Once every 4 years, I run a 6-day live guitar training event called “Total Guitar Mastery Training Week”.

As it turns out:

John Williams never practiced alone (at least in his early years.)

He wasn’t allowed to even TOUCH his guitar, unless his father (himself – a pro guitar teacher) was by his side while he practiced. 

Why?

Williams’s father knew something most guitar teachers have no clue about. 

He knew the #1 reason why most guitarists practice for decades & still can’t play the songs they like…

…while others improve at lightning speeds.

He knew the reason most feel embarrassed to play guitar for others.

(And why, when they do play – it sounds nothing like what they hear in their head.)

He knew why most players develop crippling bad habits that make it impossible to ever play well.

Most importantly: He knew EXACTLY what to do about it!

It has everything to do with:
 

When most guitar players practice, they do what comes naturally & “hope it works”. Some may read books on “how” to practice or try to copy what they see others do. 

But they never get real feedback, coaching, guidance and training on their practice habits. 

This is called: practicing by “luck of the draw”. 

If you practice this way & are lucky to have a lot of natural talent – you get really good, really fast. 

But if you don’t - you NEVER reach your true guitar playing potential.

(Imagine if doctors, accountants, airplane pilots, engineers and lawyers learned their craft this way!) 

Is there an alternative?

Yes. It's called "Bulletproof practice". And that is what John Williams’s father made his son do.

How?

He trained his son in every practice session. He corrected Williams’s mistakes & made him practice the right way. ALL. THE. TIME.

And - talent or no talent – this left Williams no choice but to become a world-class player. 
 

By that I mean: Correct your every mistake. Prevent tiny, easily-fixable flaws from blowing up into lifelong bad habits.

What if someone erased any bad habits you may have now (even if you’ve had them for 30+ years)? And train you the way Olympic trainers coach their athletes. 

How much better of a guitar player do you think you’d be by now?

And let me ask you:

If your answer is “none” – now you know why you (and most people who ever pick up a guitar) never had the chance to play the way you want and deserve.

Now you know why you’ve only been admiring your favorite players from a distance, but never learned to play like them.
    
And now you know why you can’t blame “lack of talent” or “lack of practice time” for lack of playing ability. 

The real problem is: no one ever showed you how to do Williams’s “bulletproof” practice. 

You’ve been left on your own doing “Luck-Of-The-Draw” practice instead.

I don’t know about you, but to me - this feels downright unfair!!!

If you had a dad like John Williams...
 

When I first discovered this back in 1996, I felt like I was on to something BIG.

And since I was already teaching full time (offline), I decided to set a little experiment. That is - to train my students, like Williams’s father trained his son. 

Problem was - back in 1996, I had NO IDEA if I could make it would work. I had no clue what it meant to “train” guitar players. 

I also didn’t know:

• How exactly Williams’s father trained his son. After all, “training” only works if the trainer knows what he is doing. (I don't think Williams’s grandma could have trained him like his father did.)
   
• If training could erase years (or decades) of bad guitar playing habits. Or if it only worked if you did "bulletproof practice" from day 1. (Like John Williams.)

More importantly, I didn’t know ANYONE else in the world doing this training for guitar players. 

Still… there was nothing to lose, so I gave it a shot.. 

I split guitar lessons with my students into part teaching – part training.

I’d make my students literally practice in front of me. As they practiced – I did my best to correct their mistakes, tell them what to focus on and keep them on track when they wanted to give up. And we would troubleshoot their problems together – on the spot.

And what happened?

I realized I had A LOT to learn about being a great trainer.

Some of my students struggled to do what I asked them to do. Others had a truck load of bad guitar practice habits that took a long time to undo.

But ENOUGH students began improving at such an alarming pace - I realized: 
 

So, I started to study expert trainers in sports & other areas of life. I tested, tweaked & refined my skills as a trainer in the years that followed.

And as I got better & better at training others, I realized something critical.

It didn't matter anymore how much natural talent my students had or didn’t have. 

It didn’t matter what they already tried before. What other teachers he studied with. Or what books, courses, DVDs or YouTube videos he watched.
 

As long as the students in front of me did what I told them to do - they made progress. 

Every. Single. Time.
 

And it didn’t take years or months. It took just days… or sometimes hours or even minutes.

Guitarists who once had no idea what correct practice looked like, were starting to practice like pros… and their playing showed it.

Here is what good training looks like:
 

What that means for you is:
 

If you lack natural talent – you can make up for it with expert training & coaching. 
 

