Struggling With Guitar? It’s Not Your Fault — And Here’s Why
The real reason you’re not progressing?
Not because you're lazy, but because you may have fell into what I call:
The “Frankenstein Fingers” Trap.
Random chords.
Lots of hard strumming songs not suitable for beginners.
Confusing instructions. Fingers in pain.
Then someone annoyingly says: "Don’t worry, your hands will toughen up."
If you’ve been made to feel like it’s your fault — you’re not alone and it's not your fault.
...But here's why that can change, starting today.
The New Way That Is Finally Working for Adults In 2025...
If this ‘new way’ sounds like the kind of help you’ve been searching for… you’re not alone.
And if you’ve quit 5 times before, the secret isn’t trying harder...
It’s building joyful momentum that pulls you back to the guitar automatically.
For many students, this is the first time they’ve stuck with guitar — because it’s finally enjoyable.

Dan Thorpe
“I’m not a rockstar. I’ve lost the tip of one finger and I’m hard of hearing in one ear.
But I’ve helped over 12,000 adult learners play with joy — because I built a method that works for real people, like you.
No theory overload. No fluff. Just smart, encouraging lessons that finally click.”
One Simple Payment — No Subscriptions
And Your Purchase is 100% Risk-Free
We all know there are websites promising you "freebies" or a 1-month free trial,
...but then they secretly stick you into a program that charges your card every month.
This is NOT one of them.
There's NO hidden "continuity program" or anything like that.
And if you’re not 100% satisfied within 90 days, I’ll refund every penny — no questions asked. That’s my personal promise to you.
Real Results. Real Students.

ALL these students got the full Fingerstyle 101 system — book + video course + bonuses.
Feel Better, Think Clearer, and Sharpen Your Brain
Learning guitar isn’t just fun — it’s fuel for your brain, fingers, and mood.
This system builds that into every lesson:
In his book, This Is Your Brain on Music, Dr. Daniel Levitin shows how guitar playing activates multiple regions of the brain at once.
That’s why it’s one of the most powerful — and joyful — ways to stay mentally sharp.
My son was once upset, so I handed him a ukulele (he was too small for a guitar). Within seconds, he was smiling again. The guitar can lift your spirits too.

Before they joined, most students were thinking...
Q -“Will this really be different this time?”
If nothing else has worked, that’s exactly why I built this.
Q - “Is this going to hurt?”
It’s gentle, calm, and made for inflexible hands and fingers.
Q - “Can I do this even if I don't have "musical talent?”
9/10 private students didn't either. Me too. You don’t need to be good. You just need to begin.
That’s what 12,000 others did — many starting from scratch.
Not Sure You Can Do This? Let’s Prove You Can
❓ "What if I have arthritis or slow fingers?”
You’re not alone — many of my students have struggled with this too. That’s why this method is made for you and includes gentle techniques, warmups, and an Arthritis-Friendly Bonus Guide so you can play without pain.
❓ "What exactly do I get? And is this a one-time cost?
Yes, it's a one-time payment and you get instant and lifetime access to download or stream the Fingerstyle 101 system (video course + bonuses) in an online members area.
Plus, you get the book included:
✅ If you choose the PDF version of the system, you will get an instant download for that.
✅ If you choose the spiral-bound paperback version, that will be sent out to you on the same working day (if ordered before 5pm EST)... Plus you will get the eBook too.
❓“What if I’ve already tried lessons and failed?”
Most of my students said the same. The truth is, most lessons aren’t made for adult hands, minds, or time. This method is.
You’ll get short, clear steps that feel good to play — not just exercises, but fun music from day one. And it’s why so many students finally stick with it.
❓"I’m not tech savvy. Will I be able to use this?"
Yes. Everything in the Fingerstyle 101 system is simple to use.
✅ Stream or download the videos lessons, eBook, bonuses, and daily plan (no fancy tech needed)
✅ Works on desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile
❓"Do I need to read music?"
No. Everything is taught with simple, clear video instructions. Plus, you get the audio and TAB — and I’ll even show you how to read TAB if you're new.
❓Other Common Questions
"How long will it take to see results?"
Most students notice real progress within a week using the 20-minute routine. By following this simple system, for them things finally started to click.
"Is there a guarantee?"
Yes — you’re covered by a 90-day, no-questions-asked money-back guarantee.
“Is this just for beginners?”
Not at all. If you’re rusty, frustrated, or returning after years away, this is perfect. It rebuilds your foundation — so you will enjoy playing again and actually see progress.
"Is this right for everyone?"
If you're an advanced player, or metal or jazz guitarist, this probably isn’t for you.
...But if you’re a beginner, rusty, or you want to play stunning music with ease and heart-warming joy — you’re in the right place.
All the techniques work on both acoustic and electric, and will help all of your playing, not just your fingerstyle playing.
"Can I do this without one-to-one lessons?"
If you can tie your shoelaces, you can 100% do this, I promise. Fingerstyle 101 has helped thousands. It will help you too!
