Community

Community is our best friend when learning to play guitar. When you buy your first guitar you have joined the club with an automatic membership renewal as long as you continue to play. My goal is to keep you a part of that community by having fun and continuing to learn along the way.

Through free YouTube videos, we’re going to play first and put the why together as we go with fun and easy lessons that are digestible. I want you to enjoy playing and learning because if you’re having fun, you’re going to play more. We’re also going to build that community to encourage and help each other. So let’s get started!

Multiple pages of a guitar instructional book titled "Guitar Jumpstarter" by Dan Essaf, featuring diagrams of guitar anatomy, tuning, chords, and playing techniques, with one page showing a colorful electric guitar illustration.

He makes playing the guitar fun and his teaching method is easy to understand especially when you’re the proverbial ‘old dog’ trying to learn a new trick.

A room with musical instruments including two acoustic guitars, an electric guitar, a keyboard, and a microphone, with sunlight coming through the windows behind. There are books on the bookshelf and some electronic equipment on a small table.

Working with Dan has been a great experience. He is very knowledgeable, and professional and has a real plan for his students. Highly recommend. Thank you Dan!