Training is the bridge from “Luck-Of-The-Draw” practice to “Bulletproof” practice.

It is the “Great Equalizer” that lets anyone play guitar as well as they want. The same way a gun lets a 70-year old woman defend herself from a young thug.

Since then, “training” has become the backbone of my teaching style. As inseparable as your head is from the rest of your body. 

In the decades that followed, I refined my training to work for virtually everyone. And I taught 100s of guitar teachers how to train their students inside my Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle. 
 

But once I saw what “Bulletproof practice” was doing for my offline students, I realized I had a huge problem.

This training only worked when it was done LIVE. IN PERSON.

John Williams’s father, after all, had to be in the same room with his son while training him. And now I knew why.

Here was the problem:

I was already teaching 100s of students online. Students whom I couldn’t see in person every week. And all of them deserved the same benefits of “bulletproof practice” too.

Plus, call it pride, vanity or ego if you want, but I want to be known as the best guitar teacher ever. (At least while I'm alive.) I want to be the teacher who turned more people into world-class guitar players than anyone else.

To do that, I had to prove my theory.

The theory that any healthy person with 10 fingers can become great at guitar without practicing 8 hours a day …
 

So I started thinking of ways to offer the life-changing benefits of “Bulletproof practice” to my online students. 

And in 2012, I ran the first Total Guitar Mastery Training Week for a small test group of 30 people. 

Their situations were as different as they can be.

• Some people have studied with me for years – others only started a few months prior.
   
• Some have been playing for 30+ years, but haven’t improved in the last 25.
   
• Some were already top-level shredders who wanted even more insane chops.
   
• Some were metal players. Others played acoustic jazz. One person played slide guitar.
   
• Some were in their teens. Others were over 70. And everything in between. 

Each person paid thousands of dollars (plus travel, hotel and food expenses) to be in the room. Some flew from as far as Australia, South Africa and from all over Europe.

But more than money, they put their trust into me. Their expectations were high and I HAD TO deliver. 

So the students, myself and 2 other world-class guitar trainers (whom I handpicked to train alongside me) went to work. 

For 6 days – 8 hours per day, we drilled the students on guitar playing mastery concepts I’ve been refining since 1996. We watched them practice every step of the way and never let up.

The result?

It took the attendees their ENTIRE life to acquire the guitar technique they had before attending Total Guitar Mastery Training Week.

You started to play guitar and over many years, you’ve slooooooowly crawled your way to 100% of your present guitar skills, right?

Total Guitar Mastery Training Week delivers an incredible breakthrough to the guitar players who attend. Things get sped up dramatically and progress looks like this:

The last time we ran the event in 2021, the attendees tracked their own guitar technique speed improvements using a metronome.

Here is the average speed improvement across all tested guitar techniques:

ALL Total Guitar Mastery Training Week attendees improved their guitar speed by 49.9%! For example, a person who was playing at 100 BPM on the metronome before coming to Total Guitar Mastery Training Week, was able to play at 149 BPM at the end of the event.

The guitar players who attended for 6 days, on average improved their guitar speed by 40.7%! For example, that’s like going from 100 BPM to 140 BPM in just 6 days!!!

The guitar players who bought the Ultra Badass Package and attended for 9 days, improved their guitar speed by an average of 60.2%. For example, that’s like going from 100 BPM to 160 BPM in just 9 days!!!

Remember, it took these guitar players their whole lives to get to their previous top skill level!!! And now it took them only 6 (or 9) days to reach their NEW top skill level!!! (40 to 60% higher!)

Stop and let that sink in!

Consider how incredible that is!!!

This is what Total Guitar Mastery Training Week does for you!

And if you’re a beginner or intermediate guitar player, here’s even better news for you:

Less experienced players tended to improve significantly more than the average.

Why?

Because there’s even more opportunity for dramatic growth in skills and speed gains for players who are not already highly advanced.

Total Guitar Mastery WILL give you the enormous breakthrough you’re looking for.

And I guarantee it in writing… Details below.

Here is the technique improvement tracking file from the last Total Guitar Mastery Training Week we ran three years ago.

These are the ACTUAL results of what the ATTENDEES reported:

In addition to the raw data, I let the trainees tell you about their experience in their own words:
 

I’ve since ran Total Guitar Mastery Training Week 3 more times:

In 2014, we had to move to a new (bigger) hotel. And I brought on 3 more trainers (one of whom came to this event in 2012 and has since improved so much – he got more than good enough to train others). 

