You don't know what you don't know... neither did he

I talked to a guy recently who was in his sixties, top of his career and miserable. He had no more mountains to climb, no new hills to take and everything felt pretty meaningless. So his wife bought him a guitar. He had never been musical, but she knew he liked listening to the old rock classics. 

And something happened.

He loved it. Every bit of it. The smell of the rosewood rubbing off on his hands, the vibrations running through his chest, the sound filling the room, even the pain of the callouses on his fingers made him feel alive. 

He said now he shows up every day to work as his best self. He's motivated, relaxed and joyful. All because he picked up the guitar a little bit each day. 

And he's not alone. Many students are finding that the right coach, a consistent community, and our stupid simple method are the way to fast-track their playing and build a manageable daily routine that doesn't let you down.

Jam soon,
