RICH MATHERS

"I started taking private guitar lessons for a little over a year. Eventually I got overwhelmed and into a rut. I felt as if my personal instructor seemed to be bored or lost patience with me, making me grow very frustrated. About a month after I quit my personal lessons I started Jonathan's "Simplified Guitar Beginner Course". Now, I have a better understanding of each different chord. I enjoy learning guitar at my own pace and am having a lot of fun doing so – Thanks Jonathan!!!!"Richard Mathers

YOUR TEACHER

Hi, I'm Jonathan. I've been playing the guitar now for over 15 years. I've had the opportunity to compete in Nashville for a songwriters competition, I've had originals on the radio, and I'm currently the music director of my local church. Looking back on my experiences with the guitar, I realize that I've learned a lot of things the hard way. This realization prompted the creation of this course. I want to inform the world of aspiring guitarists that playing the guitar doesn't have to be an insurmountable challenge.
