Common questions

Which one should I start with?

For guitar, the Guitar Pathway is the complete course: start at Book 1, or at the first book whose test you can't pass yet. The 30-day plan is a short taster, and Know Your Fretboard is a one-book guide to the neck for players who know their open chords. For piano, start with the 30-day plan.

How do I get it?

Straight after payment you can download the PDF, and the link is emailed to you as well so you can get it again any time.

Can I print them?

Yes. They're A4 and designed to print, with trackers and note pages to fill in.

Do I need lessons as well?

No, each guide works on its own. Many students use them between lessons, and James is happy to work through any page with you.
