Step-By-Step Guitar Lessons

Beginner to Kickass is a foolproof beginner’s guitar system — on ’roids. It’s the easiest way to learn guitar. Period. With our system, you can’t fail, even if you think you suck.

Our video lessons will take you step-by-step, from sketchy-sounding noob to actually sounding good on guitar. 

Don’t get us wrong; it takes years to get to pro-level, to be even half as good as a Jimmy Page or a John Mayer. But with Beginner to Kickass, you’ll get the skills you need to …

Play your favorite songs and riffs — and sound good.
Jam and improvise with other musicians.
Play in a band and hold your own.
Become irresistible to groupies (results may vary 😉).

Grab an acoustic or electric guitar and you’re ready to go.

Easy, Foolproof Video Lessons

You’ve been dreaming of picking up a guitar and impressing your buddies and family, but daunted by the reality of actually learning to play. We’ve been there.

Learning can be annoyingly slow and frustrating if you learn the wrong way. When you hit a wall with your learning, it’s easy to just give up or noodle along for years without any real progress.

That’s why we created Beginner to Kickass – to make learning as easy as possible, with rapid results.

Beginner to Kickass is not voodoo magic — it’s an intelligently designed, meticulously crafted, beginner’s guitar system that even the most musically hopeless will succeed with. Here’s why:

STEP-BY-STEP SYSTEM

No confusion, no head-scratching. Be coached every step of the way, with each lesson seamlessly building on the last.

LEARN REAL SONGS

Our system won’t bore you to death, because you’ll learn loads of real songs and riffs with full backing tracks for that “jam-with-the-band” experience. (Don’t worry if you can’t read music or tabs; we’ve got you covered.)

BITE-SIZED LESSONS

You won’t feel overwhelmed. You’ll feel motivated and energized with doable, bite-sized lessons.

PLAY-ALONG METHOD

No need to practice alone. Keep on the straight and narrow and avoid developing bad habits with a 100% play-along method.

A KICKASS TEACHER

Our secret weapon: Alex Leach. If you’re a beginner and want to learn guitar properly, Alex is your man. (Watch the video at the top of this page and you’ll see what we mean.)

Alex is great — I even like his dumb jokes. You’re playing music right from the beginning, with theory and technique introduced at a comfortable pace. I’m definitely going through the whole course again.
DEVIN CRAIN (California, USA)

I warmed to Alex quickly as an instructor. It’s genuinely inspired me to keep improving and practicing.
NICK WEST (United Kingdom)

Alex is a fantastic teacher — encouraging, and he kept it fun.
DUNCAN WAKEFIELD (Australia)

Our teaching technique is insanely simple, with real results. No gimmicks. No nonsense. Grab your guitar, load up the lessons, play along, get good. It couldn’t be easier.

Real Results, Delivered

Don’t let the fact that our system is dead easy fool you …

1

Beginner to Kickass is a fully comprehensive course with a fully structured curriculum.

You’ll get all the beginner fundamentals, knowledge, techniques and skills you’ll need to sound and feel like the real deal … not a guitar hack who plods along.

2

You’ll get better faster, because our system is built on the proven principles of Deliberate Practice …

Deliberate Practice is celebrated in the book Talent Is Overrated, which earned acclaim as a NY Times Best-Seller.

Deliberate Practice is when you work on a skill that requires 1 to 3 practice sessions to master. (If it takes longer than that, then you are working on something that is too complex.) Once you master that skill, you can move on to practicing the next component, which will also take 1 to 3 sessions to master.

The result? With Beginner to Kickass, learning will be easier, quicker and more effective than with traditional learning.

Beginner to Kickass has been tried, tested, and proven. We stress-tested the s*** out of it to ensure effective and rapid results. Check it out …

Meet Will, The Human Guinea Pig

William had doubts about playing guitar. “I would like to be able to play guitar and any attempt at teaching myself in the past has failed”

This made him a perfect guinea pig to put Beginner to Kickass through its paces. Could we turn unconfident Will into a solid guitar player, in just weeks, with our system?

How to Learn Guitar?

Yeah, we’re a bit biased, but we believe Beginner to Kickass is the best way for beginners to start on the right foot and learn everything they need to get good. Here’s how our system stacks up:

YOU COULD LEARN FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS

But with Beginner to Kickass …

You get a fully structured course of lessons designed to work with each other. You won’t get a mishmash of random lessons that leave out vital beginner techniques or knowledge. You won’t be confused about what to learn next.

YOU COULD HIRE A TEACHER

But with Beginner to Kickass …

You’ll save a truckload of cash. If you can find a great teacher, it’s one of the best ways to learn. But good teachers aren’t cheap; a year’s worth of lessons can run up to $3000. Our lessons are a fraction of the cost, just as effective and more convenient — do them whenever you like, at your own pace.

YOU COULD LEARN FROM BOOKS

But with Beginner to Kickass …

You can see exactly how to do the technique correctly and hear exactly what each technique should sound like. No bum notes with us. You also get to use our play-along method, rather than having to figure out stuff by yourself.

YOU COULD LEARN BY USING FREE INTERNET TABS

But with Beginner to Kickass …

You’ll learn the right techniques, in the right order, to get the right sound. You won’t drag along in some random order, or plateau when you should be pushing on. And you won’t need to struggle or waste time with incorrect tabs from sketchy guitar players.

