If someone only wants to learn the chords of a song or the scales on a guitar neck, geez they don't need to pay me or any other teacher. Use google and find that info for free. But "how" to play these things? Much different story, and Jamie is THE master at this!

What makes Guitar Principles so different?

Ordinary Guitar Instruction

They tell you "what" to play, but never "how" to teach your fingers to play it!
Constant struggle with one thing, then you get something else to struggle with so you feel you are progressing - you know you're not
Time goes by, you wonder what is wrong with you - no talent?
You feel desperate and go through cycles of quitting and then buying another guitar to "try again"
Years go by, you have lots of guitars and methods, but no ability to play
Nothing you buy or try seems to make you any better and get you off your plateau
No matter how much you practice a song, it never gets any better. You know pieces of lots of songs.
You can't play anything without falling apart - especially when you play for friends!

I look around at the state of instruction for guitar, and I only find one person out of all guitar educators, who bases instruction on the science of producing sound, the biomechanics of doing it, and the neurology of learning to do it well.

Jamie Andreas, of course. I just don't understand how out of 7 billion of us, only one has recognized the need to understand how our bodies and brains work, and how to apply that to playing and teaching guitar.

Learning Guitar Is Not A Mystery!

Learning to play guitar does not have to be difficult. Learning to play guitar does not have to be a hit-or-miss affair, works for some, not for others. There is an absolutely sure fire way of training your fingers and yourself to be as good a guitar player as you want to be and are willing to work for.

I have created that method and have been proving it works in the 47 years I have been teaching guitar.

I call this method "The Principles of Correct Practice For Guitar". It has created thousands of good (and many great) guitar players, many who had given up any hope of learning after trying every other guitar method and lesson out there.

About Jamie Andreas

Hi, my name is Jamie Andreas.

I started playing guitar at age 14, and teaching at 17. In my first two years of teaching, I was troubled that so many students just didn't "get it", they just couldn't get their fingers to do what my fingers found easy to do. I was so upset at taking people's money and not delivering results that I quit teaching guitar. Until...

A few years later, I began to take the mystery out of learning guitar. I studied the science of motor control learning, how muscles learn movements. I studied anatomy. I went back to teaching guitar with a whole new viewpoint. I experimented with my methods.

I developed a powerful system for learning guitar that worked for everyone who used it. It didn't matter what style of music, or what the age or background of the student. If you have fingers, and follow my methods, you will become a good guitar player.

I want everyone who wants to learn to play guitar to succeed. I get very upset when I meet someone who has been buying guitars and lessons for years, and still can't play!

I hope you will give me the chance to prove the power of "The Principles". You will finally discover how good a guitar player you can really be! A good place to start is to discover what "The Principles" can do for your left hand control.
