Would you love to learn guitar but are worried you’ve left it too late?

Have you always dreamed of playing the guitar well? Or maybe you’ve tried (multiple times) in the past, but gave up in frustration?

I get it. Guitar seems so dastardly difficult:

● Feels like there is so much to learn, even just to play something basic
● Painfully slow progress
● Your fingers just won’t change chords quickly enough (“Is that song supposed to sound like that?” your partner says with a puzzled look).

It’s not your fault.

So many guitar programs are full of long-winded explanations and convoluted lessons that make learning either slow or impossible.

But – I can help.

A fun, easy and fast guitar method.

What if I was to tell you there’s a fun, easy and fast method to learning the guitar that will enable you to confidently strum five songs in 30 days – with only 10 minutes of practice a day?

Buckle up, because our new online course, the 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge, has stripped everything down to the essentials – without boring waffle or endless exercises.

Your journey to guitar success begins today.

The 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge is a revolutionary “10-minute workout” system for rapidly learning guitar and understanding the underlying nuts and bolts to hundreds of songs.

How It Works

90% of all popular songs are based on the same four patterns.

You’ll have the support of a worldwide community, answering your questions and giving you help every step of the way.

Your friends won’t believe how good you’ll sound after just 30 days.

Rather than trying to justify spending $1500+ on six months of private guitar lessons that may or may not work, this affordable method will start you off sounding good from day one – and it only gets better from there.

Keep your brain active and healthy through the power of music.

It’s clear: learning a musical instrument may have a powerful protective effect on mental functioning.

A study undertaken by the Journal of Health & Ageing found that learning a musical instrument may reduce your risk of cognitive decline by up to 67%.

It turns out that while music is a brilliantly fun pursuit, it can also be incredible for your brain health too.

Let’s get those neurons firing.

But wait - surely I can’t learn guitar in such a short time?

You may be skeptical that this method will work, especially after hearing things like ‘the 10,000 hour rule’.

Sure if you want to become a virtuoso master, then that’s going to take a little while.

But if you’re keen to learn a bunch of great sounding songs and play them confidently at your next dinner party, then all you need is this step-by-step recipe.

And we are so confident this will work for you, your results are guaranteed.

The ONLY online guitar program for adults that gets the fundamentals of playing under your fingers in just 30 days.

Who is the 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge for?

Who is the 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge NOT for?

What inspired me to create the 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge?

After all, I’ve already got a successful online jazz guitar school with thousands of students.

But one day, I saw this comment on Reddit from someone new to guitar:

“Trying to change chords fast is one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever experienced. My fingers just won’t cooperate.” ~ Frustrated Beginner

I decided to look deeper.

What were the other beginner online guitar courses out there? I began to explore.

To my horror…

They were all SO DIFFICULT!

People were spending MONTHS learning basic chords. Teachers repeatedly said on the videos ‘oh don’t worry, you just won’t sound good for a long long long time and that’s ok’…

And I thought to myself,

What a lot of old toffee.

Because here’s the thing:

Outside of my online jazz school, I was teaching guitar beginners using a method I’d developed initially to teach my 75 year old student Peter, who was housebound due to a disability.

I had Peter easily moving between simplified versions of Em and C chords – in just 30 minutes into his first lesson.

And this was from a guy that was self-professed to be “completely unmusical” and “too old to learn.”

It turns out:

Most guitar teachers are so advanced – they forget what it’s like to be a beginner.

Let me show you over the next 30 days, how close you are to experiencing the joy of being able to play the guitar confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s a list of common questions about the program (if you have any other questions that aren’t listed, feel free to contact us here.)

Is this course right for me?

If you’ve never played guitar and keen to learn in a fast and fun way, OR you’ve tried guitar before but gave up in frustration, then this course is a good fit for you.

How much practice time do I need?

You need a minimum of 10 minutes a day (but don’t stress if you need to skip a day here and there, I’ve factored in a bit of extra time to account for that).

Can I do the course at my own pace?

You’ll get best results if you do it along with the rest of the group for the 30 days, however you do have 3 months access to the course materials if you did want to go through the material in more detail.

Who shouldn’t sign up?

If you already know the main open chords, can play several songs on guitar, and can change chords easily, then this course is definitely not for you. The program is designed for people who have either never played guitar before or have tried once or twice in the past but given up because they thought it was too hard (hint: guitar is a lot easier if you get your learning steps in order).

How does the course run?

We’ll get started on Saturday and run for 30 days. You’ll be given access to the community where you can get your questions answered. I’ll also be in contact with you via email over the 30 days to indicate where you should be up to in the program and what to study next. New modules of the course will be unlocked each week of the course.

What if I don’t like the course?

No problem at all, we offer a 14-day no questions asked guarantee if you would like a refund. You just need to email us with your request at contact@guitarlessons.org and we’ll organize your refund within 72 hours.

Who runs this program?

The 30-Day Beginner Guitar Challenge is run by me, Greg O’Rourke. I’m an award-winning guitarist with a teaching career that spans over 25 years. I’ve been spending the last 10 years teaching online in my successful jazz guitar school FretDojo.com, and have recently become director of the beginner guitar website guitarlessons.org.

How much time should I set aside for this course?

Not much time at all. For the guitar practice, you only need a maximum of 10 minutes a day (and you can skip a day here and there, it’s no big deal). There are also short explainer videos included with each workout that take anywhere from 1-5 minutes to watch so that you know exactly how you should be practicing each workout.

This Could Be You
