This is another important one that needs to be discussed. This point is very important to me as many people struggle with this.

The perception out there is that you need to be musical in order to learn how to play or even master the guitar. This results in too many people not ever even attempting to learn as they see themselves as non musical people.

Let’s break this down: Yes first and foremost the guitar is a musical instrument. BUT what many people fail to notice is that it is also a TECHNICAL instrument. And it is because of precisely this reason that anyone can learn how to play it 🙂

You see any individual can master technical aspects. All someone would need is the right mentor, the right attitude, and a willingness to work hard on all the aspects that they are shown. It’s that simple.

Once people start realising that they can nail the guitar’s technical aspects, they can really do excellently well on the instrument.

This topic is a very relatable one for me as I myself am not a musical person and struggled with this when I first took up the guitar. I thought that I couldn’t ever do anything or achieve anything because I was not musical and did not come from a musical family. Slowly but surely I started focusing on all the technical aspects of the guitar and have never looked back. As soon as I realised that I could nail all the technical aspects of my playing, I knew that nothing could stop or hinder me along this journey. 

I figured out all the ways that I could use techniques to not only help me progress, but all the ways that I could use them to plug or fill the gaps that my lack of ‘musicalness’ left. All my teaching methods were built from the ground up with these thoughts and goals in mind.

I wanted to create guitar courses for people who struggle with these thoughts. For people who think that they cannot achieve anything on the guitar. So in short, my guitar courses will give you real results real fast. Because my methods work – Period.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that being musical isn’t a good thing. It most definitely is and will result in certain aspects being easier or will allow you to pick them up quicker. All I’m saying is that being musical is MOST DEFINITELY not a requirement.

Let’s end off by saying – it’s OPTIONAL 🙂

I hope I’ve gotten you fired up and have changed your perception on the matter.

If you have any additional questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
