Just like it has for 1000s so far and if you are like most students...
You no doubt also want to improve every aspect of your playing...
For many students, they don't just want to fingerpick better but they want to improve...
Strumming, fretboard knowledge, theory, ear training, songs, riffs, and scales...
...And in fact, Peter emailed me the other day to say:
"Dan, I love Fingerstyle 101 and it's helping already. Do you have lessons to help with everything else?"
Well, the good news is, I do...
And if you want to know how to put all these things together in a clear and concise way with a 3-step plan...

Here is how this works...
If you say "yes" today to a test drive of my membership program, you will get these 3 gifts...
100% FREE and they are yours to keep forever
These are the 3 bonuses you will get FOREVER for FREE when you say "yes" today
As one person said about this book...
“I have been playing the guitar for years, but theory has always eluded me as a self-taught player. This book, in the span of an hour, has taught me more than I’ve learned in the last decade. So simple, but so clear and easy to get”.
You get all three of the above bonuses for FREE for simply test driving the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy today...
...So, you might be wondering...
"What exactly is the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy?"
Well, read on to find out exactly how it can change your playing starting today...
In a nutshell, the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™ is a hybrid model of learning guitar that uses the best of both worlds...
Inside you will get:
- The power of the internet, video technology, and the latest in learning psychology, plus...
- The personal touch of a REAL tutor and community at your side every step of the way.
Inside, you will learn the same way my private students do, but at a fraction of the cost.
The Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™ is specifically designed for guitar players who want clear guidance and straightforward explanations every step of the way.
There is no stone left unturned and no guesswork.
If you join, I guarantee you will:
Yes, those are bold claims, but I can safely make these, because...
The Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy has already transformed the playing and, in some cases, lives of hundreds of members already.
This all no matter if you are an absolute beginner or you have been struggling for 40 years.
The "Breakthrough Beginner" plan will take care of you or you can jump into the next level lessons if you are already a confident player.
So, here is another question you might ask:
"How much will it cost and what do I get?"
If you say "yes" to a test drive today, you can get it at the discounted rate of $18.50 for your first month and...
...We will immediately send your free gifts out to you.
You will also get your login details sent to you immediately so you can start making improvements to your guitar playing right away.
Then, at the end of the month, I will email you to see if you want to stay.
If you do, you will then be charged $37 per month, which is a small price to pay for many of the life-changing lessons you will learn.
If it's not for you, no problem, please say "no" below...
...But this is probably for you if you need a plan.
Or if you are fed up with random YouTube lessons...
Or if you’ve had a teacher in the past who was unorganised or who had no idea how to teach you properly...
Or you simply are keen and want to make fast progress on your guitar.
I specialise in teaching those who are aged 40+, with steady pacing and confidence-building lessons as well as songs and techniques that appeal to these players.
If this sounds like you, but you worry you are not cut out to play guitar, fear not because...
Everything is taken care of for you, so you can make the progress you deserve all without the headaches
The lessons are all in video form and are taught in a confidence-building, step-by-step way.
I show you how you can slow them down further, use them with ease and confidently go through every lesson, so you can make great progress...
But... if for any reason you find you cannot stick around, you can cancel easily.
...and you will NEVER be charged again.
This is done with a one-click cancellation button in your membership - meaning there is no need to send an awkward email.
Better yet, even if you cancel, you will still get to keep the 3 gifts forever
Yes, I know, there are some folk who may exploit this but after teaching over 120+ students in person from scratch for over 7000 hours of lessons...
I know that you are probably genuinely interested and desperate to improve your guitar playing, have a plan, and...
...Make the progress you have been dreaming of for years.
Simply put, if you can tune your guitar, you can make progress today because everything is explained clearly and in a step-by-step way...
That's why I'm so confident you will love it.
So if you want to join today, you can do so below...
Normally $37 per month
Take a 1-Month "Test Drive" for Only...
$18.50
Don't just take my word for it, here are some of the comments from members just this past week...
"I wish I had applied these basics when I started playing 40 years back"
Very well-structured lessons which show the instant result when you play.
I wish I had applied these basics when I started playing 40 years back!”
Gilson R.
Thanks for the excellent and achievable plan! It's helping!
I get a bit lost and sometimes discouraged feeling like there is so much to know. Keep this brilliant plan idea coming each month!

