I’m About to Publish Beginner Guitar Bootcamp
The subtitle is: Learn 100+ Songs in 7 Days Even if You’ve Never Played Before.
A lot of time went into writing this book, and I am ecstatic with the end result. The title pretty much sums up what the book is all about. The book teaches all the beginner chords, a couple of strum rhythms, and then over 100 songs in a 7-day program.
The book also teaches how to transpose songs in keys you don’t know all chords of, to keys that have the chords taught in the book. As a result: the readers who study the book can not just only play 100+ songs after only 1 week of playing, but literally thousands of songs.
I can’t wait to publish this book. I’m so close.
Anyhow, here’s the book cover:
Here’s the back cover of Beginner Guitar Bootcamp.
This is going to be one of the best, most effective guitar instruction books for beginners on guitar.
I am going to link this book to a series of instructional videos on my new website GuitarVoyage.com that I will be launching in the next couple of months. I’ll post some news about GuitarVoyage.com in next week’s blog.
Here’s a quick excerpt of the book’s introduction:
Congrats on the start of your guitar journey! You’re in for a fun rollercoaster ride.
Can you imagine that, even if you’ve never held a guitar before, you will already be able to play about a hundred songs within a week?
All it takes is:
- Optimism: Feel the joy of having it already accomplished.
- Confidence: Believe that you can do this. Yes, some things will be challenging. Embrace the suck. Find joy in being out of your comfort zone. Keep in mind that outside of your comfort zone is where the best learning takes place, and where you’ll experience the most growth.
- A willingness to learn and an openness to follow directions.
- Persistence and patience.
- Self-discipline and focus.
Self-discipline and focus are incredibly important here to achieve what the book title promises. The most crucial of all the traits mentioned in the list above is focus. You will probably be tempted to skip around the book. I totally understand; I would have a hard time with that myself when excitement and curiosity about the journey kick in. After all, it’s difficult to resist the temptation to randomly thumb through the book, especially if you have an excited, curious mind that’s anxious to find out what songs you’ll be learning later and that’s dying to find out ahead of time what the system is that will make it possible for you to learn so many in such a short time. However, all the time you spend thumbing through the book is time that could have been spent learning. One cannot learn that much that quickly while wasting time.
You will get the most out of this book if you delay that gratification of getting your curiosity satisfied in favor of diligently working through the book, page by page. Keep your focus on the journey. Keep your focus on the process. Stay in the present moment with each word you read and each exercise you perform. With the process being the main focus, work from beginning to end without skipping around unless specifically instructed to do so. Optimally utilize your focus, time, and energy by avoiding the temptation to randomly jump to new sections. The fact I’ve just said the same thing so many times in a row in so many different ways, only serves to emphasize how important I think this is for your progress and results.
All champions and top performers reach their world-class results because they kept their focus on the process. When you focus on the process, the destination takes care of itself. Trying to get a glimpse of the destination ahead of time is a distraction that will only slow down the results you could be getting if you focused on the process instead. This book you’re holding is the map that outlines the trajectory of that process. Following this map is how you will get the extraordinary results that the book title promises.
Anyhow: there is a plan, a goal, a vision, and a strategy embedded in these pages. Whenever you’re ready, take the driver’s seat, and enjoy the ride!
Even though you might never have touched a guitar before, you’re merely days away from impressing your friends, relatives, and loved ones with your playing. Be prepared to see their jaws drop in a couple of days when they hear you rock song after song on guitar.
