Ten structured song weeks
Five connected learning steps each week, from meeting the chords to a supported musical result.
The 10-Week Guitar Challenge
Build a guitar routine you can keep—and turn it into ten weeks of real playing.
You do not need another pile of unrelated guitar lessons. You need one clear route through chords, rhythm, movement and recognisable songs.
- Short, guided practice with one defined next step
- A complete beginner sequence built around real songs
- A manageable approach designed for busy adult beginners
Before you decide, ask yourself…
What usually happens after the first burst of motivation?
The guitar goes back in the corner. You search for another lesson. You practise whatever looks interesting—and still do not know what to do tomorrow.
The problem is rarely a lack of lessons. It is the lack of a sequence you can keep following.

How the course works
A familiar five-step learning rhythm every week.
You will not be left wondering what to practise next. Each song week moves from learning the necessary shapes to completing one supported musical result.
Each week follows the same learner-friendly rhythm, so the format becomes familiar while the musical result keeps developing.
- 1Meet the chordsLearn only what this week’s song needs.
- 2Play an iconic momentHear a recognisable result early.
- 3Build the movementPractise the chord route calmly.
- 4Find the rhythmKeep the song moving with a clear pulse.
- 5Put it togetherFinish with one supported play-through.
