I would like to learn to plan my solos from start to finish and would really like step-by-step training to understand the theory of soloing.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:00 pm
1 . I would like to play solos and I think over here I will get a great opportunity to improve on this aspect of guitar playing.
2. This course will benefit me both ways. It will help me understand how a note should be played and on the other hand by listening to what it exactly sound like by playing a cd.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
1: I struggle with soloing. I know the pentatonic scales but dont know how to apply them
2: This course would provide me a step by step process to create solos
December 9th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
The answer is YES,yes,yes,pretty please with a sub-dominant on it!!!What else can I say!!!Dan you are the man
and with your course I can be one too.good luck to all.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
i have been layed off for almost a year , i dont have the extra money to buy the course, ive been trying to learn guitar for about 4 years, it seems you ve got the money but not the time, but right now ive got the time.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I would like to be able to play solos anywhere on the neck in any key.
You are a very good instructor and I think I could learn the material.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I am an intermediate player and can play all the standard bluegrass instrumentals. I have trouble making up interesting solo’s to bluegrass songs. I find this quite frustrating. I guess it is laziness not knowing all the scales on behalf.
Sincerely: John Major

Dan
I’m a mandolin player adding guitar to my quiver. I can answer both questions with one answer. I’m looking to get up to speed quickly, to have the skills to play with other musicians in jam situations, and to expand my understanding of fretboard music. I really appreciate the free stuff you send. You’re a clear, step-by-step instructor and the format works well for me.
I appreciate you considering me!

