The Secret
I’m not going to tell you what the secret is now because you need to experience it firsthand to understand how fast, easy, and fun it is to learn and play guitar.
When you understand the method behind the secret is so simple, you’ll be amazed that the whole world doesn’t know this method of learning guitar.
Back in the 1950s, without computers, the Internet, YouTube, and social media, music teachers hated Rock ‘n’ Roll (because it wasn’t classical music).
It is amazing that the secret disappeared in the late 1980s because people who knew how to play using this method — refused to teach anyone else how to play guitar. Like most of my peers, I would also refuse to teach anyone how to play. After I retired, I finally realized that thousands of musicians today suffer because of that code of silence.
Learning guitar solely by focusing on chords is not only inefficient, unproductive, and time-consuming, but it is also very boring. When the mind becomes bored, it stops paying attention and ceases to learn. Many students give up, believing they can’t learn to play guitar, because trying to learn by only practicing chords is so difficult.
Playing the guitar involves much more than just strumming chords. When you strum a chord, you’re creating a specific sound. Strumming six different chords produces six different sounds. Eventually, you’ll find it challenging to make any song sound natural—just by strumming chords.
Playing a guitar automatically implies playing a song and making music. To do so properly, you must train your brain, mind, and muscles to master a song’s tempo, rhythm, melody, and, usually, the words.