Dan I have loved all the lessons and can’t believe how much progress I have made in such a short time, joining Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™ is the best thing I have done to learn guitar.

I should say, this offer is not available anywhere else.
The $18.50 test drive is ONLY available here, and that's a special offer as you got Fingerstyle 101.
Of course, if this offer is not for you, please say "no", but if you are unsure...

10 quick reasons why you might want to join today (plus 3 reasons NOT to join)
Before we get to this, some people ask, is this a scam?
100% NO.
I am a dedicated guitar teacher, a single dad who loves music, surfing, rock climbing, and helping guitarists like you. I employ a very small team and we are super dedicated to making sure you get to be the best guitarist you can be.
Anyway, here are 10 reasons why you might want to try this...
1) Cancel Anytime
There is no contract.
You can end your membership with the click of a button.
No awkward cancellation email is needed. Inside the membership is a "one-click unsubscribe" button which will end your payments immediately.
Ending your membership is as easy as pie.
2) Get the Monthly 3-Step Plan
Frustrated by not having a plan?
On the 1st of each month, I release the brand-new lessons and a step-by-step action to using them.
This 3-step plan gives you clear and precise instructions on using the lessons so you will know exactly what to do to make big progress by the end of each month.
3) Join a Powerful and Like-Minded Community
Support networks such as running clubs, weight loss clubs, church groups, etc. are incredibly powerful.
They work. In the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™, we have modelled those.
You'll join the other members and make progress together. You can comment on every page, learn from others, ask questions, and share the journey together.
We act like a team and drive each other forward like a happy band of musicians.
4) Get the 14-Day "Breakthrough Beginner" Plan So You Can Hit the Ground Running
Ever felt overwhelmed by learning guitar?
Fear not, when you join the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy, the 14-day "Breakthrough Beginner" plan will ensure you get started with clarity and confidence...
...Setting you up with the membership and for the rest of your guitar playing life.
If you have struggled before, or believe you are not good enough, prepare to transform your playing in these 14 days.
5) Get Priority Support From Me
Help will always be on hand.
As a perk of the membership, you get my priority help and support - always.
Just send me an email and I'll answer your questions and point you in the right direction in double-quick time.
Obviously, I have a life. I’m a dad to Archie (a wonderful 6-year-old boy), and I have hobbies, surfing, rock climbing, but I usually respond within 12 hours.
If you join, I will have your back, and you will have my support.
Before we carry on, here are 3 reasons why you should NOT join...
If you're reading this, it's unlikely you will.
Okay, so I hope the above puts off the wrong people, now here are five more reasons the right people might want to join.
Read on if you are still unsure...
6) See Improvements in 12 Minutes
That's a bold claim I know.
Yet, in the very first video, I reveal something taken from a 150-year-old classical lesson that instantly reduces finger soreness while improving dexterity...
...But it's something most modern guitarists never learn.
...And that's just the beginning in video one.
The other lessons will help you transform your technique, chord changes, and finger soreness, and if you follow them, you will get many lightbulb moments at your fingertips.
7) Become an Impressive, Confident Intermediate Guitarist With the 1-Year Plan
I don't teach many private students anymore (despite having an 18-month waiting list).
...But those that I do teach get my long-term plan.
So do you.
In the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™, you'll get the exact plan that takes you from beginner to confident intermediate in 6-12 months.
Each video lesson is recorded, ordered, and structured.
...but instead of spending $3k a year like private students do, you get it as part of your membership.
You will get all the lessons needed on effortless technique, the fretboard, ear training, theory, jamming, songs, and more.
8) I Make It Hard NOT to Desperately Want to Practise Every Day - Even If You Worry About Not Having Enough Time
"Addictive lessons that are hugely motivating".
That is what one student said recently about the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™.
I've studied the research on how to make learning fun so you get quick and rewarding two-minute challenges, a fun leaderboard, practical quizzes, and much more...
It's all to get you logging in more and making more time to play, so you no longer feel guilty about not practising enough.
All this means you’ll be getting a lot more for your money and you'll make more progress.
9) No Matter Where You're at, the "T.E.S.T. Method" Means You'll Always Be Taken Care of
No matter if you are an absolute beginner, struggling beginner, or early intermediate player...
...You'll always be taken care of every step of the way.
How?
The "T.E.S.T. Method".
There's a massive imbalance in the world of guitar tuition... But like a slightly less pointy-eared Yoda, I always aim to bring balance to this force.
I do this using my unique system called the "T.E.S.T. Method" which is the bedrock of my teaching and is an acronym for:
- Technique
- Enjoyment
- Specific plans
- Time management
The "T.E.S.T. Method" is backed by over 7000 hours of my teaching experience in person and feedback from tens of thousands around the world. (See my 1000+ Amazon book reviews for more on this).
The T.E.S.T. Method is what I use to take students from frustrated or confused to being able to play elegant music in a confident way, no matter what your skill level.
10) Finally, This Is a Genuinely Limited Time Offer
Two things...
1) The $18.50 "test-drive" offer is only available here and today and that is because you have Fingerstyle 101.
2) I’ve only ordered 100 copies of the Guitarist Get Theory book from my publisher. I’m literally just trying this offer out. Once the books run out, I might order more, but the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy™ keeps me busy enough as it is, so I might not offer this.
Instead, I’ll probably just replace this page with an offer to join another standalone course of mine, which doesn’t involve nearly as much work for me.
So, if this does appeal to you, and you want to make big progress on the guitar today, this week, and beyond...
Then say "yes" below...
Normally $37 per month
Take a 1-Month "Test Drive" for Only...
$18.50
Now, I know we all have a budget, but here it will cost you...
Less than $1.24 a day to get access to thousands of dollars' worth of professional "hand-holding" guitar instruction
Just out of curiosity, I searched what you can get for $1.24...
...And I found this car air freshener for the same price.
Well, what is more exciting…
A cheap car air freshener OR taking your guitar playing to a new level?
I am guessing it’s a no-brainer, right?
Especially as...
I'm not asking you to decide today whether you want to be a permanent member of the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy…
Simply try it without any obligation whatsoever...
...And let the value of the program speak for itself.
Just think of the wonderful moments when you will be able to get "lost" in the music...
Play beautiful songs that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up...
Make your loved ones feel proud and in awe of you when they hear you play and...
Your friends may just be full of envy as they hear you play stunning music...
All of this, and so much more, is possible.
No matter if you "feel you are too old to learn" or like you are lacking talent.
Many other members are making the progress and having the fun you probably dream of.
NOTE - The price is in U.S. dollars simply because 90% of readers are from the U.S. You will be charged the conversion rate in your local currency if you are not in the U.S.
Finally, I want to address an important point...
Some people try to get you to think you can do this on your own, or use YouTube, or get a book, or even a teacher.
That can work, but let me ask, has it worked for YOU before?
Have those many wasted hours sitting on YouTube or browsing the net, clicking videos here, there, and everywhere... Have they helped?
Or did they make your frustrations worse?
Where will you be in 6 months or 6 years' time carrying on as you have?
It's a tough question to ask...
...But the chances are you will have progressed at the same rate as you have now, and that's if you're lucky.
For some, they reach a level of playing, where they are able to play one or two songs, but the notes buzz and the changes are awkward, and they stay there at that level...
...Or worse, despite years of painful playing and trying, you know deep down it just isn't musical, and sadly no one ever compliments your playing.
So instead of sitting there night after night wishing it would all "click", and being envious of those who make it look easy, why not get a proven system for learning...
Play beautiful music, open up a new world of fun, and be part of a small but special community...
One that will give you joy and help you progress today, tomorrow, and for years to come...
How does it work?
When you say "yes"...
You will instantly receive an email with your login details.
You will then log in and get full instant access to the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy and the "start here" section.
Here you will see a short welcome video and orientation section ensuring you get up and running right away.
The membership is clearly laid out and a breeze to use.
Normally $37 per month

