Are you a beginner or frustrated guitarist?
If so, read on for a simple and fun solution...
Dear Guitarist,
If you’ve ever felt stuck, unmotivated, or unsure what to practise, you’re not alone.
After writing two successful Amazon books and helping thousands of adult students...
I kept seeing the same struggles.
Tension, confusion, and random practice with no plan.
That’s why I created a simple 7-day course.
In just 9 minutes a day, it builds habits that work, gets you playing real music...
And makes the guitar fun again.
Why You’ve Been Stuck (And Why It’s Probably Not Your Fault)
If you ever catch yourself thinking…
“I’m a hopeless beginner. I’ve lost my motivation, and no matter how much I practise, I don’t improve.... It even feels like I’m going backwards.”
If so, you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.
Most beginners get trapped in what I call the “Circle of Frustration”.
It’s like spinning your wheels in the mud. You keep working harder, but you never seem to move forward.
If YouTube, books, lessons, or courses haven’t clicked... The problem isn’t talent.
It’s structure.
And that’s exactly what this course fixes so you can...
Play Better, Faster, Longer... With Habits That Work Every Time You Pick Up the Guitar
The 7 key lessons I teach inside give you a simple, step-by-step path.
One that helps you make progress every single time you pick up the guitar.
Thousands of adult guitarists trust this method to fix bad habits, play real music, and finally enjoy picking up the guitar every day.
Think of the 7 Keys as your clear roadmap, guiding you to play beautiful music with confidence in just one week.
Soon, those “confused and unmotivated” feelings will be a distant memory.
It’s all waiting for you inside…

This Week: 7 Short Lessons That Finally Stick (Even If Nothing Has Before)
Here’s what you’ll cover in these fast, confidence-building sessions:
Day 1
How to Destroy the “Death Grip” Forever
If your fingers ache, cramp, or you struggle with arthritis, this will help fast. In minutes, you’ll learn one simple tweak that eases tension, makes notes ring clean, and has you thinking, ‘Wow, this feels easier.’
Michael Clarke
“What an eye-opener! In over 50 years of trying to play guitar, NO ONE has ever covered this.
I was always told to ‘press hard’ and wear my callouses like a badge of honor. This lesson changed everything. Thank you, Dan!
Day 2
"Play a Famous 8-Note Riff in Minutes"
Apply what you learned on Day 1 to REAL music. In just minutes, you’ll be playing one of the most famous 8-note riffs ever written — the kind that makes people's ears perk up.
This isn’t just practice. It’s a confidence-builder that gets your groove on, gets your fingers moving together, and gets you having fun with a piece to add to your repertoire.
Peter Hulse
That was really great! I can actually play a tune! Love the jokes!
Day 3
Fix Sloppy Picking With The “Magnetic Hand”
Learn the simple ‘Magnetic Hand’ cue that keeps your picking hand in the right spot—no awkward anchoring. Works with fingers or a pick for a cleaner tone, better accuracy, and smoother flow.
Ian Hall
My ‘death grip’ was cured instantly on the earlier lesson and this has already made a huge difference to my picking accuracy.
That four-note melody even sounds like the intro to ‘Nothing Else Matters’ by Metallica. Great stuff!
Day 4
"Unlock a Legendary Blues Groove"
Play one of the most fun blues basslines ever in this two-part lesson. It sounds like two guitars playing at once.
I break it down into simple chunks so you can make it musical, play it with confidence, and when you’re ready, you can level up with the intermediate version for an even bigger, bolder sound.
Judy Blackburn
Thoroughly enjoyed this lesson. It was similar to a piece my old boyfriend taught me years ago, so it was special. Thank you, Dan.
Day 5
Supercharge Your Musicality With The "3-Point Method"
A huge frustration for many are the endless tiny “hiccups” and pauses that kill the rhythm and flow of your songs.
With one simple 3-step exercise, you’ll smooth out your timing, lock in your coordination, and make your playing sound more musical and professional (no metronome torture required).
Keith Hillier
Thanks again Dan for making learning fun and giving us achievements easily obtained.
Day 6
The Must-Know Essentials Of "Elegant Fingerstyle"
Play a beautiful, flowing 9-note pattern that sounds like real music right away.
I’ll show you exactly which finger to use for each note so your picking feels natural and effortless. By the end, you’ll be fully prepared to play the stunning Romanza on Day 7 with confidence and style.
Lynette Bendell
Taking extra days with each lesson now to get it as good as possible. Also trying very hard not to look at my hands. It’s a great course, thank you.
Day 7
Play the Stunning "Romanza" (aka Spanish Romance)
How to play one of the most beautiful, romantic guitar pieces ever written. I’ll walk you through it bar by bar using my 1-Minute Melody Method.
This is the same piece I get absolute beginners playing within their first month, and now you’ll have that same breakthrough moment.
Read what Mark said about the course below...
Mark Ashton
“What a brilliant course. Everything broken down into manageable steps. I can’t believe how clear the Romanza piece was explained and demonstrated.
I’d have never believed I’d be able to play something like Romanza so early.
But now I’m confident that with 10–15 minutes a day, I’ll get it sounding beautiful (my kids and grandkids will be impressed!).
And when you finish all 7 days...
You will Unlock Something Special
I'll tell you more about that in a moment.

