As a kid, Tony was always looking for shortcuts so he could avoid work. Work to him was taking guitar lessons. Why would anyone want to do that! He didn't want to take lessons and have to practice. He just want to play his guitar and have fun. He avoided lessons like the plague.
For a while the joke was on him, because his refusal to take lessons meant that he had to teach himself... and since he didn't have a clue as to what he was doing, he was spending more time and effort teaching himself, than he would have if he had just taken lessons. Looking back, he admits that his adolescent obstinacy was pretty stupid.
But there was a silver lining. If he was going to learn anything, and fulfill his dream of being an accomplished guitar player, he had to find a way to teach himself that worked! After years of stumbling around, using a trial and error, do-it-yourself, approach he finally stumbled upon something that worked. Not only did it work well... it was fun... and FUN for him was an important part of learning to play guitar.
This guitar learning approach that he found is not rocket science. In fact it is quite simple and straight-forward and is based upon common sense. Aren't most really good ideas?
What he did was to go to people that already knew how to play guitar: Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn... Well you get the picture. Of course, he couldn't go to them directly or personally.. but he bought their albums and listened to them. And then, he would find a song he wanted to learn and began to break it apart. He would listen to it over and over and over again until he practically wore out the needle on his turntable. Why? Because before he could even attempt to play the song he needed to hear what notes were being played and how they were being played. As he figured this out, he wrote a rough form of tablature for himself. Finally after hours and hours on a single song just to get the correct notes, he would begin to practice... oops there's that dirty word again. But to him it wasn't practice because he WANTED to learn this song because he liked it ... and he wanted to be able to play it like the record. Today, some 30 plus years later this is still the basic way that he learn new music.
The Guitar Leads Learning Approach is based upon this same simple, common sense, tried-and-true approach. Moreover, it has been coupled with and enhanced by modern technology to make it even easier and better than what it was when Tony first stumbled upon it.
The Guitar Leads Master Volume contains over 425 practice segments from more than 80 classic rock (and a few other genres) songs. Tony has done ALL of the work — and has put all of that effort into these lessons.
In some ways this learning approach that he stumbled upon decades ago - and all of the extra effort (both time and money) he expended in pursuit of it is paying off. Not only has he achieved his dreams of being an accomplished guitar player - (more on that in a minute) - but this system, this approach is what most people are interested in today. Indeed, life has come full circle.
I would dare to hazard a guess that most of you are NOT terribly interested in practicing for the sake of practicing. Let's face it, although we know that learning theory and practicing scales, and doing fingering exercises is all time well spent - most of us really aren't into that.
Most of us have a full time job, lots of responsibilities and not a lot of free time. When you are fortunate to have some time to pick the guitar up - I'm guessing that your interest is the same one that Tony had almost forty years ago.... You just want to play the guitar and have fun. You are not terribly interested in, well, practicing.
Truth be told, using the Guitar Leads Master Volume lessons is a form of practicing, BUT because of the use of real guitar audio and the use of classic guitar songs as the basis of the lessons, you won't see it as practice...
One other very important point... mentioned in the headline, at the very top of the page "667% faster". Let me explain this stat. In a survey we did of our customers we asked them how important they viewed the ½ speed audio feature found in the Guitar Leads lessons. We were blown away. On average they told us that this feature increased their ability to learn by 667%. The moral of the story... although this approach is fun... it is also an extremely potent approach to learning guitar songs and guitar leads.
Now this may sound like a nice story, even a compelling one to you, but - Why should you believe it? And why should you accept the fact that it will work for you?
Well here's some evidence - and it is compelling evidence... but the bottom line is: DON'T TAKE OUR WORD - or anyone else's word for it. In fact there is only ONE person you shoud trust in this matter - and that is YOU.
It shouldn't matter if Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana or your favorite guitar player in the whole world were to tell you this is a great course. The bottom line is - that's a decision for you to make and no one else.