Here you will find motivating fun lessons, messages to encourage you, quizzes to test you, the "Leaderboard" to motivate you, the support network to help you when you need it, and more.
I have not seen any guitar tutor go into this level of dedication to ensure students use and get the best out of what they pay for.
Most importantly though, the lessons are full of real-world practical advice - they have been created while teaching students like you over many years.
Everything is taught in a step-by-step way, with enjoyable music to practise, encouragement throughout, and specific advice.
It is organised, conversational, and fun. One student even said recently:
“Dan talks to you like you are there, it’s like having a one-to-one lesson with Dan," - Steve
I do not promise miracles.
(I will leave that to the countless YouTube tutors), but I am vastly experienced at turning frustrated guitarists into real guitar players.
Everything starts off simply and builds in a steady step-by-step way.
The bottom line is this...
As long as you practice, and do exactly as I teach, you will make progress in every area of your playing...
That means cleaner sounding chords, faster chord changes, better tone, more accuracy, improved memory, fewer mistakes, a better repertoire of patterns to play, and the ability to play beautiful music at the drop of a hat.
It takes practice of course, but simply follow the instructions and you will see these results.
No.
Fingerstyle 101 is very powerful, and it’s a great start.
The Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy though, goes far deeper on everything, and fixes what 99% of all guitarists struggle with.
If you have struggled in the past, this will be a fresh start for you.
You will get an action plan, support network, the closest thing to private lessons I offer (but without the price).
If Fingerstyle 101 is a snapshot photo, the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy is like the full length feature movie.
It will take you on the journey and help you be the guitarist you have always wanted to be.
If you can pluck a note on the guitar and tune it up, then you are ready to take on this program…
Honestly, it doesn't matter that much if you have struggled in the past OR if you feel like you have no "natural talent" (talent is a dirty word in my experience).
You may have tried to keep coming back to the guitar and maybe have done so for months, years, or decades.
If so, you will probably find this course to be the missing piece of the puzzle.
Because when you follow all my easy-to-follow steps, I 100% guarantee you will be able to play beautiful music every day…
You can do so with the click of a button.
Just head to the members’ area inside the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy to do so.
There is no need to send an awkward email or anything (I hate that). I have made it easy for you and have been stung before, so I know how this feels.
If you use the lessons, you will see results right away.
As I say, in as little as 12 minutes of using the very first lesson, which I will point you to.
You will notice more results over the coming days and weeks, when all your songs will start to sound more musical.
Plus, everything you have learnt previously will start to come together and be more enjoyable to play in a more structured and cohesive way - no more fragments of learning.
Here are some success stories from other members...
"I could write ten paragraphs on everything that is so wonderful about your program and how much you are teaching me."
This is a comment from a Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy member just the other day…
"So today I was doing my usual, hanging around the house, trying to stay away from Omicron.. lol…and playing my acoustic and electric…
I decided to go back to some basics from what I learned here about posture, pressure, etc. AND Oh wow, I felt so at ease and relaxed and I was so mindful of where I felt tension and it was so easy to readjust.
Dan, I could write ten paragraphs on everything that is so wonderful about your program and how much you are teaching me. I wish I could articulate better how much I am learning. I just had to write this and say I am soooo happy I found the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy - it is the ONLY thing positive for me that came from this pandemic.
A bit weird to say, but at least I have the Dan Thorpe Acoustic Academy to help me stay positive. Thank you so much again for what you do!"

