after taking the challenge
“I've just very recently started learning to play the guitar. After searching the internet for a learner-friendly system, I realized that Jonathan's methodology is by far the best! Highly recommended!”
“This challenge was just what I needed. A very simply structured method to learn the very basics of an easy song. If you are like me, trying to learn from YouTube videos and not getting the results you desire, I highly recommend taking the 7 Day Song Challenge!”
“Seven days ago, I knew nothing about playing the guitar. Thanks for the challenge, Jonathan. Your lessons are easy to follow and I can't wait to see what comes next!”
“The challenge has given me confidence because this is the first song I have completed. Now I can improve on it as I move forward learning more.”
“I am 70 years young and have struggled to learn guitar for a while now. And the 7 day song challenge has been a great help with my timing and teaching me a good way to practice.”
“The 7 Day Song Challenge allowed me to develop good practice skills, learn chord progressions and strumming, and learn a song to play! It has motivated me to continue learning.”
“Jonathan has such a professional approach to his teachings, I have had several online teachers and none have come close to his ability on teaching guitar. Such ability is very rare.”
“I was surprised at the progress I was able to make in such a short period of time. The way Jonathan breaks down each practice made sticking with the program very easy.”
“I just completed the challenge. It is so wonderful. I'm a bit amazed that I pretty much stuck to the rhythm. I usually find that the most challenging. I hope to sing this for my church real soon! I highly recommend it.”
