Trusted by +1,000 students

LEARN A SONG THAT YOU CAN PLAY FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

Meet Lorenz Lasco. He completed the 7 Day Song Challenge and was able to play for his family and create a beautiful memory he will always remember.

"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! He's a very empathetic teacher as he puts himself in the learner's shoes. His style is to hand-hold and to reassure while at the same time, teaching the techniques in bite-size lessons. Highly recommended!"

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU?

Would you love to pick up the guitar and sing and play with confidence?

Do you see others playing and think “I wish I could play like that”?

Are you’re retired and looking for a fun new hobby?

Do you struggle lining up your lyrics and rhythm?

Have you tried to play guitar before and still can't play through 1 song?

Do you find yourself looking at your guitar, wondering how to get started or take your skills to the next level?

Then you are going to love my 7-Day Song Challenge!

HI THERE, I'M JONATHAN...

After playing the guitar for 20+ years and teaching 1000’s of students…

I know how it feels to be overwhelmed when learning to play the guitar. I was there. And still to this day, I've never taken formal lessons, and still don't know music theory or how to read sheet music. And you don't have to either to sing & play confidently.

There are so many directions you can go, it can make you feel overwhelmed and like you are never making any progress.

While others seem to make it look so easy…

All too often frustration, uncertainty, and overwhelm hold you back from actually singing and playing.

That’s why I created the 7-Day Song Challenge.

I will show you that you can learn to sing and play a full song FAST.

Without complicated music theory, spending thousands on private lessons, or leaving the comfort of your home.

Whether you’re completely new to guitar or have already had lessons.

You’ll be amazed at how quickly you improve with the 7-day song challenge.

"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!"

--Ray Schwanenberger

YES, ANYONE CAN LEARN TO SING AND PLAY ON THE GUITAR IN JUST A FEW DAYS

But I know what you may be thinking…

I understand. You’re not alone.

The truth is, you DO NOT need to be naturally gifted or have experience to sing and play on guitar.

This 7-Day Song Challenge caters for all abilities and ages!

I’ve helped student’s in their 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and even 80’s master the guitar and sing! Each week we have student’s that are learning how to play and sing with confidence, many of which never had lessons before!

Just listen to these student’s playing & singing after taking the challenge:

BUT MAYBE YOU ARE ALSO THINKING…

Before coming to me, I noticed many of my students were pushed to learn complicated music theory even though they just wanted to learn to play their favorite songs. But that just held them back!

Instead of making complicated lessons, or boring tutorials, I designed this course to only keep you focused on the essential tools, so you don’t get stuck, lose progress, and give up.

I’ve made this process as simple as possible, taking you through step-by-step, so you can be singing and playing IN 1 WEEK!

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

HOW TO LINE UP LYRICS WITH RHYTHM

Singing and playing at the same time is a common problem that trips up everyone. I'll teach you the secret of "anchor words" in order to keep your melody in sync with your strumming. This is a powerful trick that you can utilize for all future songs you learn.

HOW TO PLAY CHORDS

When you play a chord and it sounds like garbage, what do you do to fix it? Just power through? Or decide your fingers are just incapable? Nope. I reveal 3 secrets that you can utilize to make your muted and chattering strings clear up.

HOW TO STRUM

Keeping a consistent rhythm is a struggle for most. But it doesn't have to be. You're going to learn the most basic and simple strum pattern so that you can wrap your mind around the concept of rhythm in the context of a song. This will enable you to expand to other strum patterns as you continue learning.

HOW TO PRACTICE

You can have all the tools of a song, but if you don't know how to practice effectively, you're wasting your time. I'll teach you 5 different practice techniques, that allow you to isolate problem areas and make incredibly fast progress. You'll also learn how to structure your practice time so you can be consistent & know what to expect day after day.

Meet Your Teacher

Jonathan Reaux began his musical journey as a music director in his local church. His original music has been aired on local radio stations and won him songwriting competitions that sent him to Nashville. Later in his journey, he focused on teaching, and created Simplified Guitar, a YouTube channel with over 230,000 subscribers.
