"Can’t they just learn all this for free on YouTube?"

Absolutely, there’s a lot of great free guitar content on YouTube—there’s no denying that. But here’s the thing: sifting through endless videos, figuring out what to focus on, and trying to piece together a clear path can be overwhelming. It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of watching instead of actually playing.

What you’re really paying for with the Zero Theory Guitar School is a proven, step-by-step method that’s been distilled from my decades of experience. I’ve done all the hard work of figuring out what works, what doesn’t, and how to make progress as simple and enjoyable as possible.

Instead of jumping from one random video to another, they get a clear, distraction-free path designed to get them playing the way they’ve always wanted—without the overload of unnecessary theory or confusion. Plus, they’re not just getting lessons—you’re getting my support every step of the way.

"Do They need to buy an expensive guitar to start?"

Not at all! The A.S.A.P Method™ works with any type of guitar - acoustic or electric, expensive or budget-friendly!

AND...

If they don't have the perfect guitar yet, no worries - the included bonus guide will get them started with great instrument ideas for all budgets! 

Ps I'll even send the guide to you (incase you want to get them a guitar too!)

"They've tried learning before but got stuck with complicated theory - how is this different?"

That's exactly why I created this method! Instead of drowning you in theory, we focus on shapes and patterns that are easy to remember and you can actually use. Think of it like learning to drive - you don't need to understand how the engine works to get from A to B. Our method gets them playing real guitar first, and they can explore the theory later if they want to.

"I'm worried about them developing bad habits - how do you prevent this?"

Each lesson includes clear guidelines for good technique, with common mistakes to avoid. My shape-based approach naturally promotes correct hand positioning, and we provide multiple camera angles so you can see exactly how I do it.

BUT…

remember, the best guitarists in the world are memorable exactly because they played things differently and in their OWN way!

"They don't have much time to practice - will this still work for them?"

The A.S.A.P Method™ is designed for busy people. While there’s no minimum amount of practise required, my goal is to make practising actually FUN so it isn't a chore to sit down with the guitar. Each lesson requires maybe 15-20 minutes of practice to remember the patterns and shapes so they'll see progress even with limited practice time.

The other thing they’ll notice is that once they start to see progress, finding time to practice becomes less of a problem. When it’s fun and not a chore they’ll find the time much easier!

AND... it'll be better for you to listen to!

"What if They can't keep time or have no rhythm?"

My method breaks rhythm down into simple patterns you can follow. We start with basic strumming patterns and gradually build timing naturally through the shape and pattern based approach. Many students who thought they had "no rhythm" discover it was just a matter of having the right approach!

"What if They get stuck or need help?"

Each lesson includes detailed troubleshooting for common challenges. Plus, I've integrated the most frequently asked questions and solutions right into the lessons. They'll never feel lost or unsure of what to do next.

Inside the course there's even the "Don't Panic" button where they can get a direct line straight to me and I'll help them out with any specific problems.
