To Anyone Who Wants to Get Better on Guitar,
Hey, I’m Brett Papa. But you can call me Papastache, for obvious reasons. :-)
Look, if you ever imagined yourself playing kick-ass rock, awesomely gritty blues or head-turning shred ... but then struggled to make it happen for yourself, I want you to know just one thing:
You’re closer than you think to playing the way you’ve always dreamed. WAY closer!
I say that because even a skilled player like myself literally QUIT guitar — more than once!
I’ll admit it. I was a slow learner when I first started.
But I eventually discovered something that most of the thousands of other guitar teachers either don’t possess ... or can’t articulate ... or just plain miss. And I’m about to give it to you right here on this page.
Quickly advance you from being able to play only a couple scales to easily and fluidly ripping powerful rhythms and soaring solos — all over the neck.
Give you a step-by-step, practical approach that demystifies how to go from simply mechanically playing notes to creating and improvising MUSIC.
Discover how to take what you already know and begin playing with real FEELING.
Now THAT’S how you begin creating the same types of sounds on your guitar just like all the legends we dig so much — Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Eddie Van Halen, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page and so many others.
And it’s also how you learn to improvise so that you can develop your OWN creative sound. In other words, become the COMPLETE PLAYER.
Does it sound awesome? It SHOULD! Let me tell you, playing with such ease and control is even more fun than you can imagine.
However, it wasn’t always this way for me ...
I’ll be completely honest with you — Early on, I really struggled with guitar more than most.
I first got the guitar bug when my mom gave me a Michael Jackson record. I was 7 years old. I heard the solo in the middle of “Beat It” and I was like, “WOW, what is THAT??!!”
Then my brother (who was into Billy Idol at the time) told me that some guy named Eddie Van Halen was the one who played that solo.
So I listened to all the EVH I could, but believe it or not, it was five more years before I ever laid hands on my own guitar.
My first teacher was a long-haired dude named Pat who looked like he just stepped out of an ‘80s hair band, which was cool because I was into that stuff. He tried to teach me some Beatles and I wasn’t getting very far.
He finally asked me what I was into. I said Van Halen and Ozzie.
So he taught me “Iron Man” and dude, that’s when I was HOOKED!! Then it was onto “Crazy Train” and then he even showed me how to tap like EVH (which sent me over the edge!!)
I was a slow learner, but eventually learning those first couple songs was all it took for me to want to play for hours every day.
All my friends seemed to progress more quickly than me. Now part of that was because my favorite stuff just so happened to be the more difficult stuff to master, but I could still tell something was missing.
I actually got discouraged and quit playing for a while. I was still just a kid, you know how it goes. :-)
A couple years later, I decided to go back to my old teacher’s house. He had these stacks of amps at his house and some old VHS tapes lying around. One of them was a Paul Gilbert shred tape. I really got into it and began burying myself into more videos.
But what REALLY turned the corner from me was when I met a somewhat mysterious guitar guru named Mark. This was a buddy of mine I’d met when I was 18. And to this day, he’s probably STILL the best guitar player I’ve ever seen in my LIFE.
Seriously .... this guy is in the top 5 percent of guitar players in the entire WORLD, no question about it. Back in the day he played in bands and regularly won guitar competitions (this was back when those events were common).
He eventually moved to L.A. and never really “made it” in the traditional sense. But he remains the single most influential person I met about guitar, period.
Here’s what happened ....
When I saw how truly good this Mark guy was, I couldn’t stop thinking about getting better. I just HAD to get me some of that!
Problem was, he wouldn’t teach me. Not because he was a jerk or anything — he was actually a good friend of mine. It was just because he poured all his energy into playing and just wasn’t interested in doing something that took him away from his craft.
But I was OBSESSED. I wouldn’t give up. I really nagged and pleaded with him. My feeling was, “Dude, I’ll sweep your floors or whatever ....”
