I shared this in the Pro Group and wanted to share it here as well. Watch this clip below its the best advise I ever received on guitar.

How the Challenge Works 🎸 The challenge runs for 3 days total. ⏱️ Each lesson is under 11 minutes and gives you one clear skill to practice. 💪 By the end of Day 3, you’ll feel more confident, more consistent, and more in control of your strumming. This challenge is designed to help you: - Fix beginner-sounding strumming so you finally feel smooth and in control - Stop guessing the rhythm and feel the pulse automatically - Get rid of clunky, stiff down-ups that make songs fall apart - Unlock that “real musician” groove even if you’ve struggled for years What You Need to Do ✅ Step 1: Enter the Challenge classroom here: #START HERE 🎸 ✅ Step 2: Go through each day’s lesson and complete the play-along workout (you can go day-by-day or binge all three - your choice) ✅ Step 3: Make a copy of your personal Strumming Challenge Tracker ✅ Step 4: Update your tracker daily (you’ll check off your workout + check-ins) ✅ Step 5: Post your daily check-in comment under the correct thread and share your video so you can get personalized feedback You’ll get far more out of this challenge if you post your progress video each day + I’ll be jumping in with feedback to help you dial things in fast. What’s Inside the Challenge 🎯 Day 1 – Find the Pulse...Feel the beat, stop rushing/dragging, and lock into time 🎯 Day 2 – Add the Flow...Smooth out your down-up motion and make your strumming feel natural 🎯 Day 3 – Groove Together...Bring the pulse + flow together with chords so your playing sounds musical Each lesson is short, clear, and hands-on + you’ll practice as you watch.

So... There is a new member in Pro that is going through Jake G.s lesson on holding a pick. Sure a few of us jumped in and gave some great tips and suggestions but what blows me away is this. @Jake Galambos stopped everything he was doing and recorded an entirely different video response just for her. Wasn't just a couple tips either. It was personalized. My friends this is unheard of. Every online course, every 1 on 1 lesson, every book out there... Will never have this level of support. Give me your money and good luck is the standard for courses. 1 on 1 lessons... sorry youll have to wait until we meet up next week, then ill give you just enough to keep stringing you along. Books... o it didnt work like I said, sorry 😐 My friends if you are at all serious about guitar, spend the $47 bucks and live out your dreams on guitar. The man should be charging thousands 😂

Last time I asked this the answer was TIME! - I don’t have enough… - How do I use it best? - What do I practice with my time? - etc… So, I made the Perfect Practice Planner - a 20 page ebook guiding you through doing more with less time, by using a song you love to focus everything. So…let me know you’r biggest struggle right now, so I can make more tools to help you reach your guitar goals 😊 AND comment “lesson” below if you’d like details on getting a FREE 1-on-1 lesson where I walk you through how to use the guide (and an 80% discount on the guide) and create YOUR perfect practice plan.

Even as a music major, I couldn’t play a single song when someone asked. I’ll never forget being at a party my first year of college. Guitar in the corner. A few people joked, “Jake, are you gonna play something?” I laughed it off, but inside my heart sank. Truth was…I couldn’t play a song to save my life. Fast forward to today…and now I get to help adults who thought it was “too late” really learn guitar. Watching them go from scared to confident, from hiding to playing full songs for friends and family…it still blows my mind. Lately more and more people have been asking me for something beyond YouTube tips or casual lessons. They wanted real 1:1 guidance and a clear step-by-step path. So I built it. ➡ Tomorrow I’ll share exactly what it looks like — and how a small group of adult learners are going to go from “stuck beginners” to confident guitarists in just weeks. Drop SONGS below if you want me to DM you the details when it opens.
