Enter To Win A U.S. Fender Strat Here! Hi folks, …
Enter To Win A U.S. Fender Strat Here!
Hi folks,
We’re officially two weeks from the release of Lead Guitar Secrets! Things are starting to really heat up around here trying to get everything in place for July 20 (the release date). Anyway, we’ve finally nailed down the details on the contest.
I’ve decided to give away TWO Fender Highway One Strats. I’ve ordered both guitars today… and they’re SWEET!
Each guitar is an American made, Fender Highway One Stratocaster: Rosewood fretboard, wide seventies headstock, fat frets, alnico pickups, vintage-style bridge, satin finish & C-shaped maple neck. One is black, the other is red-wine (shown below).
Here are some pics:

WOW! Timing is everything. youe are such a great guy to give away something so beautiful to your customers. Well first let me say one thing foresure. Dan programs go far well and beyound teaching styles that currently exist today. He definity knows how to make it simple while using great examples. For years, I struggle in pulling answers off the web about the theory of guitar. Everything on the web just teaches licks and only focuseed on teaching tunes. No room for using your creativeness to create your own music style rather duplicating what’s out there. Dan gave all of the most important tools to becoming a musician not a guitar hacker player riffs and songs of other know musicians. Don’t get me wrong these tunes for other musicians are great it just we need programs more like Dan’s to pull out the unique muscian out of us so we can too make a hit tune someday–I think it’s all in us we just need to have right skilss set and Dan’s programs do this perfectly . I purchase the amazing secrets and use a least once week. I go back to finite my skils and know when I pick a guitar I play with not hone in on my creativeness but I have a full understanding and knowledge why and how it works. So thanks Danny boy you are God sent. Also, I’m looking forward to your amazing lead guitar secrets to again break the secret code all the greats know and understand which separate them from just hackers and now become musicians. If it’s anything like his other program I will be using several times to recodition myself to have full and wiser understand what I’m doing. It’s funny knowing stuff is not the answer it’s understanding how to use it which is required and Dan’s demostrated this effectively.
Oh yeah–the timing thing. My wife and I have two wonderful kids who enjoy Music. However while we were out celebrating our 15 year anversary. My daughter got a hold of my strat guitar and dropped it down the stars(15 to be exact). When we can home my guitar was togehter only beacsue of the strings holding it into place. Now it has a broken neck and due or current fincial sitaution( I just lost my job too)
we can’t afford to buy a new for quite a long time. So Dan this may really help me as I don’t have strat anymore and I love the ones you are offering. So my wife and I have our fingers crossed in hopes the good lord will help me on this one as I love to play very much and haven’t been able to–it kills me but I can’t be angry and my daughter she didn’t mean to do.
So I will be purchasing your next program but will have to bug my neigbour to use his guitar while he’s not gigging unless I win!

Hi my name is Ray I am from Kaiapoi which is in New Zealand I just love Music I started learning to play the guitar back in the 60s when I was in my teens and managed to get a few tunes and chords out but time just pasted on,Now retired I brought a fender squire but it had been played around with and the sound is just not there. Have been playing for about 12 mths now but must say if Lead Guitar Secrets had been around when I first started to play the guitar my wife would have handed me my fender everytime, Instead of grabbing her earplugs ,And now what a prize a new fender do I need to say more….

Dan, I spent two years in Memphis while in the USMC.It was the mid 1960’s and for a New Hampshire boy it was an eye opener.Those two years gave me a love that still runs thru my life.Blues and BBQ. I just turned 60 this year and started playing the guitar.The Amazing Guitar Secrets and Blues course have been just what I was looking for. Easy to follow,logical instructions with all the videos as personal lessons.I know that the new lead guitar course will be the same high quality and I am looking forward to the release.
Thanks..DJ