Reviews

This is the first time I’ve felt like I can actually learn to play all the songs and solos I want to. I always worried I had no talent, but you just practice, put in the effort, and you get results. Now I can play in front of friends and family.
RYAN WALSH (CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA)

I’ve quit learning guitar before because of barre chords. So when I got to that lesson and thought, “Holy crap, I can play barre chords” — that was huge. This is the best course I’ve ever taken, and the first time I’ve actually stuck with one to the end.
THOMAS COLLINS (THORNTON, COLORADO, USA)

I was genuinely worried my fingers were too big to ever play guitar. But I’ve learned the techniques to manage them, and I’m confident I can make most chord shapes sound good. I was excited to do the lesson every single day.
PAUL ROSE (UTAH, USA)

I’ve been “playing” guitar since I was 15 and hoping to actually get good at it for once. For the first time, I felt like I was really playing guitar instead of just poking at strings.
LAURA WREN (CALIFORNIA, USA)

My old lessons were just “here’s a chord, here’s a scale… good luck.” This course finally made sense of actually learning to play. I surpassed what I thought I’d learn — I’m WAY better, with real knowledge and confidence now.
R. SCHLEIFER (WASHINGTON, USA)

You’re playing actual music almost immediately. I’d been trying to crack palm muting on my own for years — Alex finally described it in a way that made sense and actually worked.
DUNCAN WAKEFIELD (AUSTRALIA)

30+ Hours of Kickass Lessons

Beginner to Kickass is over 30 hours of super-high-quality, super-effective video lessons, plus essential Course Extras resources with all the key points. Feature packed, this system contains everything you need to get good, with no unnecessary fluff:

SONGS & COOL RIFFS, EVERY LESSON

After every lesson, you walk away with an actual song or riff — real music that makes you sound good. No “Mary Had a Little Lamb” stuff that makes you want to quit by week two.

SCALES: FRETBOARD CHEAT CODES

Practicing scales is a boring, repetitive chore a teacher forces on you. But they’re actually the ultimate cheat codes to the fretboard — unlocking every melody or solo you’ve ever wanted to play.

MEMORIZE THE FRETBOARD, FAST

Most beginners stare at the fretboard with utter confusion. We’ll show you a simple 4-step system so you can find any note without guessing, panicking, or pretending you meant to play that one.

FRETBOARD FLUENCY: OWN THE NECK

Our copy/paste method shows you how to move chords, scales, riffs, and ideas all over the neck — so the whole fretboard becomes yours. It’s the lazy shortcut to sounding like you’ve been at this for years.

READ TABS IN 10 MINUTES

In less than 10 minutes, you’ll know how to read tabs — which means you can start learning the real songs, riffs, and solos that made you want to play guitar. Hear a riff, look it up, play it tonight.

SOLO WITH REAL SWAGGER

Be the person who rips a solo while everyone else watches. We’ll give you the tools to actually express yourself — not just memorize someone else’s licks — and improvise your own killer lead lines with real confidence.

CHORDS YOUR FINGERS WILL OBEY

The real reason chords feel impossible at first isn’t your brain — it’s that your fingers flat-out refuse to do what you tell them. Our bite-sized workouts drill the muscle memory until clean chords just happen automatically.

RHYTHM THAT ACTUALLY GROOVES

Knowing a chord is one thing. Making it groove is where the magic happens. We’ll show you simple strumming patterns, rhythm tricks, and timing skills that turn basic chords into real songs.

CHORD ROADMAP TO EVERY SONG

Forget memorizing 10,000 chord diagrams you’ll never actually use. Our chord roadmap shows you how chords are connected and how to use them in real songs — the stuff that’s in 99% of the songs you love.

EASY THEORY, ZERO LECTURES

No boring theory lectures. We weave bite-sized theory straight into the lessons, so you absorb it without even noticing. You’ll understand what you’re playing and why — the difference between copying and actually creating.

EXERCISES THAT AREN’T BORING

Most guitar exercises are boring as hell. Ours are practical finger workouts that build strength, speed, and control — then plug straight into riffs and songs so you can actually hear the payoff.

How Long to Get Good?

Beginner to Kickass has been designed to put you in the driver’s seat. You can do the lessons at a pace that fits your time and goals. But we also include three flexible schedules too:

1-Month HARDCORE Plan: Get results quick. This is not for the faint of heart; tackle this schedule only if you’re willing to make a strong commitment of time and effort.

3-Month FAST TRACK Plan: The perfect pace for most; Beginner to Kickass in just 3 months.

6-Month CHILL PLAYER Plan: If you’re short on time or prefer to go at a leisurely pace, this is the plan for you.

Whatever Your Style

Style and Substance: With Beginner to Kickass, you’ll get to play rock, metal, folk, blues, country and more.

Jazz Schmazz? Even if you’re not a fan of a particular style, every single lesson will build your core guitar fundamentals, either way. We won’t waste your time with filler.

Extras: Go Further

Squeeze even more juice out of the Beginner to Kickass system with these mighty-fine bundled extras.

JAM-ALONG TRACKS

Studio-quality audio tracks for every song you’ll learn. Dial in your playing and get the feel of playing with a real band. Tracks come in slow, medium, and normal speeds, allowing you to pick the perfect tempo for your current ability. Jam tracks are without the guitar track, so you can experience leading the band yourself.

50 FIRST SONGS PACK

Guitar tabs are good. But our 50 First Songs Pack for Beginners is better. You’ll be able to hear and play along with each riff – pause, rewind and even slow the play-along down. Think tabs with rocket boosters. Beginner to Kickass teaches you how to read tabs – you’ll be surprised at how many songs you’ll soon be capable of playing…