In 2017, we ran the event for a 3rd time at yet another (much bigger) hotel. 

And I brought on 2 more trainers. Look at the crazy turnout we had:
 

And here is some of the feedback I got from guitarists in the photo above. (Many of these guitarists attended the event for the 3rd time.)
 

In 2021, we were forced to juggle running the event half in-person, half online due to the COVID-19 travel restrictions. And guess what? Even with HALF the attendees not being there in person, ALL Total Guitar Mastery Training Week attendees improved their guitar speed by 49.9%!

In June of 2024, it’s happening again.

Total Guitar Mastery Training Week

June 17-22, 2024
In Crystal Lake, Illinois, USA

  WARNING  
 

This is NOT “guitar lessons”.

You won’t learn anything about scales, basic guitar techniques, ear training, improvising, rhythm or songwriting.

Here is what we are going to do instead:

1. Me & my A Team of master guitar trainers do a deep dive into your guitar playing problems. You get an in-depth diagnosis of what's holding you back, keeping you stuck & getting in the way of playing the way you want.
    
2. Then we prescribe solutions to each problem in your playing & prioritize them in the right order for you to focus on.

And finally: 

3. We hold your hand every step of the way as you practice. We do it for 6 days – 8 hours per day. We continue to fix your mistakes as you make up for all the years (or decades) of not playing guitar the way you want. 

Want to join us?

We are happy to have you, as long as you agree to 5 conditions below. This event is NOT everyone's cup of tea. So please read carefully...
 

This event is for you if you are at an intermediate level and higher. Here is how to tell if you qualify:

If you take Breakthrough Guitar Lessons from me (or have done so in the past), you ARE ready for this training. (Even if you are not as advanced as my top students.)

How can I know this? 

Simple: my #1 priority is to create maximum value for my guitar students. And frankly, I would be pretty dumb to create a guitar event my own students couldn’t come to :)

But what if you and I never worked together?

You have 2 ways to find out if you are ready:

• email me a 60-second audio or video recording of your guitar playing to hess@tomhess.net and I will tell you. (Show me a sample of what you practiced most recently.) 

Or:

• Schedule a (free) 15-minute phone consultation with one of my top trainers (who would be training you at this event) for a free assessment. 

Don’t worry – we won’t lie to you and tell “you are ready” if you aren't. We also won’t twist your arm or try to “convince” or “hard-sell” you to come.

We only want you here if you: 1. Are truly ready for this. 2. Actually want to be here. I’d much rather turn you away if this event is not a good fit for you than have you come and be disappointed.
 

I won't sugarcoat it: this training is very intense. That's because I am dead-serious about delivering "Holy Smokes!" amount of progress to everyone in the room.

So expect to be challenged, pushed & even a bit frustrated at times.

If you are not ready for this - that's ok. It simply means this training is not for you. You've been warned :)

Total Guitar Mastery starts on June 17, 2024. But your playing starts improving on March 25, 2024.

How? 

With my first bonus gift to you: 12 Full Weeks Of Total Guitar Mastery Pre-Training. (You receive the first module 12 weeks before the event starts – on March 25, 2024).

I want you to know all the main concepts we’ll be using at the event before you come here. 

This does 3 things:

• It helps you start using them in your playing as early as March 25, 2024 and become a better guitarist before you even show up at Total Guitar Mastery Training Week.
   
• It helps me and my team to do what we do best – train you & work with you directly on your guitar playing. We don’t want to read to you like you are 5 years old. We want to hit the ground running and make you better the minute you come here. 
   
• It prepares your hands and your brain for this training. 

If this sounds like "way too much work", sorry, but Total Guitar Mastery Training Week is not for you.
 

They say, “a picture is worth a 1000 words”. But I believe that: “proof is worth 1000 assurances”.

So instead of assuring you that my students get results, watch them play and be the judge :)

Disclaimer: these are (some of) my all-time best students who have been with me for many years. They worked MUCH HARDER than the average person. Most importantly, they were all very coachable and did everything I asked of them.

I'm not promising you will play like them if you come to Total Guitar Mastery Training Week.

What I AM promising is to train you THE EXACT same way I trained them. (Actually, it’s going to be better for you. Because each time I run the event, myself & my team are better trainers than before.) 

If you put in the same work my top students did – there is no reason you can’t learn to play just like them.

By the way: it doesn't matter if you play acoustic, electric or bass guitar. Or if you play classical, country, jazz, heavy metal or blues. If you meet the minimum skill level standard – you can attend this training.

