A first-song route into guitar

James Haywire’s short beginner guide puts early playing at the forefront, organizing its instruction around the practical steps toward a first song. Its listed topics range from seven essential chords and basic music reading to choosing and maintaining a guitar, planning practice, listening to music, and preparing fingers for playing. The description also emphasizes making practice manageable for people with limited time. The promised one-week outcome is the book’s own claim; the useful scope here is its mix of introductory playing skills and the everyday decisions that accompany starting guitar.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults who are new to guitar and want an introductory, practical starting point.
  • Beginners seeking guidance on chords, basic music reading, practice planning, and guitar care.
  • Learners with limited practice time who want instruction focused on working toward a first song.

Book overview

If You're New To The Guitar and Want To Be Playing Your First Song In 7 Days or Less Then Keep Reading...

Do you want to learn to play the Guitar? Do you want to do it in a fun and practical way? Do you want to be playing your first song by this time next week (or earlier)?

If you're an aspiring Guitarist like I was, you probably answered yes to all of the questions.

Now, learning the 'boring' parts like Music Theory and ALL Chords certainly has it's place, however, as a beginner what we want to do is PLAY Music, not theorize about it.

That's why I'm so passionate about writing these books, to help aspiring Guitarists not go through the same boring fate I did.

Not only that, I saw so many potentially great Guitarists give up because they couldn't deal with the mind-numbing teachings anymore.

The funny thing is once you have hours and hours of playing time under your belt, learning the 'boring' parts isn't half as bad, as you know you're only doing it if it's essential to make you a better Guitarist.

And, believe me, once you fall in love with playing and realize just how amazing playing your first full songs, or your first solo, or your all-time favorite song is, you will be a lot more motivated to sit down and learn the theory.

But, as a beginner, you have no idea of the feeling playing can give you, so what you need first is that playing experience, and that's exactly what I'm here to give you.

Oh, and you don't need to worry, this isn't a 24/7 all work, no play programme. Yes, you'll need to spend some time practicing, but it's the 21st Century, we have very busy lives, and I have busy lives, and I made all of the practices and learning as streamlined as possible for you!

And, here's a slither of what you'll discover inside...

  • The 7 MUST KNOW Chords For Any New Guitarist! (Without All The Fluff)
  • The 3 Things You'll Want To Know Before Buying A New Guitar (Includes A Complete Buying Guide)
  • A Proven Guide To Schedule Your Time To Maximize Your Results (We Don't All Have Endless Time To Practice Unfortunately)
  • The Absolute Essentials To Guitar Maintenance And Why You're Potentially Wasting $100's If You Ignore This
  • The Bare Essentials Of Reading Music The Right Way, Without Boring You To Death
  • 2 Tips That Could Prevent You From Wasting Hours Getting Nowhere With Your Practice
  • 3 Tips For Preparing For Your First Song
  • How Listening To Music Can Help You Rapidly Develop Your Skills
  • An Easy Solution To Prevent The Dreaded Newbies Finger Pain...

And that is a tiny fraction of what you're getting.

Even if you've NEVER picked up a Guitar in your life, even if you have no idea how to even pick or tune a Guitar and even if you don't know the difference between a chord and a scale this Practical Beginners Guide will have you playing your first song in 7 days or less! (All for the price of a few cups of Coffee, I think that's a fair deal)
