The eBook
Guitar Play! Motivation & Practice Available on Amazon
When we’re young we “play” the guitar, as we get older we “practice.”
For many the most difficult part of practicing guitar is opening the case.
Guitar Play! will teach you how to celebrate small victories and turn practice into performance. You'll overcome the distraction of Gear Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S.), put the "Which guitarist is the best?" debate to rest and discover why you really should learn some music theory.
There's a 10-step practice guide, advice on transcribing, the 4 biggest mistakes guitar students make and even some tips for improving your guitar tone. It's time to embrace your authentic voice on the instrument.
The motivation and practice concepts described in this book will have a profound affect on your musical journey and inspire you to keep opening your guitar case.
So let’s play!

"Enjoyable read with useful suggestions for focused practice. We’ve all felt frustrated in the progress of our playing and having an accomplished player share best practices along with the common things that sidetrack (i.e. G.A.S.) us is definitely helpful and motivating."