Heads up: this event has always been “reassuringly expensive” & always will be. At the same time – it’s within reach (financially) for anyone truly serious about their playing. 

We’ve had guitar players fly from India, Vietnam, Poland, Lebanon, Ukraine, Croatia, Paraguay, Malaysia, South Africa, Argentina and other countries with weak economies. (In total, guitarists from 51 countries attended my events over the years.)
 

If you (like me) believe “you get what you pay for”, you wouldn’t want this event to be cheap. You probably already tried “cheap” and “free” ways to fix your playing. And isn’t that why you are reading this page right now? 

Plus, if I really can help you make “Holy Smokes!!!” amounts of progress in your playing…

Would you even believe me if I promised to do it for a few hundred bucks?

So, take a deep breath…

The tuition is $1997. (Payment plans are available.) 

And no, this does NOT include your hotel, flight and food costs. 

If this is more than you want to invest in your guitar playing – that’s ok. And if paying this amount takes food off your family’s dinner plate – please pass on this & save your money. This event is not for everyone. 

But I found – the more you pay for something, the more you value it. The more likely you are to actually show up, do what I tell you & get results.

Plus, the high price raises your (& everyone else’s) expectations. And that’s the way I like it.

Your high expectations put more pressure on me to (over) deliver on my promise to you. Because if I don’t – I risk something much more valuable than money: my reputation. 

And much of my success has come from giving people MORE than what they expect & pay for – when they put their trust in me.

Plus, the price limits the group size – to give you (& everyone else) more attention & more value. 

Although as you can see from the photos – the “high” price hasn’t exactly done its job of keeping the event small. Plus, my team & many attendees have told me many times I should be charging more for this training.

So that means: 2024 may be the last year I offer the event at this low of a price. (Next time, I may well DOUBLE the tuition.)
 

Now you might be wondering:

Is there a chance this training doesn't work for you?

Of course. To date, my success rate (of doing this training with thousands of people) has been 100%. But there is always a risk someone will be the very first guitar player I can’t help. And you might be that unlucky person. But even then – I’ve got you covered. (See my money-back satisfaction guarantee below.)

And here is something else: 

I created this event, knowing full well most guitar players have long given up on their dreams. Most are so skeptical - they feel Instant Disbelief when someone offers to help them. 

And I know most will read this page, see all the proof of this training working for other people & still think it’s “too good to be true”.

That’s why I heavily reward those who still believe in themselves & have faith that someone will do what they promise to do. And have the guts to act on their instincts.
 

And that’s why, when you join us for Total Guitar Mastery Training Week 2024, you get these bonuses FREE to maximize your results:

Big Bonus Gift #1: “Total Guitar Mastery Success Implementation System” with all my training, strategies & guitar mastery tactics.
 

I asked myself: “If I were to put in print the most valuable gems of guitar wisdom I’ve learned in 33 years of playing guitar, what would I say?”
 
This was the result.
 
It’s not for sale anywhere, for any price (but if I did sell it, I’d set the price at $1000).
 
I give it as a gift to all who attend Total Guitar Mastery Training Week live. And I only put it in your hands AFTER you sign an agreement not to sell, copy, share or redistribute in any from or fashion.

Here is a sneak preview of what you discover inside:
 

Big Bonus Gift #2: 12 Full Weeks of Total Guitar Mastery Pre-Training before the event even begins

To maximize the results you will get at this incredible event, you need to learn the main concepts we’ll be using at the event, ‘before’ you get here. Why? Because the more you learn and do things before you arrive, the more time I can invest directly into your guitar training (and less explaining fundamental concepts you should have learned before)… So I’m going the extra mile (in advance) to ENSURE your guitar playing will be completely transformed at this event! This ultra exclusive private training will prepare you for the event, and ensure that you become a better guitar player EVEN BEFORE you attend this event!

Total value = $684

Big Bonus Gift #3: Certificate Of Total Guitar Mastery

This certificate looks great on your wall & is something you can feel very proud of.

Plus, if you teach guitar – you gain an instant credential other teachers in your area do not have. And that means you can charge more money for your guitar lessons.

Value = Priceless!

Big Bonus Gift #4: Free HESSFEST Ticket For A Friend

Option 2: you can wait to join Total Guitar Mastery Training Week in 2028. This may be the right thing to do (if you’re ok with waiting 4-5 years… and possibly paying DOUBLE to attend next time).

Option 3: you can join us at the upcoming event in 2024. 

