The Ultimate 10-Week Guitar Course Midway through the first lesson there is a palpable sense of excitement in the room. A small group of guitar players, with different levels of experience and goals, is sharing an ‘a-ha’ moment… a sense that they’ve finally found the key they’ve been looking for. Strangely enough, while listening to this guy Nik Tongue and his ‘crazy’ ideas about how their memory, muscles, and the way they learnt so fast as children is the key to mastering their guitar. Ash Grunwald says: ‘I got a hell of a lot out of Nik’s classes. Particularly the merging of music theory and real-world guitar playing… I would recommend his class to any guitarist, pro or not.’ Go to www.visionaryguitar.com.au for videos, references, why and how the course was created and how it can work for you. Course starts next week on 21 April in Byron for 10 consecutive Tuesday nights, 6.30–9.30pm.
