Attention – fingerpicking, strumming or acoustic guitarist over the age of 40? You will want to read this.

---

Make more progress with your fingerstyle and acoustic playing in less than 30 days than you have all year using a simple, step by step method

If you want to learn about the totally revamped EGIC, how it is inspired by a popular T.V. gameshow, how it uses scientifically proven methods for learning faster and C.I.A. “Profiling”… 

…helping you to play the most beautiful fingerpicking songs, have more fun, and fix your technique, then read on…

 

From the studio of guitar teacher, Dan Thorpe

Hi, my name is Dan Thorpe. The first thing you should know is that I am not a “natural” guitarist.

I do not have a degree in music and have NEVER studied it formally.

I had to learn guitar the hard way with my own frustrations over the years BUT…

 

Over time I have developed a method that has transformed the playing of 1000s of beginner and intermediate fingerpicking and acoustic guitarists who were learning later on in life.

“I am very impressed with your teaching style. You explain everything really clearly and do not lose me on the way. It is note for note tuition and this is EXACTLY what I need. You have obviously taught many students over the years and it comes over. “

If you ever feel humiliated seeing a friend, or worse, an 8-year-old rip it up on guitar… I know how you feel

When I started learning guitar, I would struggle night after night…

Constantly doubting myself and wondering if I was good enough.

Every time I heard a buzzing note, muted string, or made a frustrating error, it felt like the four walls of my room were closing in on me…

Suffocating my dreams to learn guitar… one bad note at a time.

Even Bob, my dog, would run off when he would hear me play.

This was made worse when I saw a family friends 8-year-old grandson play guitar, and he…

…played the socks off the thing.

Like a little Clapton or Paul Simon, he was up and down the neck, fingerpicking beautiful melodies…

All at age 8!

That was a kick in the teeth.

All I got was a horrid noise – like angry birds scratching at a chalkboard.

The blood pulsed through my skull, I was so frustrated.

I had enough.

I had played for a while, still had no songs to show for it AND then I got laughed at…

I was ready to quit but… something held me back.

I just didn’t want to look back in 5, 10, or even 20 years and wish I had stuck with it, and be full of regret.

Determined, I gave it one last go…

My friend was a great player.

I asked him for advice.

One night we went to his house and jammed.

I was nervous but played.

It felt good to finally play in front of someone, but then…

…After playing, he looked at me shocked.

For a moment I thought he actually enjoyed my playing…

But no.

He simply laughed.

He apologised (he was a good guy) but that hurt.

I almost got out of there straight away, but I convinced myself to stay.

That turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made…

As the advice, he gave me, and five key principles in particular…

Turned out to be some of the most powerful I ever had…

 

The strange “advice” on exactly how to fix the biggest issue when learning guitar

He shared with me some advice he learnt from a wise old (and now long deceased), classical guitarist.

This guy taught him how to erase his sore fingers and pain when playing.

“Let me show you this,” my friend said.

“Whatever you say, will never work for me,” I said. “I’m just not good enough”.

The advice was rather crude but he said “to treat and caress the guitar like a beautiful woman”.

Simple advice but it worked.

Especially when he explained the details within it.

 

Miss this lesson and it can cause crippling pain and frustration with your playing

It was probably the most important lesson I ever had.

It was lesson #1 – and I finally checked it off.

I practised and practised for days.

After playing with far more ease a few days later I quickly realised I was now free from the crippling tension that held me back before.

I was actually having a bucket load of fun when playing.

A whole new and exciting world of guitar playing was open to me.

One that I didn`t think was possible – at least not for me.

Finally, I felt confident, and for the first time, believed I could now be the guitarist I had always wanted to be.

I only wanted to play for myself…

…but over the next few months, I got complimented from friends and family.

My mate who laughed was shocked later year when we jammed…

BUT, this time he loved our jam and we had a great time.

It felt great to have true confidence in my playing and to know I would keep developing day after day.

 

Be warned though – these ideas are rarely talked about in the world of music tuition and they are a little unconventional.

….BUT they are backed by science and the proven results of my many students.

 

 

The EGIC now comes with brand new features,  inspired by scientific research, the C.I.A. and even my favourite game show…

If you have been a member before, the new features, look and layout will surprise you.

Here are just some of the things inside the EGIC…

 

Discover the T.E.S.T. Method for making more progress in 30 days than you might have done in a year. The five key principles my friend introduced me to were Technique, Enjoyment, Specific Plans, Time Management AND then…TESTING you on your playing.