By this point, you should know what’s best for you.

Still have questions?
 

I really want to attend Total Guitar Mastery Training Week and can afford it, but I am not sure of my schedule in June 2024. What can I do?

Send me an email at hess@tomhess.net and tell me about your situation. I may help you find a solution.
 

Where will I be staying?

The event takes place in Crystal Lake, Illinois, USA.

You will get full details with the hotel address and a link to book your (deeply discounted) hotel room after you register for Total Guitar Mastery Training Week.

Are hotel, flight and meals included in my event tuition?

No.

What if this doesn't work for me?

If you read this entire page & still doubt I and my team of trainers can help you – there is no pressure to attend. This event is not for everyone and it may not be for you. 

That said, I’ve yet to see anyone show up to any of my training events, do what I told them to do and have it “not work” for them. 

Of course, there is always a chance you might be the very first guitar player whom I can’t help. You might become the 1 blemish on my otherwise perfect track record. That IS possible. But even then – I’ve got you covered.

You are protected by…

My Ironclad 100% Money back guarantee! You will be very happy you attended – guaranteed! Don’t make your decision now. Instead, register, attend the event, test my strategies. And if you aren’t 100% convinced this is not one of the very best investments you have ever made in your musical life … and you are not 100% satisfied by the end of the first day of the event… I’ll gladly refund 100% of your tuition! (Please note that all payments are final and refunds can only be given under this condition).
 

Do I get a refund if I buy my ticket, but can’t come?

Here is the refund policy:

My Ironclad 100% Money back guarantee! You will be very happy you attended – guaranteed! Don’t make your decision now. Instead, register, attend the event, test my strategies. And if you aren’t 100% convinced this is not one of the very best investments you have ever made in your musical life … and you are not 100% satisfied by the end of the first day of the event… I’ll gladly refund 100% of your tuition! (Please note that all payments are final and refunds can only be given under this condition).

What if my situation is unique?

Schedule a (free) 15-minute phone consultation with one of my top trainers (who will be training you at this event). Tell him your situation & get all your questions answered. 

Will this work for my style?

Yes. Your style doesn’t matter. We’ve trained guitar players in metal, blues, classic rock, jazz, fusion & classical styles. We trained acoustic players, bass players, as well as 7 & 8-string guitar players.

The training process is exactly the same. 

Will this work for acoustic guitar playing?

Yes. (See previous question.)

Will this work for bass guitar?

Yes. (See previous question.)

How much time do I need to practice to attend this event?

Most guitar players who come here practice between 30-90 minutes per day. (Only a few consistently practice longer than that.)

That said - at this event, you will practice guitar a minimum of 8 hours per day – for 6 days.

So you should plan to increase your practice time to an average of 60-120 minutes per day in the 2-3 months before the event. This prepares your mind (and your finger calluses) for long days of playing during your training.
 

Can I attend Total Guitar Mastery Training Week if I have a hand injury and/or a health condition?

What I say below may sound crazy (so be skeptical if you want).

But guitar players with these health conditions & disabilities have been to my events:

• 2 students were totally blind.
   
• 1 student was legally deaf. 
   
• 2 students had focal dystonia. (They admittedly struggled. But we tailored the training to their ability to play.) 
   
• 1 student was recovering from a recent liver transplant. (He had to wear a special mask over his face during the training.)
   
• 1 student flew across the country with a wheelchair.
   
• 1 student had Autism.
   
• 2 students had Asperger’s disease. 
   
• 1 student had a terminal heart condition.

Did all of them make the same progress as my top students? No, of course not. But they made enough progress to want to attend my events more than once (in several cases). And if you join us in 2024, you’ll meet some of these people too.

Bottom line?

If you are healthy enough to drive – there is no reason this training can’t work for you. (That is - if you apply what I train and coach you to do & you meet the minimum skill level standard.)

What if I have other questions?

Schedule a (free) 15-minute phone consultation with one of my top trainers (who would be training you at this event) & get all your questions answered. 

Don’t worry – we won’t lie to you and tell “you are ready” if you aren't. We also won’t twist your arm or try to “convince” or “hard-sell” you to come. 

We only want you here if you: 1. Are truly ready for this. 2. Actually want to be here. (The trainer you will be speaking to has strict instructions from me about this.) I’d much rather turn you away if this event is not a good fit for you than have you come and be disappointed.

You can also email me directly at hess@tomhess.net

P.S. 

Look at what guitarists are saying:
