Listen
to a brief introduction
From Chris Standring
Dear fellow
guitar enthusiast,
My name is Chris Standring. I am a recording artist and music educator and
I can't tell you how excited I am about a brand new guitar program I have
developed. I am excited because this is something that I have been thinking
about for many years and finally after burning the midnight oil for what
seemed like forever, has now come to fruition, and surpassed my own high
expectations I might add....
In my 20 something years as a professional musician I have come across many
guitar methods, most of them relating good information that is relevant
to the student. However, most of the books and DVDs I have seen seem to
pander to the reader or viewer and dwell on subjects that are just not thorough
enough. What is more, there are a million web sites offering free lessons.
So why on earth have I spent over a year of my precious time developing
another? I hear you ask...
I'll tell you why. First of all free lessons are all well and good. But
I see way too many websites, courses, methods and DVDs discussing particular
aspects of the guitar that the student cannot fully absorb because in order
to play this, one has to know that, and all too often that
important knowledge is not discussed at all. In short, music instruction
is just way too scattered. It's just not thorough enough.
Second, technology is at an all time high! The courses presently existing
right now in book form are almost redundant. Sure it's nice to read music
from a book on a music stand and pop a CD in your stereo to hear an audio
example, but wait 'till you see what I've got for you, you simply won't
believe it!
"Move
over Mel Bay! 'Guitar Made Simple' is an extremely well thought
out beginners program, with a very thorough and personal approach
to help you easily learn how to play the guitar... correctly!
So much more than trying to learn alone with just a book, this
brilliant system connects with you as if an instructor is right
with you in your own home. Well done Chris!"-

I
have the most forward thinking, practical, useful, thorough and talked about
method existing ANYWHERE in today's market!
If you want
to seriously learn guitar the right way, the correct way, the thorough way,
and learn from a real professional who knows what it takes to play at a
super high standard, then I urge you to read on because I have some life
altering lessons to give you.......
The Guitar was made to be simple!
So why on earth does it always seem like rocket science when learning to
play it?
There are a number of reasons. First, Many teachers take pride in their
achievements, and after all why wouldn't they? But for some bizarre reason
they relish in presenting straight forward stuff, as if it were a dissertation
in physics?
Others clearly like to concentrate on one particular aspect of guitar playing.
All very well, but it assumes previous knowledge which is immediately overwhelming,
especially for the beginner.
Other times, and most commonly, the material is not logically presented.
This is not to say it is wrong, but presenting such a wealth of information
simply MUST be organized, logical and clearly thought out. One subject must
follow the next and convey the right amount of information so the next subject
can be tackled and studied effectively.
Not only that, the guitar should be fun and musically exhilarating! Why?
Because in the early stages, many folks begin to play guitar but soon get
overwhelmed and give up.
My personal philosophy....
If the guitar program is done right, it should provide enough inspiration
to motivate you the student, so giving up is never an option! Period.
But why should you listen to me?
Well you don't have to actually. In fact I would prefer it if you listened
to everyone else recommending my program. You can read a few reports here.
"This
online program is a must for those who want a direct approach
to the guitar. It has given me the confidence to tackle any
type of guitar music. Simplicity, that's the key. I ask myself
what I want to know, and it's there in the program. And it's
easy to find too. Thanks Chris!" - Dino

But just to
assure you, I have spent the last 20 something years in many many different
musical situations, be it following a conductor in a Broadway style musical,
to reading the heaviest chart on a Hollywood recording session, to performing
in front of thousands of people with my own group. What is more I already
have a hugely successful jazz guitar course (for intermediate and advanced
players) called Play
What You Hear, that students have raved about for years. Since the success
of that course I wanted to present a similar cutting edge method for those
who are not up to the level required for this program.
Enter "Guitar Made Simple"....
Guitar
Made Simple is the most logically presented program for beginners
and intermediates available today.
"Chris
Standring has assembled a beautiful and comprehensive method
for the beginning guitarist. This 'how to' program includes
audio and video examples that guide the student through a logical
path to fretboard understanding. This is a one-of-a-kind tutorial
that has no peers. It's truly an excellent way to start guitar
studies. Highly recommended!"Michael

