickly and saving tons of money on an instructor.

Everything Written Out

Clearly written, step-by-step instructions, with tabs and chord charts of everything you learn. You won't believe how many courses skip this — a mistake I won't make.

Songs You'll Actually Play

Real music you listen to — across every style, not just dad-rock.

Is This Right For You? Let's Find Out

It covers the absolute basics and gets you to the "advanced beginner" stage — where you're mostly fine learning on your own and have a solid repertoire of songs you can play.

Yes, if…

  • You're brand new to playing guitar
  • You're utterly lost and can't make sense of YouTube or Instagram advice
  • You want the absolute basics — simple songs and easy chord shapes, in order
  • You'll put in a few minutes a day

Not yet, if…

  • You want to shred lead guitar licks
  • You absolutely must have someone helping you in person
  • You quit on the first try and won't practice a few minutes a day
  • You're a "visual" learner who hates reading — this is an e-book with very few videos (good news: no stopping and starting long videos)

You Have A Choice…

The Hard Way

Spend $100–$200 a month on an instructor who takes months to get through this material — if they teach it correctly.

Hop between free YouTube videos, hoping you'll remember every tip (and which to ignore).

Buy a subscription or a "customized curriculum" and hope it's worth the cost — and won't make you feel dumb.

The Fretboard Ignition Way

Spend $7 once and have the info forever, to learn at your own pace.

Get someone who's played 20+ years and taught people like you tell you EXACTLY what to do to learn the basics fast.

A short 30-page guide built for speed — an unshakeable foundation beyond strumming chords.

I think the answer is obvious…

Here's Why I've Worked So Hard To Create Fretboard Ignition

Whatever course or website you're 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 things out on purpose, hoping you get frustrated enough to keep spending money, believing they have the ONE TRUE SECRET to unlocking the fretboard.

I know what works because I did teach myself. It's tough. 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 the wrong way.

So I just don't want you to go through the same pain. There's no reason you can't learn guitar in much less time than I did — without 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?