…They are the basis for my tuition. I teach all five factors in a variety of groundbreaking ways, using 21st-century technology… all to make you a better, guitarist from day 1 of the EGIC.

 

Fix your sore fingers, aching hands and learn to play with freedom – The “In Focus” mini-courses feature the critical lessons 99% of guitar teachers do not know about and the lessons most people NEVER get. These are the secrets to playing without pain, sore fingers, frustration and discomfort, and more…

 

An exclusive monthly bonus only available for current members (future members will never get it). We demystify some of the most practical and fun guitar techniques in the simplest way in minutes, meaning more guitar playing fun for you.

 

Get help, support and all your guitar playing questions answered in our new community

Enjoy the “Mini-forum” where like-minded guitarists…

All help pull each other through the trenches, motivating and inspiring one another through each stage of the guitar playing journey.

Ask questions, seek answers, get help.

 

The sneaky way I get students to learn over 50% more.  Studies show that “retrieval learning” helps you learn twice as much. Guitarists rarely do it but while inspired watching reruns of my favourite quiz show called The Chase, I decided to research and deploy this new “Quiz” section, so you can remember more, and at a faster rate.

 

Learn the best songs AND save time with my straight to the point, no-nonsense lessons – You will NOT complain of a “lack of time” again

 

New lessons on the 1st of every month. EVERY month, you will get your brand new set of short, time-saving and right to the point, lessons sent to via email. These are short, concise and clear, so you can learn quickly and without fluff – saving you time so you can enjoy your playing and do other stuff,

 

My playlists of the most beautiful fingerpicking, strumming songs and riffs – all ordered by levels of difficulty – Learning random songs is frustrating but here I make it clear which song will suit you and when – ultimately, saving you loads of time.

 

Make rapid progress if you are short on time with over 33 inspiring “Two-minute challenges”. Get tested on your fingerpicking, strumming, ear training, fretboard knowledge, theory and more – in less time than it takes most of us to find out car keys!

 

The EGIC is a breeze to use. If you do NOT like technology, fear not, as I take you by the hand in the “Orientation” section, showing you exactly how to move around and navigate the EGIC with ease, like you are a captain on the high seas.

 

How the EGIC uses personality profiling as inspired by the CIA to make sure each personality type will get the most from it. 

Back in the 1960s, the C.I.A. used profiling tests to analyse some of the most powerful people in the world. These profiles are still used today. I took the results of these to make sure the EGIC will work for each personality type.

….For example, inside we have the quizzes (competitive people), mini-forum (socialites), challenges (determined) Supercharger lessons (for readers), “In Focus” lessons (for videos learners), the riffs (for those short on time) and more…

…Meaning more fun for EVERY member.

 

Get these 3 exciting things perks of being a member too:

• Enjoy the big benefits of the Members Area, (which includes an exciting “trail hunt”)
• The “Supercharger” lessons where you will learn the sophisticated styles and secrets of players such as Clapton, James Taylor and more.
• …And get 25% discounts on all e-Courses and eBooks

 

PLUS… You can even get free gifts delivered to your door – Inspired by the most successful Olympic countries around, I designed the “Leaderboard” to motivate all members…with prizes for the winner. 

Take part, earn points and move up the leaderboard (it is NOT skill-based, instead, it is all about joining in, so do not worry if you are a beginner).

Go bigger, faster and stronger, like your Olympic heroes and get great guitar gifts for doing so.

 

Let me stop you there for a minute to talk about something most people like to sweep under the carpet…

Fact #1 – Most guitarists don’t enjoy their playing nearly as much as they would like – especially those who are learning later on in life.

• Most of you toil away for months, years and even decades…
• Never really feeling “in love” with the guitar and finding learning it harder than you ever imagined it would be.
• The good news is, this can change and if you think you are “not good enough”, think again.

 

Fact #2 – Everyone, gets stuck and this goes for all intermediate guitarists, as well as legends such as Clapton, James Taylor, etc…

• Even Paul Simon would get stuck sometimes, saying things such as “I am not a good enough guitarist to improvise on it” – and that is coming from a legend of the acoustic guitar!
• Most guitarists who try to learn, give up, but over 95% of my private students (all over 50) continue to love and learn the guitar to this day.
• You too can learn how to get “unstuck” in the EGIC just like many others.

 

 

Check out how these specific lessons…
