My Story - the Guitar-eze Story

My name is Frank, and I developed a system of learning guitar known as Guitar-eze, available online since 2001.

It's a unique guitar learning system that avoids most of the traps which hinder the progress of many guitar novices. Guitar-eze is simpler. It's easier. Guitar-eze is designed to get you playing guitar. It's the way I taught myself to play guitar, to pro-level.

I am a self-taught guitar player.

The Guitar-eze Story -

a Guitarist's Journey

"My Pain is Your Gain -

Guitar Made Easier!"

Guitar-eze is the result of my lifelong quest to learn to play guitar.

I've never found an easier way to learn guitar ...and I looked at so many systems - (just like you may have). I practised guitar for years (from age 8 to about 21) with little success (my story might sound like yours). It goes like this:

I was a hopeless guitarist. Right into my twenties.

It was odd, actually, because I was reasonably accomplished on other musical instruments, including, of all things, bass guitar (an instrument I picked up at seventeen and played professionally from the time I was eighteen). But I could play next to nothing on guitar. My goal, my dream, was to learn this instrument. I wanted to play guitar. So I searched... and searched - the music stores... the library... I bought books... I watched others play guitar and envied them (sound like anyone you know?). I asked for pointers... I bought more guitar books...

But - I didn't take guitar lessons. I never had to, on any other instrument, and I wasn't going to take guitar lessons! I wanted to teach myself.

I also wanted to sing and play guitar at the same time.

As I went along my journey, I learned some interesting things about guitar. One thing I already knew - standard tuning seemed extremely difficult to master. My fingers could not do what was required to play the way the books and other guitarists said to. This seemed to be the stumbling block for me.

Then - I learned that a guitar could be tuned different ways (as any guitar magazine and countless websites will tell you). To me it was a revelation - I found out that many of the great performers played guitar in different tunings:

Elmore James - electric slide guitar blues great

Robert Johnson - King of the Delta Blues Singers

Keith Richards - the heart and soul of the Rolling Stones

Joni Mitchell - singer songwriter extraordinaire

...and so many more. There were also many, many guitar tunings. Standard tuning wasn't necessary. It wasn't everything. I came to the conclusion it was holding me back. Standard tuning may be holding you back as a guitar player.

I started to re-tune my guitar... and re-tune it... and re-tune it.

I tried all kinds of guitar tunings. After months of experimentation, I determined one guitar tuning to be the absolutely easiest way for me to play guitar.

...and with it, I did. I learned to play guitar. I became a respectable guitar player. I could sing along with my guitar playing. I knew many, many chords. I could pick out melodies. I could play slide guitar. I learned scales. I learned to solo. I could play acoustic or electric guitar.

This discovery and development gave me the confidence, the courage and the chops, to take it to the next level - public performance.

NOW - all the legwork is done - I'm confident YOU can learn to play guitar too.

Guitar-eze is simply an easier way to play guitar.

By the way, I've put my Guitar-eze

chops to use, both as performer and

teacher. I've played as a side man

in innumerable bands, from rock to

blues, to wedding band, to polka band,

to country and rockabilly. I've also

fronted my own bands, the Highway

Hepcats from 1993 to 1999, the

JumpKatz from 2002 to 2006, and