This course
is designed for two different types of students.
1) Beginner guitarists
2) Players who have been playing for some time who feel they need to go
back and understand the guitar more thoroughly. In other words, those players
with 'gaps' in their playing.
In this jam packed guitar course you will:
Have
65 in depth interactive lessons!
Have
enough information to last you between 5 to 10 years! (depending on
your level)
Be playing
guitar within days from absolute beginner and continue at an accelerated
pace!
Learn
rhythm 'strumming' patterns!
Learn
to play melodies and chords to over 25 well known songs!
Practice
over 300 exercises with highest possible quality audio examples for
each!
Learn
by example and then practice those examples to 'play along' tracks!
"Chris
- First of all let me congratulate you on this fine product
you have produced. I feel that if you're an aspiring student
that wants to learn guitar at any level from beginner to intermediate,
even a semi-professional can pickup a few tricks of the trade
from this masterpiece. Anyone interested in learning to play
the guitar or reviewing what he or she knows would definitely
benefit from this product." - Eddie Rivera GMS
student
But
what is so impressive about this course?
The Guitar
Made Simple online program is completely cutting edge because:
The course
literally 'talks' you through step-by-step from beginner to intermediate!
Chris'
personal touch makes use of streaming audio and video so lessons are
like one-on-one private instruction!
For every
image, diagram, example and exercise, you can click on a file and hear
how it sounds on the guitar!
For every
chord diagram, there is a photo (with 'click to hear' audio) from the
student's perspective, showing that shape!
TAB is
included for every example song and exercise!
Traditional
music notation is included for every example song and exercise!
Super
high quality video throughout for the real nitty gritty stuff!
You can
click on any chord symbol anywhere in the course and see 3 versions
of that chord!
You can
print out the entire course to study away from the computer! (315 pages)
What I do
want to impress upon you is that this is a pretty serious course and it
assumes you want to know how to learn guitar the right way. I have
been playing for over thirty years now (20 as a professional) and I put
some real hard work into it I can tell you. Now in my professional performing
career I get to play with the greatest players in the world both live
and in the studio.
But I'll be honest....
I'm not going to sell you a cheap guitar or a 10 watt disposable amplifier.
I wouldn't recommend anything I personally wouldn't use!
And I'm not going to tell you not to learn theory, I'm not
going to tell you to avoid all those 'pointless' exercises. On the contrary,
I am going to show them to you in their most simplest form and explain
exactly why they are necessary to make you a great musician.
If you are serious about the guitar you must understand that there is
no substitute for practice and commitment no matter who tells you otherwise.
But there are ways to present the material so learning guitar can
be fun and fascinating. And I promise my course will do that for you.
In short this program is the real deal because I would expect nothing
less for myself if I were to start all over again.
"Great course! Your laid back style makes
learning fun, not just a study course. Your technique of teaching
presents a relaxed atmosphere which makes learning easy. I have
gone through the entire course just to see what is offered and
I see nothing left out!" -Robert Nordan, GMS

to find, and a menu of 3 different chord shapes comes up, each with
a photo (from student perspective), and chord diagram. Click on any

of the guitar.

chords, playing songs, and so on. Congratulations!" -

Now picture
this: You have been playing for a couple of years since you started
this course, your playing has taken on a whole new level. You are
jamming along with friends, performing live with a band, maybe writing
your own songs....
Now stop and look back on today. What price tag might you have put
on the information I have given you? Think about how much money you
could have spent on a private instructor. I would hazard a guess at
thousands of dollars....
Well I thought about this long and hard and arrived at the price tag
of $299
However, I have decided to reduce the price to make it affordable
to serious students!
For a limited time, I want you to have the complete "Guitar Made
Simple" home study course for just $69.95
Imagine having one private guitar lesson every week for five years.
One half an hour private lesson with a private instructor averages
at around $30.00. That's $1,800, and money well spent I would say.
But what if I offered you the same amount of information for just
a fraction of the price? ...and the ability to take it all in at your
own pace. What would you think about that?
Your "Nothing to Lose And Everything
To Gain" Guarantee!
When
you buy "Guitar Made Simple", I personally guarantee
that your guitar playing will take on a whole new level. Otherwise
you can return the course and I will refund you 100% (including
your shipping!) I make this guarantee for the 99% who are honest,

of me.