Dear Dan,
I have been doing alot of watching and I must agree I like the way you explain how to learn and play guitar for beginners.I live in Frankfurt, Germany and moey is pretty tight. Give me another 20 - 30 days and I should be OK to puchase your beginners course.Please send me the link agin with this new 2 chord solo. Sorry Iam taking so long,
sincerly,
Gary Poteet
December 9th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
I would like to win this course because I’m poor and I seem to be just noodling along and not making much progress. I think it would help my playing by giving me some direction and a structured course to follow. At least I would learn the course and learn if other courses would be worth investing in.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I am interested in your new course please. I hope the videos would be downloadable cauase at times I am busy with work and when I get time to practice the videos would be unaccesssible.
But I am still interested.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
I have played guitar for some time but mercer have felt comfortible creating my own leads. I would love to have the knowledge and then the ability to make this go from desire to actual.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Look, I’ve been a rhythm player all my life. I got my first Mac and proceeded to return to writing. It’s a major frustration that I can’t fully express my musical thought due to my limitations as it relates to playing any real lead proficiently. My hope is that this course would once and for all, help me over this hump and give me the ability to express more completely, my musical thoughts.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
To quote Emeril, I want to “take it up a notch”. I’m getting the chords, and it’s lots of fun, but I’m dying to figure out how to really solo.
Soloing would give my playing an extra “pow” and allow me to do more than just sing-along rhythm guitar. I’ve purchased enough of your courses to know this would be a great asset to my — or any serious student’s — abilities to make sweet music.
Peace,
Mike
December 9th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I would sincerely like to learn to play solos
I already own Acoustic Guitar Secrets and it is absolutely great. It improved my acoustic playing about 6 billion percent. I am really impressed with your course. It is obvious that you take great pains.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I’m finally retired and have some time to learn to play the guitar as it is supposed to be played. Help!!!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
I picked up the guitar about two years ago after several decades of not playing. I used to play rhythm guitar in a band in high school, but that was a long time ago and I never went beyond playing chords. I didn’t know any lead licks at all.
Now I’m trying to really learn the fretboard and play lead licks. I’ve made a lot of progress compared to where I was, but there is still a long way to go. To make things more difficult, I live in a rather remote area where taking a guitar lesson would involve driving 40 miles each way, so… I’ve bought several tutorial lessons and made a lot of progress with them.
I have other of Dan’s instructonal DVDs and have learned a lot. I’m sure this program would help me even more.
Thanks, Dan.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:18 pm
1. With this course I would like to learn how to master the fretboard.
2. I would like to be able to play different types of solos. Most of my solos sound the same
December 9th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course? I have been very impressed with the quality of the demo lessons that I have viewed. I believe the course would offer me more insight into playing better.
2. How do you think it would help your playing? I currently take classes but I don’t always get enough information from just one instructor. I believe Dan’s course will help fill in the gaps I am missing.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I would love to own this course because I have reached a plateau with my learning and would dearly love fill in the gaps so that I can continue to improve my playing abilities. Thank you for making this a possibility.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Dan, I’ve followed your courses for a couple years now, and I have yet to find someone who shares his guitar talent and instruction as freely and in such a down to earth manner as you. Sounds like I’m kissing up, I know (that’s what you’re asking for, right? :). Seriously, your personality and methods are excellent for me. That is one reason I would like to own a copy of this course. Another is that I’m a busy husband and father of 4. I’m not able to play as often as I would like, but my kids love to sing and dance while I play and that is how I captured my wife. I’ve never had anyone else to play with to push me and to learn from and even if I did, there’s not much time for that. I would love to have your course nearby so that I can run through some well designed drills whenever I have a moment. In this way, I believe I can raise my playing to a new level, adding more richness and variety to my music. I may never get an opportunity to wow a large, or even a small crowd, but at least I can bless my family with it and find more satisfaction in my music. That’s what’s most important, right? Thanks for the opportunity, Dan. My best to you and yours. Happy Holidays!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
I’m a disabled stay at home Dad with a 4 year old boy.I’ve started playing the guitar and could use the extra help that is availible to me.
Thanks,
Jim Deese
December 9th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
I’ve never played a solo, but I’d love to be able to. I need to move up from simple rhythm playing to lead guitar. I think this course would help me do that. Dan, you’re a great teacher and I’d appreciate the opportunity to learn this.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
1) I seem to be stuck in a loop and can’t see a way forward, hopefully this course will point the way.
2) I hope this course will help to accelerate my learning
December 9th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
1) Because your free course has helped me a lot. And I would also like to try this one, as all I really want to do in my life is to play guitar.
2)I can play scales but I also dreamed about myself on a stage play my own solos. I’m sure your course will help to make my dream come true .
