The Best Way Of Learning & Changing Chords

is taught in

"The Path: Chords & Rhythm"

 

During 30 years of teaching all styles of guitar, master player & teacher Jamie Andreas studied the question "why do so many people have trouble learning to play guitar, and either quit, or get stuck at some level of ability beyond which they cannot improve"?

The answers to this question became "The Principles Of Correct Practice For Guitar" , published in 1998. Since then, tens of thousands of players around the world have used "The Principles" to understand and solve their playing problems, and move to their next level of ability. You can too!

You CAN be a great guitarist!

For insight into the best way of changing chords, and when to use alternate fingerings, take a look at "Chord Confusion"...
