Neither was it because I practiced less. I was simply misguided - like every other person to ever pick up the guitar!

This also involves months of practice and learning boring theory. This book is here to end that - to simplify things - to make things so simple that you'll be playing your first melody on day 1 and your first song within 7 days. How can this book do that? You would have heard people say - "You need to learn theory to be a real guitarist" Well..... Wrong!

This book cuts out all the cr*p and gives you a streamlined process of mastering guitar. Even if you failed every exam at school and you have never picked up a single instrument in your life, you will be able to become a proficient guitar player without years and years of expensive guitar lessons. With the right strategy, you will get addicted to your guitar and the songs you are able to play. How long will I have to practice? Now, I know you have other commitments in life and cannot spend 25 hours a day practicing guitar. No one wants to do that. This book has been designed with exactly that in mind. It will give you goals for each of your 7 days with step by step instructions on what to play each day. You won't have to worry if you're practicing too less or too much - the book will tell you what you need to be accomplishing each day. Commit a few hours a day for 7 days and you'll make your friends and family jealous when you pull your guitar out. It doesn't matter if you just enter primary school or you are about to retire.
