The Lead Guitar Secrets? Who wouldn’t be excited about it? I’m excited about it as it will help me to the next level! I played years ago, doing whatever my teacher suggested (extra practice, join a band, etc.), but always seemed to make small progress. Then, I joined the military and stopped playing (I’m still kicking myself!). I had hit ‘the wall’ back then and was fed up. Now, 20+ years later, I got interested in guitar again and decided to give it another go. I’ve a buddy who is a good guitarist and he has shown me some popular tunes to work on/play, but our work schedules clash as he has a ‘normal’ job and I’m a locomotive engineer for a Class 1 Railroad (always on call and work odd hrs). I came across Dan’s program on the internet and gave it a shot. I’m thrilled with it! A great price and I don’t have to go back to the beginning to get caught up. I’ve made some progress and am looking forward to another piece of Dan’s courses so I can ‘mix it up’, not ‘plateau’, and continue my growth as a guitarist. THANK YOU DAN!

Hi this is Khurram .. to be very honest as to why am i excited about Lead Guitar Secrets is that i’ve spent my last two years (or mayb more than that) with an acoustic guitar .. not being able to go to any teacher i tried goin over the net .. got really brilliant video clips to learn frm .. but that didn’t work for me .. my current stage is pretty much of an amateur i barely know ANY lead scale i possess no speed no accuracy and no melodic touch of professionalism.. i try to hit random notes … but they eventually make no sense and out of frustration i end up throwing my guitar away … i’ve had a dream to be an awesome lead guitarist .. but what my current stage is .. i barely think it’s going to happen ..
i enter my self to this competition not only to show my concern regarding the release of this instructional video … but also as an hope to win this wonderful guitar .. hoping probably i’ll be able to win it (if im THAT lucky) and then start practising my guitarist properly .. since i m unable to afford an electric guitar .. this is my ONLY hope to move ahead with my dream ..
I had to be honest .. so i did .. i hope GOD helps me through this ..:)
cheers ya’all!

I subscribed to your newsletter some months ago.. the preview and the ads were promising. I am actually subscribed – to be honest – to several other newsletters for guitar tips&tricks, methods, licks and so on, I get 5-10 mails per day. But above them all I find your mail, which I first notice and open. Some feedback first. The videos’ quality is good enough to show a clear image in a short time. You explain very accurate and it is approachable for both beginners and advanced players (I am somewhere in the middle, I’ve been playing for two years but I advanced most in the last 8 month. I am currently playing in a band and I aspire to become a great lead guitarist and soloist and to have our first concert as soon as possible. We will play thrash-death, and the solo hints I received were very useful and I improved my improvising and blues technique in a quite short time, just practicing 20-30 minutes per day.
On the whole, just the tips received by email are a good use. I would love to study your method on a Fender Stratocaster (any guitarist’s dream). If a two-minute video brought me a great satisfaction in a short time, I bet the method will just boost my skills and bounce off the “stuck in a rut” guitarists and break all the limits. Rock on!

I’m extremely excited about the Lead Guitar Secrets course because I’ll finally get to put the tools that you provide me with, together with some dedicated practise and hopefully start playing like some of my favourite guitarists ie. Santana, George Benson who utilise most of the tools you have listed in the course description.
Dan, you’re the best!!!

Awaiting eagerly,

Lead Guitar Secrets is almost out and I can’t wait, because I’ve been playing for several years now, and I’m tired of random doodling in the hopes of accidentally writing writing something I’ll actully want to remember. I’m tired of learning other peoples great songs and solos, it’s fun but I want something more, I want to write my own great solos, I want to learn how it’s done, because anyone can become a good guitarist and play other peoples music, but it’s the great guitarists who write the music other people want to play, I want to be one of those great guitarist.
I took classes when I first started and it helped, but at some point or another I thought I had learned all that I could from them, and I started looking around for my own resources - yup, the internet, I looked around and took some courses that claimed to have it all, I can’t say that they didn’t help at all, but the improvement was so minimal that I always ended up dissapointed and with a wallet that wasn’t exactly thanking me. And judging from all the other videos and lessons I’ve seen from Dan and Amazing Guitar Secrets, I honestly think that this is the answer, not some mediocre guitar instrucstion site after your money. I think the finger strength training will help alot because I want not just speed but accuracy as well. Cool solo licks are always fun to play, so with the 50 coming in the course I think I’m going to have a good time, and I’ll hopefully even be able to apply them to a solo I’m hoping to write. I want to be able to use scales and chords all over the fretboard, thats why the biggest part of this course that I’m looking foward to is the study of scale chord relationships, becuase I know next to no music theory, and knowing Dans style I know he’ll make it really easy to understand for those new to music(me). And the solo techniques in the course are gonna be great to jazz up any solo. I started guitar for a reason - I have a goal. And to answer the contest prompt of why I’m excited about Lead Guitar Secrets, I’m excited because about Lead Guitar Secrets becuase I have a goal, and this course is going to be a big step towards it.

