I had no idea how to play.
Amazing! I’ve tried other guitar programs but none went into such depth about guitar basics. Now I’m a confident guitar player ,even though I started with not even knowing how to hold a guitar or pick. I had no idea how to play. Now I love it!

Course Curriculum
The course CONSISTS OF five core areas of STUDY

Vocal training not only allows you to sing and play at the same time, but teaches you important techniques that further your guitar playing beyond the limitations of mainstream guitar learning.

A Lifetime Investment
This online guitar course covers material that takes 1-3 years to learn through private lessons. Depending on how fast you learn, and how good your teacher is, those lessons alone would cost you $1,760-6,600. And that’s no guarantee your guitar teacher will be capable of giving you the same solid foundation that this course will give you.
Mainstream guitar education focuses on theory, scales and exercises. This isn’t the most effective way to learn to play guitar. Nor the most enjoyable.
The 8 Week Guitar Bootcamp takes you straight to the action.
You start playing real songs immediately. What’s more, you won’t become another boring guitarist who knows a few fancy riffs – you’ll become a real musician capable of performing with others and entertaining in your own right. And that is much more satisfying.
Meet your guitar teacher, Fidel.
Hey! I’m Fidel. Nice to meet ya. I’ll be your guide into the world of guitar learning.
You’ve made a wise choice lining up behind a guitar teacher – the internet is a messy place when it comes to learning guitar. YouTube and guitar tab sites teach some horribly inaccurate stuff.
Let’s side-step all that confusion and take a direct route through the best chords, strums, songs and techniques for complete beginners. I’ve taught thousands over students over 25 years. I can’t wait to show you the easy way to learn guitar!

Fidel's teaching is brilliant.
I tried learning guitar with other teachers, but I never got far because I didn’t click with them. They were either boring to learn from, or kinda mean. Fidel’s teaching is so brilliant. This course is so good, and the songs are fun too. I love that I have the freedom to learn whenever I feel like it. I can race ahead or take breaks and come back to it when I’m ready. Thank you soooo much for this course Fidel!

Learn Without Theory
a revolution in guitar teaching methodology
No silly tunes
Why do most guitar teachers insist you learn silly tunes and nursery rhymes you’ll never want to play in front of your friends? Mary Had A Little Lamb, Rock My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham, Aura Lee, Kumbaya? Not in this course. Instead, you’ll be learning to play guitar through brilliant songs by artists and bands like The White Stripes, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, The Moldy Peaches, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Skip the theory
You can spend years trying to understand music theory, but it slows down the learning process (and the truth is, many of the world’s best guitarists never bothered). Instead, I’ll teach you to play by ear, like so many exceptionally skilled and renowned musicians do. You don’t need to have an ear for music to get started, I’ll teach you everything you need to know to play guitar with skill, taste and finesse.
All the skills
There’s no point learning to play guitar and never being able to share it. You’ll learn essential skills in musicality, song structures, vocal techniques and performance confidence to help you bring your love for music out of your bedroom into the wide world. You’ll develop skills that allow you to play along with others, record yourself and perform live in front of a crowd.
Learn Guitar Through Great Songs
Instead of boring exercises, I’ll teach you how to play real songs by real bands. Here’s just a sample of the excellent artists whose songs you’ll be learning in this course:
Iggy Pop & The Stooges
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Paul Kelly
Harry Nilsson
Elvis
Ray Charles
The Moldy Peaches
Chuck Berry
Bruce Springsteen
Ron Pope
The White Stripes
Nancy Sinatra
Hank Williams
Cold War Kids
