Erich Andreas - Guitar Mastery Simplified: How Anyone Can Quickly Become a Strumming, Chords, and Lead Guitar Ninja

Congratulations for finding this book and THANK YOU forpurchasing it! By downloading this book, as well as my guitar resources at www.yourguitarsage.com and www.unstoppableguitarsystem.com,I am allowed to reach people all around the world...and for that I am very grateful!

Before we begin, I want to let you know alittle about myself and my approach towards teaching guitar. I have beenplaying guitar for over 25 years and have been in numerous bands (rock, metal,country, pop, alternative) during that time. I have studied with many teachersand was a classical guitar major for 3 years before changing my major andgraduating with a Music Business degree. I am a working studio guitarist aswell as a guitar teacher, songwriter, producer and live performer.

I LOVE playing guitar as a job and I am livingmy dream! I also LOVE imparting others with knowledge so thatthey, too, can fulfill their dreams as it relates to the guitar. I originallyset out to teach a lot of people all over the world with a method that was fun,painless and to the point. I have taught guitar since I was about 17.

First, I just taught my friends and eventually 100s ofguitarists professionally. I moved to Nashville, TN in 1990 and immediatelyhit the ground running. My clientele consists of students from ALL age groupsand all walks of life including students, professionals, writers, producers,artists and record companies.

Since I have always been so obsessed with the guitar,teaching sometimes up to 65 students a week was not enough! SO, I startedteaching for free on YouTube. Last I checked in the summer of 2013, myYourGuitarSage YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/yourguitarsagehad over 30 million views and over 112 thousand subscribers.

On that channel I have taught hundreds of songs andtechniques in MANY genres of music. I have received thousands ofletters/e-mails from countries saying that they don't have the resources ormoney to take one-on-one lessons and that the only way they've learned how toplay guitar was through me, Erich Andreas, AKA YourGuitarSage.

Make sure you check out the Resources Page of this book toget a TON more free goodies and resources to keep you rocking on the guitar.

SOOOThank you for allowing me to guide YOU in thisgreat learning process. For that I am thankful for this great opportunity!

A word of encouragement - Some of the concepts thatyou are about to learn are quite thick with information; you WILL bechallenged to do some serious thinking about the guitar. Your hands will be asequally challenged. Many guitar players can mimic other players, but oftentimes they don't know the whys of what they are doing or even how to becreative themselves.

This guide will unravel much of that. Your fingers will bemore challenged than ever before. Your mind will be stretched much further aswell. There is a reason why babies drink milk from birth, yet as they growolder, start eating solid food. This learning process is the same and it iscrucial that you keep that in mind.

Before embarking on this journey, you must remember that youWILL get discouraged at times! You WILL getfrustrated and most likely, you will want your skills to progress fasterandto that I say, WELCOME TO THE CLUB! Most every musician wants things tomove faster than they typically do. The greatest guitarists have ALL feltthese frustrations and have also felt, at times, that they were not cut outfor guitar. But like all good, worthy endeavors, we must strive for the mark.

If gold were just a few inches beneath the soil in our ownbackyard, we would be digging it up all day and probably wouldnt appreciate itmuch at all. But because its found deeper and requires considerable effortto extract it its much more valuable and appreciated that much more!

So be encouraged!

Remember that the time you spend on the guitar WILL payoff! Have FUN and spend as much time as you can playing,practicing and honing your skills. I promise you WILL see greatprogress!!