Carlos Soto I love the way Dan teaches, he makes it so simple to understand. I’m turning 50 this summer and I am confident when I say that by the end of 2022, I’m gonna be playing a lot better than what I am now. Yesterday I practiced for almost 2 whole hours and didn’t even realize it, thanks Dan for making it so easy.

Angela Baker I really enjoy the DTAA. I log on every day for at least 30 mins, it’s part of my daily routine. After the dog walk, it’s guitar time, even my dog knows “guitar time” he goes and lies down in my music room (basically the spare room). Thanks again. Another great lesson.

“I am truly unlearning a lot of bad practices"
“I am truly unlearning a lot of bad practices and learning the right fundamentals which are making a huge difference in my playing. Thx Dan for making me unlearn a lot of bad skills I learned over so many decades.
With each video, I realise how badly I was playing without a proper understanding of the fundamentals. Really amazed by the difference in playing the instrument with the right approach.

And in the interest of being rounded, here’s an "anti-testimonial" to show you why you might not want to join...
"I’ve been playing for almost forty years! Is he really teaching me how to use a capo?????"
It’s clear those guitarists who are already super confident and highly skilled will not benefit that much from it.
It turns out the guy who wrote that is a Grade 8 level guitarist who toured in the 70s - definitely not for players like him...
...but if you’re a beginner, stuck, frustrated or an intermediate guitarist wanting to get to the next level, I think you’ll find a lot of value here...