December 9th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I’m stuck! I’ve been playing for 16 years and cannot break into the lead
patterns that I need to sound proficient while playing. It’s the same thing over and over again and man is it frustrating! I have tried other online (supposedly
simple) techniques to mastering lead guitar and each one has failed to improve my playing. I’m thinking Hey! Maybe it’s me and I don’t have the chops to cut it! I’m hoping maybe yours would be the one to turn it all around!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I would like to own a copy, because I’ve been playing for 30 years. I am really good at learning and playing chords. I have never been very good at putting leads together. I have watched tid-bits of your courses on your website and I have found all information you’ve given to help me immensely. I would love buy your course but financially I cannot. I know each lesson I’ve watched has made me a better all around guitarist. Thanks for the information.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:22 pm
I hope this corse would assist me in learning to put notes and chords together to develop a reconizable tune. Other persons want to hear me play a complete song.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Dan,
I’ve got your blues and lead courses as well as your acoustic course- I’d like to won this course because I like your teaching style and even though I know thee scales etc I still have problems with coming up with solos
that don’t all sound the same.
So please consider me for one of your course giveaways.
Thanks!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Well, I have two of your other courses and I know that this will help me progress. I am a new player and want to get a LOT better!! I know this will help!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Hi Dan. Iv,e to been playing for a few year now. I have never had the money for lessons so i am self tought. All your tips have been welcomed by me and i have bettered my playing no end. Owning a copy of this would be awsome, because all that you pass on to me i have taken on board.
It would help my playing even more. Thanks Dan for all you do for us guys. Merry Christmas . Mick
December 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
Man I hope I win the solo package I am so poor the only thing I have is my guitar so please let me win.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:24 pm
I am a 52 yr old, recently disabled(4way Heart bypass)just moved to the daytona area to retire and play a little music in the seaside places along A1A. my guitar collection was stolen,es335, 1961 hummingbird,les paul gold top. i still have my acoustic, would love a booster shot for my lead licks,i have found a niche playing lead and fills for other solo acoustic acts, i really could use the course, and would put it to good use!Thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
I can write you a song any time any way. But they take my guitar when I get up to play. A magic Simple Solo bends time and space. Mr. Denley please be frenly - get me to that special place!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:27 pm
Anything to help put together solos would be great, but a course like this would really help with improvisation and making them up on the spot.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Hey Dan,
The course will be a nice addition to the other course purchased from you. Also, Thanks for the daily/weekly freebies as they have helped improve my playing greatly
Merry Christmas to You and Your Family
Jazzn
December 9th, 2009 at 1:28 pm
Hey, Dan… I have purchased courses from you in the past, and have found them to be some of the best available (and, believe me, I’ve tried many). The problem is, I have hit a plateau in my playing, and want to get to the next level. I need some basic, step-by-step instruction in playing creative, fresh lead lines. In my stagnation, I’m afraid my playing has become “boxed” in and restricted, repetitive and unsatisfying. I know this course will shake out the cobwebs and help me turn the corner. Thank you, Dan, for helping make my “rock ‘n roll dreams” reality!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I teach high school kids guitar, I try to do it in a fun way where it will be something they retain and grow with rather than the standard 4 lessons and quit wich seems to hinder the music industry. A big hole in my knowledge is lead guitar to be honest I find it awkward.
Ive tried a heap of diff techniques to learn lead guitar and none of them capture my imagination at all. I would love to be able to shred up and down the neck with lead riffs to improve MY playing and assist in inspiring my young students who LoooOoVE such things.
Either way, keep doing what your doing Dan.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
I want to learn how to improvise on the spot.
I think it will help my playing because I’m just starting, and it would be good for me to learn how to solo as one of my main skills!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Hi Dan: I like to sing and play acoustic country/folk rock songs. I play a Martin D-16 through a Fender Acoustasonic amplifier and sometimes use a TC-Helicon vocal harmonizer. No band - just myself. Therefore, I need to learn to play good solos to fill out the songs, particularly in a style where I can keep the beat going.
Ellsworth Dickson
December 9th, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Dan you never have steered me wrong. I really look forward to the new course and furthering the basics you already have given us. Merry Christmas and a sucessful New Years,
December 9th, 2009 at 1:33 pm
I am hopeful that with you lesson(s) I can really learn to play the acoustic guitar. Like languages, I have tried to learn the guitar in the past and found it too difficult, even with private lessons. I hope that you will be able to teach me to play so that by New Year’s 2011, I can actually tell people that I can play the guitar when they ask or see it in my office.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I would like this course because even though I know scales I have trouble making good solos.
I needhelp turning scales into music
December 9th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Hi Dan i have been playing on and off for two years and started late at 54 years of age,i am battling to get to grips with the scales and application thereof,when i started i bought some off the shelf courses,but have struggled with them,i would be hugely gratefull to recieve one of these 3 courses,and at my age need all the help i can get.
best regards for the christmas season,

