Long before The Principles became popular with guitar students, and its superior value was recognized from so many quarters, I was the only one who knew the true value of them. During all the years I was developing the Principles, each student was a guinea pig, and year after year, student after student, I refined my methods, making my system of teaching as powerful as possible.
I was determined not to stop until I reached my goal: a complete analysis of all dynamics involved in the playing process, and more importantly, the learning process for guitar. I would not stop until I had developed a way of communicating that knowledge so that it could be used and understood by anyone who was willing to make the necessary effort.
Have you ever had trouble playing something on the guitar? Have you ever seen or heard someone play something, tried to do it yourself, maybe practiced it for a long time, and ended up with only frustration and bad feelings about yourself as a player? Be honest now.
In the 40 years that I have been teaching all styles of guitar to every type of student, there have been a few questions that come up over and over, and seem to be the cause of great concern and anxiety for guitar students. High on the list is “Am I Too Old To Learn Guitar”.