I mean, honestly, it was kinda pathetic, really. But he finally relented. And he let me hang out with him when he was playing alone. By this time, I was getting pretty good and he started showing me some of the “inner secrets” of the top players, guys I really loved.
And he wouldn’t just show me .... he would literally break licks down for me, move by move, and EXPLAIN them. He showed me a bunch of techniques this way that other teachers couldn’t even do.
(By the way, little did I know that learning this way would give me my own blueprint not only for revolutionizing my own play, but for being able to teach others these same secrets.)
Anyway, Mark encouraged me to start IMPROVISING. He taught me a few scales and told me to begin improvising over some backing tracks.
When you nudge yourself into this new territory, THAT’S when the magic happens.
I was so excited about this method of getting better, that I started teaching it to others. And it worked like crazy.
Now I don’t want to get all “zen” on you or anything, but getting better at guitar is NOT just about hitting the right notes. It’s about the EXPERIENCE. It’s about MINDSET. And I discovered that I had a real knack for demonstrating and transferring this crucial dynamic to others in a way that other teachers simply couldn’t.
Look, there’s hundreds of other teachers out there who can teach you how to play the essential chords, the important scales, all the other mechanical things you need to do to move guitar strings around.
But if you really want to get good enough to play something that sounds like actual music, that immediately gives your listener the shocking realization that “Dayum, this guy can really PLAY!”, then you have to be able to make that leap from wooden repetition bot to fluid song master who can rip like no one else’s business.
And that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you here. I’ve been doing this for countless other students for years, and what I keep hearing back from them is how much FUN they’re having. It’s like they’re just hanging out and having a good time.
(Maybe that’s because I’m known as something of a “character.” Oh well. :-)
I mean, seriously, why go through all that unnecessary pain to get better? Wouldn’t you rather bypass all that?!
But don’t worry, I ALSO give you those necessary fundamentals in case you haven’t learned them yet or need brushing up.
Because my approach seems to be resonating with so many others, I’ve just finished putting together an entirely DVD package that lets you take advantage of this radically effective dynamic.
Introducing ....
You don’t need to understand a lot coming in. Everything I teach in this program is based on just a couple scales I will teach you. (And if you already know them, so much the better.)
In other words, I show you how to take scale patterns you already know and apply them in a new way so that it doesn’t sound like the same thing you’ve heard a thousand times over. You’ll be playing special new notes and you’ll go, “Whoaaaa, WHAT WAS THAT?!”
Look, there’s nothing that Clapton and Gilmour are doing you can’t do also! I realize that might sound crazy. But here’s the thing: It’s HOW they use those notes that gives their playing that FEEL you want so bad. And believe me, you’re closer than you think! I’ll take you from a scale to feeling in no time at all.
I LOVE this DVD because rhythm guitar playing is one of the most under appreciated things in guitar today! Flashy, rippin’ runs are AWESOME (and trust me, you’ll learn those, too, in this course), but seriously, rhythm playing is one of the most important things in all of guitar playing. Think about it: you remember just about every great song for its rhythm playing, too. So let’s take your rhythm playing to the next level — and make it fun and exciting in the process.
Here’s where you become a complete player. What you’ll learn:
Bottom line: There is SO much you can do to spice up your play and have more fun. So let’s do that!
What’s in these DVDs? Simple: Everything that will make you a better rock guitar player! After showing you some perfect warm-up exercises (using both major and minor pentatonic scales as well as chromatics), I’ll show you hammer-ons and pull-offs, as well as how to chain scale ideas together.
You will also learn:
This is where you learn ALL things shred! I’m talking everything from bar dives, sweet picking, and hammer on and pull off runs ... to tapping, tremolo picking, harmonics, and fills we can use in our rhythm playing.
I’ll also give you all sorts of warmup exercises, too. And I’ll also show you how to chain scales together and make them melodic. Do you want to know how to add feel to your playing? I teach you just that on this DVD. Plus you’ll learn how to do all those things the shredders “back in the day” discovered to become the awesome players we love so much today. This is good for all levels. Let’s do this!