I haven’t purchased any courses because I have been sceptical of any such items. If this proves to be worthwile, it would have an influence on whether I purchase another course or not.
I have taught guitar to many people for free for years and am wanting to further my knowledge and playability. I play in our Church Worship Team on Sunday mornings and on the Youth Worship Team that I formed, with some of the kids I taught.
If this course is good and it helps me gain more confidence and playability, I would definitely be a spokesman and spread the greatness of this/these courses you offer to others.
Thank you…. <
December 9th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I give guitar lessons and use your incorporate your technics in my instruction. I’ve referred student to your site. If I won the set I would obviously use it to help my soloing over different types of chord patterns as well as encourage my students to buy the course because I am relocating and going to lose my students. This would be a great way for them to advance their playing when I’ve gone. I’m amazed at how I feel so bad for leaving them but I think the course would help them continue to challenge them and keep then getting through the inevitable ruts that are a part of learning.
By the way, thanks for you are doing to help guitar players continue on the quest for knowlege!
Thanks, Jim Knudsen
December 9th, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Hey Dan!
I have bought your Lead Guitar course and its simply awesome! I would like some more awesomeness and thats why I am desperate to win this lead guitar course and hope to play leads like you someday (with enough practice and your guidance ofcourse)!!!!
Thanks!
Vivek
December 9th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I’d like to see how you go about creating the leads you hear all the time in songs. Your instructions are easy to follow. Your examples show how to achieve great sounds by following a few simple steps.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Well this is nice! Hopefully I will be lucky this time!
To answers to your two questions: (1) I find myself stuck in the same old pentatonic box. I’ve studied and tried many tutorials, lessons, etc. on the web but I still get stuck in the habit. It’s quite frustrating but still I am trying to go on… some day it will come to me, maybe with your course. (2) You mention ‘Tried other “how-to-play” courses and failed.’ in the description. This sentence gets me curious. Is it true? If it is… it would make my life (and others) easier! And more fun playing!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
I´ve been playing for 3 years (I´m 44) rythm guitar with some friends in a band, and it´s time for me to alternate solos with the lead guitarist that not always goes to the rehearsals. We invited a keyboard player to ‘fill’ the rythm as I do the solos.
This will help me to learn soloing technique so I can cover soloing as well as rythm.
Thanks in advanced
December 9th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
1. Well, I read all the sad testimonials so I feel I can’t compete there. So I’ll just say I’ve bought several of your courses and they have been a tremendous help to me. At age 73, I need all the help I can get! And Dan, I’ve tried and tried with no success to get something free from you
2. As I said, I’m 73 and because of that I do need a more direct, simplistic and quick method for learning. This approach does sound as if it may provide all I need.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Iwould like to own a copy in hopes I could finally figure out how to solo. I’m sure it would give me the tools I need to get it done.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
It sounds like it would be esy and fun. I would be a better guitAR PLAYER.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I am 59 years old and music has been my only passion outside of working for a living. I played in bands over the years as a rythum guitar player but never mastered fine lead playing. I would love to accomplish that now. I just need a little help. This course seems like just the ticket. I’ve been following your freebies for a while and already have picked up some fine tips. It would enable me to round out my playing skills.
Thanks Dan!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I’ve purchased more courses than I can ever use. None have given me any magic bullets for soloing. I’m always the bridesmaid, if you know what I mean…eveyone’s favorite rhythm guy.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
It sounds like it would be EASy and fun. I would be a better guitAR PLAYER.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Hey Dan, Just stuck in a rutt musically and financially.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
As a loyalized customer of yours… I can only say thanks!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
1. I know some scales, and I try to solo over songs I like, but it just doesn’t sound like the lead guitarist.
2. I hope it will help me know the “why” of soloing rather than just remembering tab.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
1. I want my solo’s not to sound like scales!!!!!!
2. I think that it will help me with my phrasing. I HOPE!!!!
P.S. I own two ot your courses and I love your teaching style!!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I would love to win this,as I’m just learning to play,and besides I have never won anything,so that would be nice.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I have ordered the blues DVD’s from you. I truly love them. I can understand your explanations very easily. I would love to be able to construct solo original songs to play for my family and friends.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
I need information on how to put solos together on the fly, such as in a jam session. Most mystifying to me are bends. I can do them, but knowing exactly which notes I should be bending at what times eludes me.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:44 pm
1) I’d like to own a copy of this course because I need to step up my self-paced learning method and I think yours is the most practical.
2) I know the type of student I am; requiring a one-on-one approach. Your course comes across as such. I’d like to own it.
May you and yours have a joyous Christmas and a very prosperous new year!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Why? Well, who wouldn’t want to be better at soloing (and it wouldn’t take much to make me better).
What could it do for me? - Expanding my limited repertoire, inspiring me to play better (and more often).
December 9th, 2009 at 1:45 pm
I’d like to win this course, but I must stay focused on earning an income!
I like your style, Dan.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Hey I would like to own the course because I am a so so guitar player and I think this course could refine and give me better skills.
Hopefully this course will help me understand some of the basics and some more advance techniques.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
A) I would you like this course because the other course I have from you is done in a manner that works for me, and this idea of “keeping it simple” makes a lot of sense.
B) It would help my playing because keeping things simple with basic riffs and chords that go together, would be “creative”.. not sounding like a bunch of scales being played fast.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
1.
I am a bass player, but I have been playing guitar to help with my bands acoustic sets, so I bought the Amazing Guitar Secrets course and it has tied up so many of the loose ends from years of playing the wrong way, that I bought the Blues Guitar Secrets course and that has improved my playing so much that now I switch guitar and bass with my lead guitarist on a regular basis. So I believe that the Creating Simple Solos will also improve my guitar soloing, and I will be able to play lead guitar with even more confidence and will make me a batter more skillful band leader.
2.
By improving my ability to play lead guitar it will make me a skillful band leader and composer
December 9th, 2009 at 1:48 pm
I still haven’t found the right training DVD to fully comprehend playing lead guitar. Dan you put out some great products throughout the years, maybe this is the one. Beat to all out there
December 9th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Hey Dan,
Pretty kool stuff ya got goin on there, would love to have the course for sure, unfortunately, we are on fixed budget and just don’t have the extra right now, so hey, sure, I hope I win.
Thanks
Tim
December 9th, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Hello Dan;
Your new course seems very interesting.
I’m a beginning to intermeditate player.
Everything I play seems so mechanical, I could really use lessons like these to open up my playing and be able to improvise on the fly.
Thanks for all the help that you have already given us all!
Ed
December 9th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
1-Because, as we have seen and heard on the net, he’s very good.
2-With all the examples I could follow.
For example I get. Just not yet have the course, because I have no money for comprar.Mas I think I’ll win!
Thank you,Dan Denley
December 9th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
Being brutally honest-I would like to own it because it is free-
I love soloing on guitar and I find improvement is happening, but at a pace I wish could quicken- The lessons, tricks, and guidance, in this arena of guitar is sure to bolster my soloing in speed, accuracy, and understanding!!-And have a great Holiday season-John
December 9th, 2009 at 1:51 pm

