Effortless Fingerstyle Guitar
Your daily, efficient guitar workout
Your developement as a musician depends on the quality of your daily habits!
What is this course about?
Every day, I teach and work with talented students of all ages who usually share the same problems:
In other words, almost everybody struggles and works hard when playing the guitar.
Most people play the guitar against the nature of human body and don't have a plan and clear focus.
This was the main reason for me to create a system of teaching and practicing that I call "Effortless Guitar Technique".
IN THIS COURSE WE WILL DO A UNIQUE WORKOUT TOGETHER THAT WILL HELP YOU TO BUILD A STRONG, EFFORTLESS TECHNIQUE FOR FINGERSTYLE GUITAR.
What is effortless guitar technique?
It is a refined method that helps you to reach a state of ease and technical freedom with the instrument. It is based on:
1) Understanding and using the most efficient movement
2) Way of practicing
3) Cultivating the art of focus
Why should you listen to me?
My name is Viktor Fox and I am a professional guitar player and teacher. Apart from my studies at the famous Music University in Vienna I have traveled the world to learn from the best guitar players and the most fascinating musicians, for example 5-times Grammy Award winner Victor Wooten.
Through years of guiding students who struggled with playing the guitar I developed a system called "Effortless Guitar Technique". It is based on my own experience as a player and on information I gained from the literally best guitar players and teachers in the world.
Why shouldn't I just watch free YouTube lessons?
I realized that not everyone has the money and opportunity to study at a music university and take lessons with their favourite guitar players. My time is also precious and I can't teach everyone who wants to study with me. That's why I decided to share my knowledge online.
This course is designed as a short daily workout that will introduce you to "Effortless Guitar Technique" step by step. You will start with simple exercises and build your skills little by little every day. Many of the videos are designed as short practicing sessions: you will have an opportunity to practice with me and listen to my commentary simultaneously.
This course will completely change your way of playing, but only if you apply the exercises to your daily routine (10 - 15 minutes are sufficient).
This course is for people who are willing to commit. The secrets to mastery are regularity and effective habits.
This course is definitely not for occasional players who are looking for shortcuts (because there are no shortcuts! :)
