Play Better Guitar - Expand Your Horizons
The most adaptable system is Guitar-eze.
If you've already played some guitar... been frustrated... want to play better guitar... want
to play guitar differently... want to be more versatile on guitar... want to play guitar more easily... want to play guitar
by ear... want to play guitar more by "feel"...
Here's where a guitar player can become a better guitar player.
That is - a more versatile guitar player.
Let's face it - every guitar player has changed tunings. Even if it's just drop-D,
or putting on a capo.
What if you could play guitar - really play guitar - for more than just one song or one lick
- in another tuning. You owe it to yourself to try. I've seen the jaws drop when I play. I've watched the
puzzled expressions from the audience. I've seen the raised eyebrows from fellow guitar players. Here's what Wikipedia says about open D tuning, the basis for Guitar-eze.
The comments are always the same -
"what a great sound"
"that's so full sounding"
"you do leads like that?"
"that's a whole new thing"
"wow"
It's all one simple move - to the world of open-tuned guitar. Of course, it's absolutely
perfect for beginning guitar, acoustic or electric.
But it's a whole new world for the guitar player.
Just a few of the benefits of open tuned guitar like Guitar-eze's open-D:
- riffing - like you've never riffed before
- slide guitar - the way it was meant to be played
- harmonic and overtones you never dreamed of
- a low-end crunch like nothing else
- acoustic tone like nothing else
- "ear players" especially love it
- playing by ear is enhanced dramatically
- Guitar-eze open-D opens the door to other interesting tunings
...and on and on. It's as if standard tuning was just the (more difficult)
primer or starting point. Now you can really start to play guitar.
Flipping back and forth is no problem, either. And of course, open tuning is nothing
new. Check any guitar website out there. They all make reference to open tunings. This method just puts
it altogether for a guitarist who wants a different way to play. Players like:
- Keith Richards
- Ry Cooder
- Joni Mitchell
- Elmore James
- Bo Diddley
- Muddy Waters
- Jimmy Page
- Mick Taylor
- Don Everly
- Robert Johnson
- Bonnie Raitt
- John Lee Hooker
...and countless others. So why is open tuning so under-appreciated and under-utilized?
- standard tuning (as the name implies) is the adopted standard
- standard tuning is not the easiest or most versatile tuning
- a simpler guitar method is generally not a good thing for music schools
- standard tuning is great
- open tuning is great too
- add open tuning like Guitar-eze to your guitar arsenal
That's what I suggest on this web site. Especially if progress is slow in standard
tuning. Frustrated guitar player? You owe it to yourself to give Guitar-eze a try.
When you get Guitar-eze, you've got me as often as you need. Help is always just an
e-mail away, anytime.

An Interesting Letter I Got...
...along with an order of Guitar-eze just recently. I thought I would re-produce it here, to illustrate how open-D
tuning (and thus Guitar-eze) can really change it around for the frustrated guitar player:
"I saw on the internet the information reference your open-D instructional material. I have played
guitar, in standard tuning, for seveal years, but never really progressed past the early intermediate level. A couple
of years ago I began playing in open-D, both slide and fingerstyle. My progress has been considerably faster, however
instructional material in open-D is hard to come by. I am looking forward to obtaining your instructional material."
Thank you so much! I hope it helps - I know for a fact that Guitar-eze is the easier way to learn to play guitar
- from personal experience. It's great to know I am not alone.
For guitar players who are frustrated or just looking for another way to play guitar, Guitar-eze may be just the thing.
Plus, you have me as a resource any time, by e-mail, for pointers, tips, questions, more advanced stuff, more chords, help with transcriptions, technique, slide guitar, or anything
else. Let Guitar-eze be your guitar resource.

Thanks for All Your Guitar Inquiries!
So many of you have taken time to compliment the site, ask questions, and share your love of guitar and desire to learn
to play.
Repeatedly I am asked about self-taught guitar and Guitar-eze.
Anyone can learn to play guitar, especially with a simplified system like mine. Young or old, beginner to advanced,
vocalists, you name it.
Your starting point is so simple (an open chord you can play with no fingers on the fretboard), that you will be encouraged
right from the start (how unlike standard tuning is this?). From there chords are so simple to achieve and manipulate
(often with only one finger on the fretboard), you'll wonder why you hadn't "got it" sooner.
I also get questions from guitar players already taking lessons. They often ask if they can incorporate their current
lessons with Guitar-eze. The answer is - of course! Just get Guitar-eze (with the Guitar-eze Chord Book FREE for
a limited time) and ask your guitar to help you along. Guitar-eze can be a stand-alone guitar system, or a wonderful
addition to your existing standard tuning program.
What great way to become:
1) a guitar player
2) a better guitar player.
Look forward to your comments (and orders) this weekend!