December 9th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I would like this course free because I am currently living under a bridge and generating power by inducing my pet hamster to run his power generating wheel with tiny shots of Red Bull.
I am SO close! Stumbling around for years and I have now learned so much from your freebies. I am starting to really “get it” and this course would allow me to impress my friends and neighbours and get that gig playing the Brentwood Corn Fest. OH PLEASE really. I need it. I so want to improve my playing!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
1-Because, as we have seen and heard on the net, he’s very good.

December 9th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
Could be useful for teaching my students to improvise.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
It is deceiving to say intermediate player. I am a beginner to some and advanced to others.
I want to be able to move up the fretboard and have things explained to me in language that I can understand.
Instructors forget that some of have only a couple of years from absolute beginner.
I guess time will tell if this is the solution to moving up in my skills.
thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
I am always looking for a good course on soloing. Your approach is always basic and to the point. I am hoping to improve my understanding of what soloing is and how I can improvise and explore new ideas.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Hi, I would love to win this as all my gear and software I had was lost in a fire. I have a new guitar and been playing about a year. Self taught and with your help from your site. Please consider me for this prize. I have never won anything in my life so maybe this will be the start of positive aura’s.
Thanks Jack
December 9th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Hi Dan,
I am 63 years old, and am disabled, and home bound.
I don’t have very much money coming in, so I would love to win this.
Thank you,
Pete
December 9th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Hi Dan,
I am tired of trying to create solos and improvise. It seems like it never works out. Your free videos have helped me a lot! When I started playing I never took the time to learn anything important and started reading tabs to the songs that I like. But then when I try to make my own it is a horrible failure and discourages me from trying to write more.
I think your course would be an amazing asset to own.
Thanks,
Matt
December 9th, 2009 at 1:54 pm

