  • A simple 3-level progression so you always know what to work on next
  • A specially designed drum track that gets faster as you improve

No waffle. No endless theory.  No “just practise more” advice.

Grab your guitar, press play, and give it a go.

What Academy Members Said About This Lesson:

“This is great…very useful. The backing drum beat that increases in speed is a nice touch!”

“YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXACTLY what I need Dan! SO stoked about these lessons…. the only bad part about this is I will now have NO EXCUSES to not be able to do smooth chord changes!!! 🙂 🙂 Cheers Buddy!!!”

“Really useful. The 2 minute challenge is a good addon once I got level 1 Em-Am clean for the full 90secs. Now to move on to 2 & 3 for 4 repeats at the start of each practice session.”

Who Is Dan Thorpe?

I’m a guitar teacher from Birmingham, UK, and I specialise in helping adult guitarists, particularly those aged 50+, who feel stuck, frustrated or fed up with making the guitar harder than it needs to be.

I’ve taught students in person for years and helped more than 12,000 guitarists online via my books, courses, and Six String Life Academy.

A lot of them weren’t complete beginners.

They were people who had played on and off for years. They knew some chords, half-finished songs, and had watched plenty of YouTube.

...Yet their playing still didn’t feel smooth, confident or musical.


That’s exactly the kind of guitarist I enjoy helping and, not to brag, I’ve got a knack for getting them unstuck fast when other methods haven’t worked.

If that sounds like you, start with this lesson.
