 Music Theory 101 will teach you all of this, without getting too technical.

So many people think learning music theory is a daunting task…

But it’s actually... pretty simple...

Only 6 months after first picking up a guitar, as a young adult, I went to a piano teacher and asked if she could teach me theory.

She warned me how difficult it would be. That it might discourage me and make music less fun.

So I went home and looked it up myself.

And it seemed so simple. I was confused as to why she would say it was complicated.

I went back to the piano teacher and signed up for "theory lessons" and went through all the books, starting with the most basic stuff. I completed all the theory books in record time and it all seemed pretty logical to me...

Why did everyone act like it was so hard?

I think it's because music schools try to teach theoretical concepts to children at a young age - and it IS hard at that age. And because of that, music theory gets a bad reputation. I was able to learn it with my adult brain, and I found it was much simpler than I was told it was going to be.

This was confirmed when I started playing gigs...

In the real world - everything from learning songs for your own enjoyment, jamming with other musicians, writing songs - people use theory to accomplish actual goals and make music EASIER.

That's what I want to show you in this course. I've seen it from both sides, having both a music degree, but also being self-taught.

And I want to show you the useful stuff that is going to make guitar easier.

Here's what you'll get...

• 28 rich & detailed lessons with visualizations and animations to help you SEE how simple it can be
• Comprehensive workbook with worksheets, diagrams and more
• Direct access to James through the "GoodGuitarist Community" Private Group

Is this the right course for you?

I want you to see for yourself if this is a good fit.

To help you make this decision, all my courses come with a 30-day no-questions money back guarantee.

I see other people offering 14-day guarantees, or 30-days but with the fine print that you need to actually get through a huge chunk of the course, and then have a conversation with them about why it’s not working.

I know my course works, so I’m going to give you 30 days. You're going to be able to see real results.

And if you feel you didn't get your money's worth, it can be day 1, or day 30… you're welcome to simply email me and say “I want a refund.” You don't have to tell me why, and you're gonna get all your money back.

The reason why I offer this… I'm gonna be completely honest. I have an over 99% satisfaction rate. In fact, oftentimes, when people do return my course, it's not because they don't like it. It's because they want intermediate or advanced content - and they end up trading up for my intermediate and advanced courses.

So if you want to learn guitar with me, there's really no risk involved. It's all on me.