as simple as that

I’m like the fella with no time or money. Its rough getting the money at xmas but the time I have a little more control of. I used to paly thirty years ago and still have my P-Base from 1970. My neighbor got forclosed, moved out and left me his Strat and the “FIRE” started over again. I could only play bass before this is like a new adventure!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Dan,,
Firstly, Thank you for all the help you have given me thus far in the emails you sen out. I’m sure many look for them to come daily because of the tidbits that add to what we already have. I am a seasoned 66 year old performer. I am a sharing person myself and always try to give others a leg up much as you do. This course will help me to do that and give me more to draw from in the lessons I give. I always get something good and meaningful from watching your videos and can use all the help I can get. Thank you for giving this out even if I may not be one of those lucky enough to win it for free.. I’m hoping but the luck of the draw and time will tell. Thanks again.

Dan, I would like to have your course because you are practical instructor that teaches things that can be applicable to real life, congrats. Besides I need to step up to the next level in soloing mostly the blues.
2.- This course would defintely help improve my understanding of music theory and improvising skills…please help me.
Regards.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:57 pm
I know the scales. I belive this course will show me how to use them.
Thanks Don D.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
I’m learning a lot through your videos, I’ve felt a lot of improvement in my playing abilities, all thanks to your videos, and a lot of practice, I mainly play worship music, and feel that one other way to Glorify GOD is to be excellent in what we do for Him, that’s why I feel the need to learn not only to play solos, but to create solo, Thanks.
December 9th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I feel this course would help me learn how to choose the right scales which is a mystery right now. But I’m still working on the LEAD GUITAR BASICS and keep thinking I will catch on.
I feel it would help me to know how to get started by clearing up the mystery of the pentatonic scales connecting patterns. I am learning them, but don’t know how to use them.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
because i want my solos to sound like solos and not scales
I am always getting stuck in the box and feel this may be what i need and since im on disability i cant really afford but would really use it to its full potential
Thanks God Bless Robert
December 9th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
hi dan-
i’d like to win a copy of your course because i need an easy way to learn how to solo & apparently this is it! the bits and pieces that you give away via email are great and easy to follow, and i think your course would be perfect…
thanks!

December 9th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I have purchases one of Dan’s courses prior to now and found it very helpful. I am sure that the course would be quite helpful and I would gain a lot with regards to having it.
Thanks for sharing your time and talent

HELP DAN… :0
I’m an aspiring and frustrated blues player, who wants to fufill my potential and become the very best player I can be. Dan, although I’ve taken lessons and purchased online courses, experiencing marginal development, after watching your other instructional videos, I passionately believe that for the very first time I will experience new found growth as a player…YIPEE!
Dan, I have the utmost confidence in your unique ability in three extraordinary areas…1.) your unparrelled knowledge in music theory…2.) your outstanding communication skills and 3.) your sincere interpersonal presence, combined, equip and empower you to create a dynamic and immediate impact on exploding my guitar playing ability to the next level.
Dan, either way, I’ll be purchasing several of your courses in near future.
Thank you and the best of luck to you, my friend.

Hey Dan Isn’t amazing the response you get when you mention the word FREE. I could only be so lucky!
December 9th, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Hey Dan, what a wonderful offer!!!
I have been “trying to play” guitar of over 33 years, but I am determined that one day I will succeed. I have had to work or everything I get out of it, no inborn talent here.
I have never won anything in my life. Sounds like a real pessimist doesn’t it? However, I have 100% faith in your course, I know for a fact I would benifit greatly from it. The offer to win something is an exceptional idea, so this might just be the turn around in my life I am looking for.
1)To actually win something.
2)To win something that will actually guarantee me to accomplish my 33 year goal of hard work, to finally master the guitar.
3)I’m in on your incredible offer.
Lets hope this brings about the 2 changes in my life I need “at this time”.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Hi Dan,
I’d love to play to the jam tracks included on your CD….I bet they would be real helpful to play solos… Your CDs are awesome. Thanks……

December 9th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I’ve been useing your Amazing Guitar Secreats for a few years which has given me quite a good understanding of music theory. But I still have problems with solos so this course I know would help me very much.
Thanks Dan
December 9th, 2009 at 2:05 pm
hi Dan, I have been receiving your emails and would like to win a copy of your course because as you know times are tough and I just can’t afford it right now. Thanks rick
December 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I’d like to add the DVD and knowledge from it to my Dan Denely collection and the music I play daily. Thanks for the oppurtunity. Don straitwell
December 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Hey Dan, I really like this idea! I could surely use this course. I’ve been playing for years, but I can always learn something from your courses. I can always learn some new licks, and especially 3 licks lead. I wll put this course to good use. Thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
also just the things you have sent via e mail have helped so I’m sure the full course would be awesome
December 9th, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Hello Dan,
I have always played rhythm guitar, and never thought I could play lead. It would be a cosmic event to change this perspective.
Lucius
December 9th, 2009 at 2:07 pm