Hello Players of the Guitar World!!
My name is David and IM jumping UP and DOWN in Anticipation of Dans new guitar course ” Lead Guitar Secrets “!!
IM so excited that my fingers are Tingling to the Bone because I can’t wait to sit down in front of his video and start learning the Secrets that Dans New Course has to offer.
You see, nothing is going to be quite so Sweet as being able to sit down and learn how to play my guitar like a professional. To be able to create my own solos and dance my fingers up and down the fretboard with the confidence and know how after having learned the fundamentals and techniques from Dans new guitar course.
I know Dans Lead Guitar Secrets is going to help me to become the guitar player that I want to be.
I know this because Dan is a great teacher and he loves to share his knowledge with others to help them become the Rocking guitar players that they want to become. The Solo Artist of the next decade or the Leader of a great band. Maybe even just a Legend in your own living room. But if it’s a guitar player that you want to become you have come to the right place.
His Lead Guitar Secrets has already gained the attention of other great teachers out there such as Tony Aja and Andrew Koblic who are also great Players and Teachers that offer up their talents as well. How wonderful it is to be able to gain the knowledge that these great people have to offer.
Ask me if IM excited? Do I think Dans Lead Guitar Secrets is going to help me?
Well, I have already learned a number of things from Dans new course because he has been good enough to share lessons from his new course with us all and he has asked that we share what he gave us with others and to ask them to join us. The mark of a true Leader and Teacher.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
My answer is YES! IM EXCITED!!!
I loved his lessons and I have already gained much from them and I can’t wait until “Lead Guitar Secrets” is out so I can get my copy and Mabe even Win a Beautiful American Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster. Man wouldnt that be great! TRULY AWSOME! Good luck to everyone.
I have been a subscriber of Dans newsletter for some time and I can tell you that if you truly want to learn how to play your guitar that there is no better teacher out there for you to learn from.
Thanks Dan!
From Dave the Fat Strat Cat,

Treatem like you want to be treated

“Lead Guitar Secrets” looks like a secret weapon. I guess it is the derrick that will destroy the wall that separates us from the stars (the ones in the sky, I mean). It will surely make my soul play for me. That’s what I hope! See ya, guys!

I’m not interested in becoming a famous or professional guitarist, I just want the self-satisfaction of knowing that I can truly play on a professional level. I went to a bluegrass workshop back in the spring. I was told that it was for all playing levels. Well, guess what? I was the only beginner there. I have been playing the guitar for 7 years, but I wasn’t even close to the level of the other workshop participants. I wasn’t able to fully get out of the workshop what I thought I should due to not having all the knowledge and training that I needed prior to the workshop. At the beginning, we had to do a solo so the instructor could see what level everyone was on. Well, everyone but me was able to do a solo up and down the neck of the guitar to very in-depth songs. I, on the other hand, played a song using one note at a time in the G chord. So extrememly simplistic that anyone there could have played it. The instructor did say I had good sound quality, but you could tell he was a little disappointed that I wasn’t on a higher playing level. I stuck with the 2 hour workshop, but I won’t go back to another one until I can play much better!

I have Dan’s Amazing Guitar Secrets Course and have found that it was just what I was looking for. It explains things exceptionally well, goes step-by-step, and builds onto each lesson. If Lead Guitar Secrets is anything like the other course (which I’m confident it is and more), then it’s well worth the investment! Before I came across Dan’s website, I searched all over the internet to find ways to better improve my guitar playing, but there was so much information that I didn’t know where to start and got discouraged. I knew what I wanted to learn on the guitar (playing the entire fretboard, scales, chords, improvisation, solos, etc.) but didn’t want to search all over the internet for bits and pieces of information. I wanted all the information in one easy-to-use book. Well, Dan has provided that! I was overjoyed when I came upon his website! Again, it’s worth the investment, and it’s everything a guitarist of any level needs to know and can use to become the best guitarist possible!

Thanks, Alissa Burnett

I am not going to write long paragraphs, poems and lies about how I love you and "Lead Guitar Secrets" as others did. I wanna play guitar. And I just want the red-wine Strat. Yeah, I know, when everybody cries and tries so hard to win one of those guitars, what I'm doing is quite risky if I want it. Yeah, I want it. What I want is not just a guitar, not just a Strat... I want that red-wine Strat! And not the black one!

Hey, the questions!

WHY (am I excited)?

Just because it's about guitar and music.

HOW (it will improve my playing)?

Not sure. I will try my best and the rest of it is yours.
