FAQs

I'm just starting out - can you help?

As a beginner, all the information out there is overwhelming.

You don’t want to develop bad habits, and you might not even be sure yet if this is for you!

Studies have shown that 90% of beginning guitarists quit in the first year – we don’t want that to be you 🙂

We help beginning guitarists like you discover the joy of playing guitar by providing the right information, teaching and support to help you develop your musical potential.

We’ll make it easy and fun to get started!

I play already, but I'm stuck - can you help?

It’s very common to get “stuck” and feel like you’re not making any progress

And a big problem with self-learning is that you “don’t know what you don’t know”.

Often it’s those hidden gaps in your knowledge that will get you to the next level.

But how do you find these things on your own, and get the right information and support to fix them?

We help self-taught guitarists like you to fill the gaps in your playing and take it to the next level, with numerous opportunities for you to showcase your music to others.

Am I too old to learn guitar?

Perhaps playing guitar has been something you’ve always wanted to do, one of those “bucket list” items you’d like to do in your life. Maybe you regret that you didn’t take lessons as a kid, or started playing and gave up at a certain point. Procrastinating and doing nothing won’t help! If you’ve loved music all your life and always wanted to try playing guitar, there’s no better time than now.

Can't I just teach myself?

Despite all the folklore about great players who were “self-taught”, if you’ve been trying to learn to play guitar on your own you’ll have found that you won’t get the results you want that way.

Amongst other things, there’s no structure, you leave big gaps in your playing and understanding, and jumping from one resource to another ultimately just leads to feeling overwhelmed and doubting whether you can ever play guitar the way you want to.

No matter how good the information, you can only ever get so far on your own.

Why? Because you need much more than the raw information and materials to be able to play guitar.

You can be sure that your musical heroes didn’t learn to play guitar on their computer…

Every week we see prospective students who have tried to “teach themselves” and failed.

The good news is that if you’ve tried teaching yourself and struggled, don’t worry – it’s not you, it’s the methods you are trying to use that are holding you back. We can help!

I never would've believed that I would have the confidence to perform and write songs, and now I'm even in a band - life is full of music now!

Thanks to AGS, the bits and pieces of musical knowledge I learned in the past are now coming together and making sense. I feel inspired, focused, and highly motivated to practice. The lessons are well structured and thoughtfully delivered by outstanding teachers.

The good thing about having “real” lessons is that you learn to do things correctly, whereas with online lessons you’re just hoping you’ve got it right. I like the fact there’s a good structure to the lessons, and lots of variation. It makes it really interesting – it’s never boring learning to play the guitar here!

I’d reached a bit of a “flat spot”, I needed something to push me along further. The lessons have given me confidence to move outside my comfort zone… confidence to do more and understand more about what you can do with this thing. It’s just a great environment at the School.
