Are The Lessons Tab, Audio Or Video Format?

The format of your guitar lessons depends on the specific topics you will be learning. Some musical skills and information are best learned via video. Other things are best learned in audio. Some are best in text and tab. And of course many things are best learned using some combination of text and tab, audio and video. To give you an example, when I teach rhythm guitar, almost all of the lessons are audio only, NOT video. Why? Because often times when students watch video guitar lessons, they try to learn from their 'eyes' and not with their 'ears'. The problem is your 'eyes' will never help you to master perfect timing, 'playing tight' or playing in the groove. This is something you must 'hear' in order to learn. Although many students like to learn via video, the fact is, it is proven that learning to master rhythm is best done in audio. Video (in this specific example) easily distracts you from learning with your ears and thus makes the entire learning process much harder. However, when you learn to master guitar vibrato, video is critical because you need to actually see the specific way my hands move and you need to listen carefully as well. And of course there are other musical topics that are best learned in text (or text and tab) alone.

Also, it is very important that you realize that you are NOT simply 'paying for guitar lessons'. You are investing in the RESULT you want to get by studying with me. Furthermore, I will help reach your musical goals in other ways besides the actual lessons. You will find a series of other benefits you will get from me, including: a huge selection of exclusive bonus items to choose from, the private student support forum, live events, guitar instruction master classes, direct and personal feedback on your playing... and of course the very best guitar lessons that are proven to get great results.

"The materials of the Correspondence Guitar Lessons are nothing like I've ever seen before. You're not going to get any more material from a regular guitar teacher. Tom just goes above and beyond with the amount of knowledge that he puts into the lessons, it's just incredible.”

I've become a better guitar player from taking Correspondence Guitar Lessons, no doubt about it. Tom's lessons are WAY better than taking private lessons.

Tom knows the end result of where you want to be and he knows how to get there.