Who This Course Is Not For...
This is NOT for super-skilled guitarists, "shredders", or those looking for long, advanced lessons
This is not for everyone.
It’s a short, practical course for those who love folk, blues, fingerpicking, and other styles.
It's ideal for beginners and frustrated returners who want to play real music fast.
If you’re already confident and can play lots of songs, it’s probably not for you.
...But if you’re brand new, stuck, or need a confidence boost, this is for you.
Are you an adult over 50 wanting to enjoy playing for yourself, maybe even with a desire to play an open-mic, but mostly looking forward to keeping your hands flexible and your mind sharp...
If so, this is for you.
Why This Course Works
When Others Just "Collect Dust"
Most online course creators know the hard truth:
About 85–90% of learners never finish self-paced classes (based on industry research). That’s why I designed this one to be easy to follow and fun to complete.
And it's why I've created the special "Make It Stick" email plan.
...Plus, the special bonus lessons I'm giving you when you finish.
As well as the lessons being super fun, these two things will keep you motivated from start to finish.
Lifetime Support and Community. Never Feel Stuck Or Alone Again
"Stay motivated, get answers fast, and never feel lost with support from people just like you."
You get real-time support in two ways:
In short, the course and group are built for guitarists over 50, so you’re never learning alone.
You’ll get the support, advice, and accountability that keep you motivated and moving forward.
And the results speak for themselves.
Here’s what happens when students finally escape the Circle of Frustration and follow this plan...
“Definitely a home run!”
"I really believe this course is WONDERFUL! I plan on going back to it a lot as I move on with your other lessons.
There were things in here that I picked up that I had not picked up on before… and it also pointed out some bad habits I had gotten into, so now I can work on correcting them.
Thanks so much for putting this together –definitely a home run!”
Logan Hager

"I look forward to picking up my guitar every day!"
I'm a returning student from childhood. You're covering things that other instructors aren't and it's making things fun. I'm growing at a pace that is comfortable for me.
Anne Webber

"Exactly what I need to boost my motivation to practice."
I had no idea you could play without digging “grooves” into my fingertips. I’ve already learned something I didn’t know.

It's a simple one-off payment.
And unlike private lessons, which can cost $50–$80/hour without a set end time and often without a clear outcome...
This entire 7-day plan (with lifetime access, bonuses worth $201, and personal support) costs just $97, which is less than two lessons.

Carlos, age 50, said it best after recovering from a traumatic brain injury from a car accident:
"I’m turning 50 this summer and suffer from a traumatic brain injury. I love the way Dan makes it so simple to understand. It’s super fun.
I don’t even feel like I’m practicing. Yesterday I practiced for almost 2 whole hours and didn’t even realize. This is a must have for anyone starting the guitar journey." - Carlos
