This one goes out to all of our members! Thanks for being here, let us know if this video resonates with you or there are additional ways we can support your guitar journey! We'd love to make that a reality! 🙌🎸🤘

Hey, I’m Mike! 🤘🏽 Let’s be real: My learning process can look a bit like a flailing fish out of water, or ugly-crying... messy, a little uncoordinated, and definitely not always "pretty." But that’s just the reality of growing at a natural pace. Between a demanding work schedule and keeping up with a one-year-old (I officially take back every time I thought I was "busy" before fatherhood), finding time is a challenge. That is exactly why we started this community. Without a clear direction, practice stops being a passion and starts feeling like a chore... or worse, a goal that’s always out of reach. We’re here to make sure you don’t just stay on the wagon, but actually enjoy the ride. What’s Coming Up: * Fresh Challenges: Our first community challenges are launching soon to get your hands moving. * New Vault Content: We’re dropping new videos to help sharpen your skills. Get Involved: If you’re new to the crew, don't be shy, we all want the same thing here. Introduce yourself! Our OG members @Joe Richard , @Derek Cadzow , and @Chaz Harrison are all in the trenches working toward the same goals. Plus, @Benjamin Wood is available as a massive resource for any questions you have while we gear up for our upcoming posts. Thanks for being here. We’re stoked to be part of this musical journey alongside you!

What song or artist made you want to learn guitar? And what tips have you taken from them?

Heyooo, I’m Chaz, from the Saint Cloud area. Caged, keys, scales has gotten me far, but when I try to write it almost locks me up, and I feel like I explore the guitar less. Looking to break out of that and get back to creative writing.