Hallo,
Ja ik kan hier wel in mijn houtje touwtje engels uitleggen dat ik graag de gratis cursus wil ontvangen, maar er zal best een vertaalsite zijn die het taalprobleem je oplost. Tenslotte is muziek universeel!
Ok, dan toch even een korte uitleg. Regelmatig bekijk ik de gratis tips en pik hier en daar wat op. Het is alleen niet net genoeg om ook anderen een plezier te doen met mijn gitaarspel. Daarvoor heb ik echt betere lessen nodig en jouw uitleg doet echt wonderen.
Met andere woorden: be my best teacher ever!
Met vriendelijke groet, zanzi
December 9th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
To elevate my level of playing from the point you have lifted me with your course “How to Play Lead.”
I have had a variety of teachers and bought an assortment of courses and then I discovered Dan Denley, purely by accident, then it all started happening, a revelation, a coming together of fundamental principles and sequential information when integrated started to make perfect sense to me. At last I was born again.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Hi.
My grandson who is 16 is a great player but I think if I had this course I could teach him to play leads which is what he would really like to do.
Thanks.

Hi Dan
I am like many a learner, I play with a colleague who also writes sings. Together we will get up and play when opportunities arise. As we are both school teachers that means on the school stage in front of the school and or community. My colleague is far more accomplished than I and I struggle to keep up with him. However my hobby is building instruments (mainly electric guitars) and this year I have built a coffin shaped stand up double bass for him. He loves it and would love to play it when we perform. However that would mean I have to move into playing some lead and not just rhythm! I seriously need a method of doing that.
Dan I am very impressed with our easy teaching methods that provide material to support the learning. I get it.
I would much appreciate a copy of this course to develop my skills. Thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
1. There’s a lot of guitar stuff online, but I feel like Dan is sincere and really wants me to learn as much about guitar as I can. He gives away a lot of stuff, but his courses are worth paying for because they are clear, concise and easy to follow. I have 3 kids and own a business so my time is very valuable. I would like to have this course because I’m playing with a band and need to get past my solo’s all sounding the same without quitting my job and abandoning my kids.
2. I bought one of Dan’s blues guitar books and it has really helped me with rhythm and chords, but when I’m called upon to play solo’s, they’re a bit dull. I’m looking for something to spice up my playing and your “Creating Simple Solos” series sounds like it might do just that.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:11 pm
1. This course will be available 7-24 by playing the DVDs and CDs based on my schedule.
2. This course will take me beyond just strumming the guitar to making music.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
It would lift my guitar playing happiness to further unknown highs, and make me smile through days of rain og thunder storms.
Dan is the man who makes the playing at higher levels possible by his nice way to teach, to reach, to show, to make awaiable, a calm nice guy every mother in law would wish to have as her own. Dan is the guitar man who can teach you, if you let him. Do by dooing, grow by knowing, learn by showing.

Hey Dan,
How many women have bought your course, I have, I need step by step instructions on how to play lead guitar and what mode to choose. Help.
Denise
December 9th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Hello Dan,
1. & 2.) I began playing guitar in 1982 at the age of 17. My goal was to be the next EVH. I learned the basics on my own with various books, tablature, ect. I eventually took a few lessons with instructors but lost interest because of what it was costing me at the time vs what I was learning/retaining. I figured why pay a ton of money on instructors for just a half an hour per lesson when I could learn just as much by using the teaching aids I had already purchased and save myself a ton of money. Needless to say I have stuck with playing the guitar all these years and I have progressed but only little by little. That is until I started buying your courses Dan! Your instruction and technique has helped my playing improve tremendously. I am now turning to songwriting and I believe your “Creating Simple Solos” course will help me greatly develop my understanding of how to create solos for my demos and give me the professional sounding edge I need to get them noticed. I also believe the information in this course will help give me the confidence in my playing I need finally get up and do open mic or hopefully even finally start a band on the side at the age of 45. Even if I do not win one of the free copies, I will be buying a copy of “Creating Simple Solos” for sure! God Bless and keep up the good work!
December 9th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
1. I think this course could help me to finally put my limited knowledge of scales together & consolidate them into melodic meaningful solos rather than rote pentatonic patterns and in so doing helping my bandmates and myself stand out from the pack.
2. The other instructional courses out there just get me bogged down with repetitious patterns - yours is more personally creative & melodic.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
Dan: First of all I am primarily a Gospel song writer and recorder and have played keyboards for forty years or more. I have been a chorale conductor and have directed a 100 voice choir for 14 years and suppose that since both my mother and father were “country music stars” on two different television shows in the late 50’s, I just got my “ear for improvisational music” through them.
Very recently my father died and one of the most cherished things that he left me was a VERY beautiful, expensive, old and ornate guitar with an incredible sound that he used to play on TV. I was so excited to have this wonderful instrument but of course have never tried to learn to play guitar. Now it is my primary goal!
I love working for God in our church and traveling to other churches to worship him in music, song and ministry, but since I am now 56 years old I love the idea of just being able to sit with a guitar and sing personal worship songs to Him. I would love to have your course and promise to use it to the Glory of God the Father and for the furtherance of the Gospel of Christ and for His kingdom.
I pray that you are moved and that God speaks to you about my sincere desire to lean to play the guitar that my dad left to me a few weeks ago. You can see by visiting my website above that I am an ordained minister and worker for Messiah.

