Welcome

Greetings fellow guitar enthusiasts! I'm Scotty West. Thanks for your interest in our DVD guitar lessons. These 32 hour-long guitar instruction videos contain all you need to know to truly understand your instrument and how it relates to all styles of popular music.

Some guitar lessons have you jumping around sampling this and that so you end up with a scattered vision of how music works. Our video guitar lessons are different. They're designed to be viewed in order so each concept flows into the next until you get what I call "the BIG picture". You'll learn how to play guitar like the pros. You'll finally be able to actually "think" on your instrument ... learn songs by ear ... write your own music ... solo with power and passion. It's easy if you get it explained to you in the right way.

These guitar lessons on DVD provide a solid foundation in music theory, ear training and guitar technique all totally integrated and profoundly well organized. I'm also personally available 7 days a week to answer questions free of charge, if you need help. What other guitar lesson program offers that?

We've posted our first 4 introductory video guitar lessons right here on our Web site free of charge for you to enjoy. Beginners as well as more experienced players are bound to gain valuable new insights in the very first lesson. You'll discover that music is very much like a language and viewing it that way makes it simple and straightforward to understand. You'll find answers to questions that many of you have had for years.

"You were right. The material is interesting, easy to understand and most importantly, it all makes sense!"

David Eads Houston, TX, USA

"All I can say is are you kidding me? I've spent close to $1000 on private lessons and have learned more watching 5 hours of your videos!!!! I'm quitting the private lessons this week and plan to use your method. You definitely have a knack for teaching this stuff."

Ray Copeland Westminster, CO, USA

"You are an awesome teacher and your method is the best. I have used many others ... waste of time! One month of using your method and I'm already seeing great results."

Tom Bowen Aurora, IL, USA

"I just wanted to let you know that your program will make a better musician of me. I can't tell you how much better I can see and understand now. It's kind of like a blind man seeing for the first time."

Ed McNevin Streamwood, IL, USA

"I've been searching for a program like this for over 25 years! I've taken lessons etc., but most of the teachers didn't 'get it'. This is just a wonderful product."

Don Hamm Carrolton, TX, USA

"You don't get to ask any questions but when Scotty is through, you find all your questions have been answered anyway."

Kal Myers Storrs, CT, USA

"I can't put into words how exciting this is! I'm finally beginning to hear notes from my guitar instead of the random 'bing, bong, ding' I made previously."
