2008-03-08T12:00:00-08:00

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Sat, March 8th, 2008 -- The 50th Annual Grammy Awards are a stark reminder of what is required for a person to learn to play guitar to a vocational level and advances in technology means that one of the emerging places to learn guitar is with the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.GuitarCoaching.com). In previous days, this level of professionalism was only achievable at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles or at the Berklee College of Music in Boston but the advent of the internet means that a guitarist can hone their skills in the comfort of their own home and learn the skills to be a professional musician via their own “university without walls.”

Playing guitar is something that many people enjoy and although countless people harbor ambitions of becoming a professional guitarist one day, there are many problems that prevent them from doing so. Self-training can be fun but it is not true that practice makes perfect, only perfect practice makes perfect and when you consider that 98% of instructional guitar training material is not designed to train guitarists to the vocational standards of the industry, it is clear there are failings in the way that many people learn to play guitar.

The simplest way of solving these problems is to have a course that tells the student what to do, how to do it and to have a means of measuring their progress. The personal trainer program devised by the Mike Hayes Guitar Studio was created to remove all limitations of what can be achieved or accomplished on the guitar and to make each student fully aware of their own artistic potential.

Each module within the program contains a step-by-step instruction which follows on naturally from each previous step, there are video instructions which allow the student to study at their own pace and the “Progress Tracker” facility allows each student to chart their progress and to monitor the rate at which they learn to play guitar.

Existing testimonials already state how beneficial the program is for new and aspiring students and it is clear that this product will offer the opportunity for many people to play guitar at the required vocational level.

Mike Hayes Guitar Studio Creates Simple Learn to Play Guitar Program for All

2007-08-17T00:00:00-08:00

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, August 17th, 2007 -- Mike Hayes Guitar Studio (http://www.guitarcoaching.com) is proud to announce a new program that will allow everyone to be a success with a desire to learn to play guitar. There are many games that have hit the market, such as Guitar Hero, that have many taking an interest in playing guitar. Why simply play on a game when you can actually learn to play the real thing? Games like this can be fun, but there is simply nothing like picking up a guitar and playing a song for real.

Many individuals that are interested in playing guitar don’t ever take it up because the videos that they purchased are very fast paced and don’t really show the individual how to play, instead they focus on how skilled the person is on the video. These videos are more confusing than anything and leave many feeling like they simply could not play guitar if they wanted to. Instructional videos also often overlook the basic fundamentals of playing the instrument and there is no real comprehensive instruction on how the instrument works.

Guitar 101 is Mike Hayes version of an instruction video that will allow people to learn to play guitar with relative ease. The video shows interested parties all of the basics and shows them how to apply these skills to become a true musician. One satisfied customer said, “After struggling for almost 30 years to try and ‘wring’ a tune out of a guitar, at last with the aid of this program, I’m actually producing recognizable tunes after only two weeks. I’ve tried all the rest, Mike’s program is the best!” Its reviews like these that allow the product to speak for itself.

Online Teacher Now Offers Guitar Lessons For Real Life Application

2007-02-09T00:00:00-08:00

Queensland, Australia (IPRWIRE) Fri, Feb. 9th, 2007 -- Mike Hayes (www.guitarcoaching.com), renowned guitarist and teacher from Queensland, Australia, has developed a new method called Express Guitar that is geared to teach aspiring guitarists useful tunes in no time.

In the past, the best way to learn to play guitar was to practice basic chords and learn simple children’s tunes that were worthless in a setting where a player wants to impress a crowd. Hayes’ Express Guitar method focuses on simple chords that require only two to three fingers as a starting point, allowing students to build upon maintaining a "groove." Because the human response to music begins with rhythm, followed by melody and then harmony, the Express Guitar method hinges guitar lessons on building skills in this order.

In many cases, thick fingers or small hands play a role in the difficulty of learning to play guitars, making it hard for some to avoid accidentally pressing a string and causing others problems with reaching a string. Through Hayes’ impressive teaching method, new players are encouraged to design their own chord shapes that fit their hands and personal abilities.

Rev. Ron Leakey of Brooksville, Florida states: "I have tried books from the library and book store. I came across Express Guitar and wow, I am sold. I just love the way that the course is set up, simple precept upon precept. Express Guitar is the best teaching program out on the market today, bar none."

These guitar lessons start with learning a handful of chords in a way that is easy for beginning guitarists to use with untrained fingers. The simplified teaching tool allows new players to learn enough chords in just ten minutes to play some of the most well-known songs on the radio today, including hits by Eric Clapton, John Mayer, and more. Many songs are built off of the same simple chords, and it is quick and simple to build a catalog of 50 songs for a party.

Pip Price of The Red Lion Inn in England says, "I don’t have any spare time in my business, but Mike’s course allows me to fit in fifteen minutes a day and see results."

Anyone aspiring to learn to play guitar with little time on their hands and a lot of frustration at failed previous attempts can visit www.guitarcoaching.com to learn more about Mike Hayes’ new Express Guitar method.