All,
At 47 years of age, I began my guitar learning venture about 2 years ago. I found an instructor began to learn guitar and about 3 months into the lessons and because of the work I do, I could not go to an instructor and he was not willing to be flexible with my schedule. (I understand, he has a living to make.) I knew then the only option was I had to learn guitar when my schedule allowed. As I began my search and started buying the computer based music courses you see in the stores, I realized very soon that these were not the courses that would help me achieve my goal. I then began to search the internet for courses. I learned what to look-out for and what to stay away from. As I began to read and bookmark the sites that appeared sound, I then had to narrow down to one course and that course was Amazing Guitar Secrets.
I read the promises, I read that I had to commit myself to practice, and studied the money-back guarantee. I had nothing to loose, and at best - I would learn to play the guitar. I placed my order, received the CDs and lessons and upon receipt, I began to view the first CD just to see what it was about.
“WOW”, I played through maybe the first 20 minutes of the videos and CD and got so excited that I got my guitar in my hand, started the CD over again and continued to practice, play, and replay until I felt I was ready for the next step!
What a way to learn, it was fun, it was challenging, but when you begin making music from what you learn you cannot stop from smiling and it just keeps you motivated to continue.
I knew then (if even by luck) I made the right decision on the right website and the right instructor. (When it all comes together, what can you say?)
I have always loved the blues. My goal has been to learn to play like Buddy Guy, Albert King, Johnny Copeland, BB King, Freddie King, Johnnie Winters, etc… The next notice I received was that Dan was coming out with a Blues course. Again, I said to myself, this was meant to work out as things began to fall into place. Having experienced Dan’s Amazing Secrets I knew I would not be disappointed. (I also knew I had a money back guarantee)
Again, I received my order and “BAM” this time with no wasted time, I had my guitar in my hand and began playing the videos and within a couple of weeks, I was kicking out licks and riffs and just kept smiling from ear to ear. Every lesson laid the foundation for the next level and every level gets me closer to my goal.
Now Dan is coming out with his Guitar Leads course, knowing his background and my experience with his courses, I have already asked to be put on list to be notified the minute he begins to offer his new course.
Everyone, my time is coming! I see it, I feel it, I can touch it, I believe it, I prepare for it, I practice for it, I have the right courses for it, I have the right instructor for it, I have all the right ingredients for it.

“Lead Guitar Secrets” is going to be the final-solution/answer for me - a guitarist who grew up focusing on ROCK and JAZZ while somehow discounting the blues (the root of our great American music forms). How? Dan and his buddy - Griff Hamlin, have professed to the world, via the super-highway that their methodical approach to Guitar teaching is a to-the-point instruction on finger-strengthening, chord-scale study, mandatory fingerboard technics and SOLOing that a true master-to-be Blues Guitarist needs to absorb and utilize in order to reach that silver-platter realm of gettin’ yo’ mojo on! As an experienced intermediate level guitarist, I have researched their claims and truly, truly believe them. Dan, I will participate in your web-mentoring – thank you for taking the time and effort to share your gift with us and for just being!

Hey Dan and the rest of the AGS community,
First off, I have to say how perfect this is… The very day that I got my Amazing Guitar Secrets course in the mail, it was announced that Lead Guitar Secrets was only 2 weeks away, and this contest is open… How could it get any better?
Well, to introduce myself, my name is Ben Blomberg. I got my first “guitar” when I was 3 or 4 years old. It was a little plastic toy, with nylon strings. I don’t think it even had six of them! My parents never thought that all these years later I would actually pick up the guitar and start playing seriously. Now, I’m almost 19 (my birthday’s in august), I’m a pre-med student in college, and I’ve been playing guitar for almost 2 years. I’ve gotten to be a decent rhythm player, but I’m definitely ready to really take my playing to the next level.
You know, one of the reasons I’m most excited about this lead course is simply because of who’s teaching it. I’ve done other online courses, I’ve taken private lessons, gotten books (even Guitar for Dummies…yeah…) , and never have I had a teacher as incredibly dedicated to his students’ success as you have been, Dan. I’ve been getting your emails for over a year now, and I have to say, I’ve gotten more guitar-playing “juice” from them than I could have ever dreamed of! Heck, I have your book on pentatonic scales to thank for whatever soloing abilities I have now! I’ve been going through the Amazing Guitar Secrets course for the past week now, and as in all of your other materials, your casual, clear teaching style gets the material across smooth as butter.
But if we want to get into the nuts and bolts of how this course is going to improve my playing… I can sum it up in one sentence. I want to be able the play the whole song, and I want to understand it! I don’t want to be stuck just learning the intros to song, or just the rhythm parts, I want to be able to learn it all, and I want to be able to understand why Jimmy Page used those scales for the Stairway solo, and how Allen Collins put together that epic solo from Free Bird… and maybe, just maybe (with tons of practice, I know) I’ll be able to start playing those solos, and start crafting my own, and the difference for me will be that with Lead Guitar Secrets, I’ll understand the why and the how of it, rather than just memorizing the tabs without thinking. And with that knowledge, I’ll be able to choose my notes and my scales wisely when I improvise over a chord progression or when I write music. Simply put, learning the theory and technique (the why and the how) of lead guitar through your course is going to take my playing and overall musicianship to levels that I have only dreamed of before now, and I’m totally committed to putting the time and practice into it that is necessary to get there.
Now, I’m going to be totally honest with you. My goal isn’t to become some kind of ultra-popular, touring rock star. I’ll be going to med school in a few years, and I’m committed to helping others as a doctor. But if there’s anything that bringing music into my life for these past two years has taught me, it’s that there are more ways to heal and to change people’s lives than using medicine and therapy, which brings me to why I really am so thrilled about this new course. Playing music has had a tremendous impact on my life; I sometimes consider it like my own personal therapy… With the help of this lead guitar course, I will have the tools to express myself more fully through music, to put more emotion and power into the music I make. And then I’ll be able to use my newfound levels of expression to share the profound effect that music has on me with other people… and to have that gorgeous wine-red Strat in my hands as I did it… that would simply be beyond my wildest dreams.
Many thanks and rock on,
Ben Blomberg

