“I got this book from the Kickstarter project and as a beginning player, I have learned more from this book than any other resources combined! Brett has taken all the truly important and most valuable aspects of learning the guitar and somehow condensed them into this book like some sort of focused beam of learning.”

About The Book

No Wimps! is organized into 21 Sessions. Each is carefully designed to give you exactly what you need, in exactly the right order. You’ll take as long as you like to master each Session - it’s the results that matter, not the time table.

Each Session is further organized into two areas: Physical and Mental. It’s this distinction, and the cumulative skill-building that results, that makes No Wimps! such a powerful and effective book. 
“This is really an incredible beginning guitar book. Brett not only supplies you with quite a bit of practice exercises, he also carefully takes the time to explain how to play something and also why you are playing it.”

Bill P.

  • The most useful chords for playing songs right away, and how to master them anywhere on the neck
  • Secrets of clean, crisp, and chunky Power Chords - a staple of Rock & Metal
  • Fundamentals of awesome soloing, like legato, alternate picking, bending, sequencing, and finger independence

Mental
  • How to understand, build, and use chords anywhere
