There was so much more than just a video with a guy teaching you to play the guitar. The easy step by step approach, articulate and encouraging manner James tutors you. He covers every little detail with warmth and enjoyable lessons which includes playing songs almost right from the start. Sufficed to say with the help from James and his course my guitar playing has improved immensely in such a short time. I’ve only just begun my journey playing the guitar and I am full of enthusiasm to learn more.

I tried learning guitar on-and-off for about 15 years. I had lots of different teachers during that time, but nothing would stick. We would start playing one song, get stuck, and then start another song. It was so frustrating to never be able to play an entire song even after spending so much time and money on lessons... I just wanted to play a simple song all the way to the end. I searched “online guitar course” and found James’s course. By the time I got to Chapter 3, I was already playing songs that I tried learning for 15 years. I’m still in disbelief that an online course was able to show me something that not a single one of my teachers could in real life. I guess it’s because he gives you access to the whole picture, and takes you through the process one bit at a time. It feels like a one-on-one lesson and it really worked for me. Thank you James.

I have found learning and playing guitar has given me a purpose to get out of bed again. It is something to focus on and distract my mind away from so many intrusive thoughts from my time in the Canadian Armed Forces. Working with James has been fantastic as I needed a structured course and WOW, James and I email back and forth often when I have questions. I don’t think there are too many courses out there that if you email them your struggles they will actually try and help guide your learning towards your needs. I am half way through the beginner course and I am loving it so much. I would highly recommend James and his courses over any other one out there. The personal touch and effort he puts into the courses and his students is second to none.

Outstanding quality and value. The audio and video is so good, easy to follow, graphic and in just enough depth to not intimidate me as a student yet lifts the bar just enough to make me try harder. There is a saying, 'you get what you pay for.' Well James, my view is that in your course I am getting 'much more than I paid for.'

I wanted a way to relax and have always wanted to learn an instrument. When I stumbled across GoodGuitarist. The tutorials were very easy to follow and it was only up to me how fast or slow I wanted to learn. With encouragement to keep me on track I am so grateful to James for having such a great product.

Last year, if you told me I’d be playing Hallelujah and House of The Rising Sun I wouldn’t believe you. After taking private lessons for 6 months, and getting nowhere, my confidence was pretty shaken. As a last ditch effort I decided to try an online course. That was about 2 months ago and I’ve gotten farther ahead than 6 months of lessons did for me. And here’s the kicker, it cost me less than a month worth of lessons that I was paying for before. Worth every cent. I can’t thank James enough and am eternally grateful for his awesome course.

I really appreciate James' style and the way he connects with you right where you are. He talks in a way that you can hear it. You can you can listen to it, you can receive it. And it makes you want to push into it and do your lesson and actually follow along. So I would encourage anybody that’s thinking about it to give his lessons a try.

I picked the guitar back up after 40 plus years…when the nest emptied. Been playing with you almost two years now. I am surprised that can play... without finding you I don’t think I would be this far along. You are an excellent teacher and one of the many blessings in my life. Thanks again!
