I just learned that LEGO started out making wooden toys.

It would be 14 years before the founder, Ole Kristiansen, would order his first plastic mould machine and it took another 3 years to convince his sons to make the iconic plastic bricks.

Why?

It had never been done before. Everything had always been wooden. Plastic was new, untested, even strange.

But the results were undeniable - and lego bricks spread the world over.

Sometimes it takes a new idea, a bold method to get the juices flowing and the sparks cracking.

That's what we're all about at Stupid Simple Guitar.

We found an old trick from the guitar pros of the 60s and 70s and developed it into an entirely new teaching method that gets you playing the guitar from day one.

Playing... not learning.

Playing the guitar on day one.

So... are you ready to slam on the ole six string?

Email me at [email protected] with the subject line "I'm Ready!" to make 2026 the year you play all your favorite songs on the guitar!

Jam soon!

The guitarist who played on Beatles records, formed Cream, wrote Layla, and became the only musician ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame three sep...

The guitar in the closet

There's a particular kind of person I love working with. They've done everything right. Built a career over 35 years that most people would envy. Retired with financial security, the freedom to travel, maybe a sports car in the driveway and a pilot's license to boot. By every conventional measure, they've won. And yet there's still one thing sitting in the closet... or the corner of the spare b...

What does B-ball have to do with playing the Guitar after 60?

It's March in 'Merica thus no one escapes the NCAA B-ball Tournament known as March Madness. A lot of times we label ourselves as "jocks" or "musicians" or "you-name-it". But the reality is that we are more than our labels and a good game can be enjoyed by a good guitarist and vice versa. Take last night's game for instance. #2 seed UConn against #1 seed Duke. Most of the country had Duke ...
