About this listen

It took me years before I understood the basics of guitar!

I could play and read tabs - but I didn't really understand what I was doing.

It doesn't have to take you that long!

You can learn the basics here in just a few minutes!

This book is here to make things simple! I'm going to break things down and make it so simple, that you’ll understand the basics of guitar theory from day one!

How can this book do that?

I'm sure you've heard people say: “If you want to be a real musician, you have to learn theory.”

Well....

Wrong!

You don't need to know all the theory in the world - you just need to know some very basic fundamentals!

This book cuts out all the garbage and gives you a simplified, streamlined reference guide to everything you need to know to play about 90 percent of the most popular songs of all time!

How much do I need to memorize?

As much or as little as you need!

I know you have commitments, I get it - that's why I wrote this simple reference guide.

This book has been designed with just the basics in mind, and you can turn to it any time for reference.

(I've even included blank charts at the back so you can print off and write your own favourite chords down!)

It doesn’t matter if you just started school, or are in your mid retirement years!

In Essential Chords and Scales, you’ll discover:

A brief introduction to music theory

The top secret guitar hack that will have you playing like a pro in no time!

The essential chords that will help you play all your favourite songs.

The most popular and essential scales and modes.

Pentatonics, chromatics, jazz scales....

And much more.

Most people buy a guitar and just look up their favorite song charts to learn to play songs, but have no idea how or why to play the chords as shown.

You can get ahead so much faster if you learn a few basic fundamentals to carry you through 90 percent of musical situations!

It really is that easy and simple!

If you want to improve faster with a bullet proof reference guide and simple-to-understand music theory tutorial so you can impress your friends and family with your guitar skills, then scroll up, and click the “buy” button right now.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I struggled for years.. Not anymore!!

I started taking lessons was I was a boy.. Let me tell you my journey with guitar has been bumpy to say the least. When I was in classes, I always felt like the guy who was being left behind. I felt like I was missing something that my peers had, that held me back from progressing faster. Once I found this book my skills completely flipped around. Nick is truly a professional at his art, he helped me discover how I can play guitar better than ever in my life. He has a knack for teaching and boiled it down to a system that for once I understand. Now I am breezing past the people in my classes and literally shocking my teacher of many years. I used to think I didn't have talent but really I didn't have an amazing teacher like Nick! I feel ready now to put on a show at my highschool reunion to impress all my old class mates. I am almost in tears because this book is seriously changing my life. I can't thank you enough! I am going to send a copy of this book to all my guitar class mates and friends. It is seriously that good. The small price I paid for this book is literally priceless. I would have paid $100 for this, which makes this almost free. But don't take my word for it, you have to try it yourself!

So Thankful for this Book!

As I'm just starting to learn the guitar, this book couldn't have come at a better time! It's not full of fluff, but precise and to the point. I feel so much more secure in being able to play and appreciate the simplicity of this book. It's not long, and I didn't feel like I had to wait forever to start learning. Nick is an amazing example of someone who provides value in his books! As a beginner, I needed something like this, and I would highly recommend it.

pro

This is definitely not your typical "learn guitar" cassette tape that you get at the library back in the day. He's got a professional presentation and even the PDF companion booklet is well done.

Essential guide to all guitarists

I have a guitar at home that I attempted to learn many years ago. I like that Nick made this book very informative and easy to follow. I think many beginner guitar enthusiasts will find this book beneficial like I do. It’s not theory dense and contains only the essential information you need to play chords and scales. The chords and scales presented in this book will help improve many musician skills and could be easily incorporated into your music.

Like Having A Personal Instructor.

This audio book brought clarity and better understanding to my guitar playing, allowing for improved skills. Filled with lots of great information for beginners and the PDF guide is also a helpful reminder. Definitely a necessity if you are learning on your own. This book made learning comfortable and fun.

Great teacher and content!

I have been playing guitar as a hobby for a few years now. I just learn random songs that I like for fun.
But this audiobook taught me so much in a small time! Really simplified the fundamentals for me. I hadn’t looked in to scales etc so thanks for this!
Awesome job.

Super-valuable! A must have!

This audiobook is so dead simple and fun to listen to it is a must have for anyone learning guitar!

I love how easily accessible this book was! I’ve studied guitar briefly and it was overwhelming for me but this made it much less intimidating for me.

This nugget from the book just blew my mind, “Anything you play in one key - you can play in EVERY other key with EXACTLY THE SAME FINGERING.” Wait what?! I definitely never realized that.

It’s cool that the author narrated the audiobook himself, it really makes it feel like a great private lesson. Not full of theory and fluff, just everything you need to get playing quickly!

The PDF Bonus is such a valuable resource for me, it really helps me be able to retain the information by absorbing it in multiple formats.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing!

Very very very well narrated and written! This was thoroughly enjoyable to listen to. I loved how short of a listen this was and how much content was offered. It was really easy to follow, and everything was explained in the perfect way. Thank you for creating such a handy little guide! Must buy if you want to learn guitar or have more under your belt!
