How I Learned to Play the Acoustic Guitar in Less Than Two Weeks - a very brief guide

"Why I Play the Guitar" ~ Conrad Cooper
- Because there is nothing like the sound of strumming on new strings.
- Worries of the day all fade away when the guitar is in my lap.
- Crappy music played by me is more intoxicating then perfect music coming out of my iPhone.
- Some of the most enjoyable evenings I have ever had started with an impromptu sing-along.
- Every song has its simple version and complex one, there is always more to learn.
- Live music is simply better than anything pre-recorded.
- I play every day. Not because I have to, but because I enjoy it.

I love the guitar. It didn't start out that way. Let's face it. Learning to play the guitar is difficult. If it wasn't, everybody would be able to play.

But I stuck with it and within a couple of weeks I was playing my first song. It's the same song I recommend that you learn in my book because it fueled my excitement and I couldn't wait to learn more.

I discovered that we play the guitar with our subconscious mind, the same mind we type with, and this allowed my conscious brain to relax. I'll teach you why you can't play with your normal conscious brain and how to train your subconscious to play.

Lastly, I'll teach you the best way to get into a routine for your practice. I'll show you why it is more important to practice every day for just a couple of minutes instead of practicing for hours at a time once a week.

I will also include lots of great links to YouTube and other resources.

This is NOT your typical "Learn to Play the Guitar" book. I do not show you the specifics of how to play. There are far too many other resources out there that do this much better than I can. This book covers a part of playing the guitar that nobody else mentions. It illustrates how your body and mind want to learn and how you can go about teaching yourself to play the guitar in a fun and enjoyable fashion.

For the majority of you that have read up to this point, don't bother buying this book. Don't waste your money or your time. Because the fact is most people enjoy the thought of being able to play the guitar but very few will actually go through the process of learning.

But if you are serious about learning. If you are the one in a thousand that is determined to learn how to play no matter how long it takes. If you have already ordered a guitar online or you have borrowed one from a friend and you are ready to learn.

This book will dramatically speed up your learning process and within two weeks you will be playing your first song.

I can honestly say that learning to play the guitar has changed my life. It will change yours also.

Once you do learn your first song, send me an email (conrad@olalm.com). I would love to hear from you.

Best of luck to you.
