"In over 50 years of trying to play guitar, no one has ever covered this"
Michael Clarke
What an eye opener. In over 50+ years of stop/start trying to play guitar, no one has ever covered this!
Most of the time, the dialogue is along the lines of ‘it will hurt’.
As a teenager, ‘callouses’ were a passage of rites. Now, I’ve cleaned the slate.
Who This Reset Is For
(And Why It's Free On This Page)
This reset is for adults over 50 who want to enjoy playing guitar.
If acoustic guitar, fingerpicking, blues, and relaxed jamming matter more than drills, speed, and flashy tricks, you’re in the right place.
...Especially if you’re short on time, returning after years away, or tired of lessons promising you’ll sound like Eric Clapton in a weekend.
Why is it free?
Because fixing tension and bad habits changes everything — and most players are never shown how.
To make sure it sticks, you’ll also receive two short eBooks, The Super Mini Songbook and The Guitar Doctor.
Why The Guitar Has Felt Harder Than It Should
...And Why It’s Not Your Fault
Dear Guitarist,
If practising hasn’t led to real improvement, it’s not a lack of talent or effort.
For most adult guitarists, tension and small habits quietly build up over time — often without anyone ever correcting them.
Gripping the neck like Indiana Jones wrestling a snake.
Pressing more than necessary.
Sitting in ways that make the guitar fight back.
These bad habits are common, and they’re fixable.
Fix them first, and playing feels lighter, calmer, and enjoyable again — starting today.

What Students Say After Finishing This Course...
"You're covering things that other instructors aren't and it's making things fun."
“What a brilliant course.
Everything is 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 this so early.
Now I’m confident that with 10–15 minutes a day, I’ll get it sounding beautiful (my kids and grandkids will be impressed!). - Mark Ashton

My Early Struggles Are Your Benefit. Here's Why...
I’m Dan Thorpe, an RGT-certified guitar instructor.
I’ve spent over 10,000 hours teaching adult students, but I wasn’t a natural on the guitar.
In fact, I struggled for years and made just about every mistake possible. That’s how I learned what actually helps normal people play better.
These lessons will save you hours of practice and months of frustration.
But Is This Right For You?
This 7-day reset is ideal if:
It's NOT for heavy metal, jazz, or advanced, speed-focused guitarists.