Hi All
What I wanted to say has already been said
So instead today here’s some words in my head
I’ve decided to write a little refrain
In the hope that it might possibly entertain
I’m forever trying and being at a loss
So I’m gonna be buying Dan’s new course because…
……………………….
It doesn’t seem that long ago
When I could barely play a note
I’d reached the tail-end of my tether
I couldn’t string two notes together
I heard about a man who can
A virtuoso by the name of Dan
His course provided all the gen
It made me want to play again
It’s not my intention to be mindlessly praising
But Dan’s Guitar Secrets is really Amazing
Providing the knowledge to help understand
What to play when, building strength in my hand
With progress so far what I now really need
Is top class tuition on how to play Lead
Hammer-ons, tapping and unison bends
You supply the means and I’ll make the ends
The countdown is on to when I start to fly
A new chapter starts on 20th of July
I’ll absorb every word on every last page
Front my own band and get up on stage
Wow the crowd with my wild histrionics
And scales, runs, and crisp pentatonics
Blow ‘em away with thunderous sonics
Topped with screaming artificial harmonics
Accurate speed on every string
I want to become the genuine thing
And not just another back-room pretender
So come on Dan, please send me the Fender!
Good luck to one and all, but with LGS, who really needs luck?
Cheers

Every aspiring musician’s dream is to master their prospective instrument in hope’s to be a virtuoso. In that quest for musical dominance of one’s instrument there is that insatiable thirst for acquiring the best instruction: One-on-one lessons, books on Theory and Technique, and instructional DVD’s showing a myriad of special skills and techniques that will make you a better (fill in your instrument)
As a student of guitar, perhaps the best instrument ever conceived of and manufactured, I, like many others, desire to master this versatile instrument. In so doing, I have investigated and purchased several “Learn ______ Guitar” DVD’s, purchased music books and I am currently taking guitar lessons. I believe there are many excellent study guides and DVD’s out there, but sifting through the morass of advertisements can itself become a full-time exploratory.
Yet, my research has brought me to several of Dan Denley’s teaching methods on DVD. Depending on the genre of music you are interested in learning, or if you are like me and want to learn everything about how to create any kind of music from your guitar, Dan Denely seems to cover all aspects of Guitar methods and styles, with emphasis on the foundational techniques leading to advance practice.
Now Dan is introducing Lead Guitar Secrets. After pursing through his example tutorials it is easy to see how his lessons on Lead Guitar Secrets can be very beneficial for any aspiring guitarist.
Dan has an unexpectedly accurate and precise ability to make the complex easy to understand. After downloading his “How To Solo With Pentatonic Scales” e-book, I was very pleased at the ease with which I was playing these scales up and down the neck. I figured that if I could pick this up just reading his e-book, I would excel with his tutelage on 6 DVD’s and a 200 page book packed with versatile methods and techniques for mastering the guitar fret board with the most advanced guitar leads.
The reason why I am excited about Lead Guitar Secrets, along with my guitar lessons, which are definitely helping me, is that Lead Guitar Secrets will propel me light years ahead of my expected time for mastering major and minor scales, the modes and the pentatonic and blues scales in ways only dreamed of by wanna-be guitar virtuosos, giving me the highly guarded secrets to make those scales sing, scream and soulfully move with ease to produce awe inspiring music.
So, the next question to answer is, “How will it improve my playing?” By providing me with the essential skills that are critical to master the following: solos, licks, speed and accuracy, finger and hand strength to reduce fatigue, judiciously choosing the right scales to perform solos over the right chord progression (understanding scale chord relationships), using the 7 modes of the major scales and how to apply them, which will expand my repertoire of musical styles so I can develop new solo possibilities of rich tones, and major-minor harmonies, and to utilize these skills to formulate my own unique riffs, solos and hot licks.
I’m looking forward to your new Lead Guitar Secrets DVD’s Dan.
Sincerely,
Dale Hogeland

Hey Dan,
IM not sure on What to write so im just saying what comes to mind. I hope your read this
Okay first things first my names andrew im a 14 year old who lives in small a town idaho me and my 2 of my friends are looking to start a band but we only have 1 guitar. Were not that wealthy and with football and looking to purchase your new course when it comes out and everything else weere involved in we cant afford to buy anything more then a crappy walmart giutar
:[
But anyways..
Im excited for when this course comes out because im really intesreseted into learning on how to play complex solos and actually know where the notes are in the scales rather then making up small licks and trying to shred when the notes dont even match the chrods being played anyways sorry f im bad at writing this and u probly wont pick me but im seroius about getting better in all aspects of the music i play and since me and my friend both share a giutar its difficult to learn. but thats really all i have to say i cant wait to buy it when it comes out :]

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.

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

“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!

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!

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.

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,

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!

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!

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!
