A personal word before you start
Remember that I used to be a beginner too.
Everyone was.
Tommy Emmanuel, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix. They were all beginners at some point.
All it takes is a love of music and a passion for the guitar.
You're already here, so I know you have both.
Let's make you an amazing guitarist.
I'm looking forward to seeing you inside the course.
