The Superstar Guitar Program is what I believe to be the essential building blocks and program to becoming a great guitarist regardless of
your music style preference!
The Daily SuperStar Guitar Journals…
Use these daily practice journals to keep you moving forward with your guitar studies.
I guarantee that you will excel quickest by daily regular focused practice. Therefore you must have a daily practice regiment in place (a journal) that you do 1st to quickly develop the knowledge and skills to turn you into a guitar superstar. Once you have completed your journal exercises you can then move on to whatever you feel like playing.
I recommend you work through all the journal levels starting at level 1 (even if you are an advanced player there may be some journal exercises that you are not aware of) Once you have totally mastered all the exercises within a level you can then move on to the next journal.