I believe this course could open the door to another level of playing by providing a means for me to achieve what has been so elusive, soloing. I have played by ear for several years and have never taken formal lessons. Cords and rhythm have not been a problem for me but solos have been my conundrum. Owning this course can change that for me.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
One thing I’ve noticed about Dan’s playing is that it is melodic - that is way more important to me than “shredding” or speed. I hear melodies in my head, but I often have trouble getting them out to the guitar. From what I’ve seen, this course could go a long way in helping me accomplish that goal.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:18 pm
This course would be a nice addition to the Lead Guitar Secrets course and would help fill out the guitar riffs I already play by adding some depth. I’m always looking to expand my playing knowledge.
Thanks, Jay
December 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
1. I know some scales, and I try to solo over songs I like, but it just doesn’t sound like the lead guitarist.
2. I hope it will help me know the “why” of soloing rather than just remembering tab.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I wish to learn more than the basic knowledge I now have, playing guitar. I am a disabled American Veteran and I have taken up playing guitar at the suggestion of my doctor for my arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am seeking any assistance I can find in this endeavor. I greatly enjoy even the partial lessons I have received from this site.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I have used some of your sample videos and they rock. I think this course would help me especially since I am teaching myself how to play guitar. I’m sure there are techniques explained in this course that I cannot necessarily figure out on my own.
Thank you.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I am 60 Yrs. old and recently started playing again after a 30 or so year hiatus. My Dr. said it would help slow the artharitis in my hands. Since I live on disability I can’t afford to take lessons so get by with what some of you offer on the net. Your course sounds like it would really help me as I am trying to learn finger picking and flat picking styles to be able to do more than just strumming chords.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
i need this to help me understand more about soloing
December 9th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Hi Dan,
1)I would like to own a copy of your course because I think your teaching technique is easy to follow. I am 55 yrs young and have played the guitar since I was 13. I have played in a band a time or two but most of my playing is and was rythm guitar. I want to develope the lead guitar end of things for myself since it is something I have always wanted to do.
2)I think it would help my playing tremdously in the fact it will give me something to follow as I develope lead guitar techiques.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
Do you mean to tell me that there is a program that will help me actually play solos? Your other courses have made it possible for me to advance my guitar playing to a point where I actually sound reasonably good.
Yet, I have practiced the patterns up and down the neck, knowing that it aids in my playing, but, like many of the principles I learned in high school Geometry class, I lack awareness of how they are applied in practice. Step aside Geometry, we now have a course that will solve the secrets of playing solos on the guitar.
Thanks,
Les
December 9th, 2009 at 2:24 pm
Dan,
In answer to #1, I’ve searched on-line courses and tried many, only to find that your approach is best suited for me and I would imagine, any beginner and on. Too many others seem to be rushing to get me playing and I feel like you are encouraging me to learn to play. At 55, I’ve been somewhat jealous of a younger brother that could pick up any instrument and play it. This has been going on since I was 21 or so. I just never took the time until I purchased a strat in Sept (09) and am determined to play it. No one but you and my wife know that I’m doing this. I want to surprise my brother when I know some more. In answer to #2, I think you are an excellent resource as an instructor and very talented musician. The combination makes learning (however repetitive at this point, for me as a beginner) a great pleasure and I’m convinced I will accomplish #1 while building a solid foundation for future skill. Thx for offering your email clips and the chance to win this course! cw
December 9th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Dan -
Why would I like to own this cours?
I have been a customer of yours for several years now. I own 3 of your courses and have learned a lot from them. I am always looking forward to new projects that you are working on. I have tried lots of different courses in the past, but non have compared to anything I have purchased from you. You explain things very well.
How would this new course help my playing?
The same way your other courses have helped me. Soloing well is my weakest attribute. I am hoping that these new lessons will help me improve.
Thanks for all the things you have taught me up to this point. It is always exciting when you put out new materials.
Sincerely Nick
December 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I would like to own a copy of this course so I can jump into any jam session and be able to play spontaneously without having to know a specific song.
This course would help my playing by teaching me different solos that can be learned throughout the fretboard (and thus, in different roots).
December 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
Hi Dan;
Just got your e-mail, on the new course, it sounds super, I TRULY WISH YOU WELL WITH IT, NOW AS FOR THE GIVE-A-WAY-As you know I am elderly (77) and to be truthful, never been to lucky, with drawings or giveaways lol,so, please don’t enter me in it, I don’t want to take the possible chance away from some younger person,who would get some benefit from it. Thank you Dan, and as always BEST OF LUCK WITH NEW PROGRAM,— Bob Gray from Midcoast Maine
December 9th, 2009 at 2:29 pm
I want to own this course because I want to become a great guitar player!!
I think this course would help my playing by: Learning to create red-hot leads by combing simple licks
By getting an introduction to playing lead guitar
By learning how to play leads over backing tracks
By discovering how to choose the right scale every time
By learning how to plan my solo from start to finis
I want to play lead but don’t know how to get started.
I am confused by scales and music theory mumbo-jumbo.
I am frustrated by lack of step-by-step training.
I tried other “how-to-play” courses and failed.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Happy Holidays! Most definite this product will show me the right moves to get ahead with the scales to play lead. I’m disabled and live on a fix income that dose not permit me to buy what i really want so this would really be a blessing.Thanks Dan,You Rock!
December 9th, 2009 at 2:32 pm
Dan, I need to be taken to the woodshed and learn soloing right this time. I have played for over 40 years, some of them semi-pro, and my leads always sounded OK…even very good but I never “knew” why and that always limited me and my music. I know scales, chords, timing, and can feel what a solo needs to be. So you say you can teach me the “why” and the “how”? Let’s go!
December 9th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
I own several of Dan’s programs and would Love to add this on to it. His style of teaching is far better than anything else I have seen on the market. I think this course wold be a great addition to the other ones I have.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:33 pm
Dan,
I am 53 years old and started playing about 3 years ago.
I can play a few simple songs and scales but have trouble trying to solo. I think your course can help me in my journey to learn as much about guitar as I can.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
1. I have found your method of teaching to be very good and would like the course as I know it will move me up the skills I am working on for Blues Lead.
2. I have gone through several courses and know the pentatonic, blues minor, blues major, etc. and can play tunes following tab. But, I keep getting to the point of saying to myself that this is not the end game. I would like to be able to write solo’s and play my own music and I think this course would provide the links I seem to be missing. It’s frustrating to copy other’s music and know that I’m just missing a few months of proper instruction to be able to play my own!
Thanks for the opportunity Dan!
December 9th, 2009 at 2:36 pm
1. I have been watching your videos on line and they have really helped
2. Benn stuck figuring out leads, this course would help me improve my playing
December 9th, 2009 at 2:37 pm
I would like to own this course because you are giving it away for free and that would be brilliant!
Hopefully it would help me to create solo’s.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I am tired of feeling a jam, but when I try to put that feeling into a solo i fall flat on my face and I embarassed. I grasp the basic concepts of guitar, I need the tools to get to the next level.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:38 pm
I know, that at my age it would be doubtful that I would be a rock star, or a great guitarist. However, I am good at teaching,( modesty apart ) and I do enjoy teaching the guitar to my grandsons. It is with that hope and outlook that I have purchased your courses and as I progressed, so have they. My goal is to get more children involved in learning. That is why I enjoy learning from your courses. they actually work. Thanks.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
Hi Dan
I have purchased 3 of your courses now and have found them to be very useful in my study of guitar. I love playing and practice for hours. I understand some theory, however, in spite of hours of practice and noodling, I have not been able to put it all together to create lead solos and to take a break when playing with others. I’m missing something and really want to find it!! I think your course will be the tool I need to move forward with this. As much as I want to purchase it I just can’t afford it.
Dan, your other courses are very well structured with each lesson building on the next so I presume this course follows the same model. Therefore I think that this one will do what I want it to do. I know there is a secret to creating solos and I am confident that you will reveal it to me in this course. Thanks Dan
Catherine
December 9th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
1. I need to learn to play solos,instead of rhythm guitar all the time.
2. I need to learn play phrases of music ,not just scales.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
i started playing guitar when i was 9 yrs old. i am now 58 and i am a self taught guitarist. to me any information that will better my playing is of great importance. i have seen many web pages that i woud’nt give the time of day but, yours got my attention very quickly and in a positive manner. i believe your course would be challenging to me and upgrade me in something that has been my love all these years.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
1 I have been on the fence about this corse for a while now.I have bought others like it and didn’t care for them. I thought this offer would help me decide if your corse was for me or not.
2 my solos suck and I would like the help to make me a better player thanks for this opertunity Tony
December 9th, 2009 at 2:42 pm
Hi Dan. I’m a 54 year old living in the UK. Five years ago I was told I had throat cancer and subsequently had my Larynx removed. As a result, I am no longer able to work. As you can imagine, money is very scarce. I always check out your videos in my emails and would love to win your course.
I am leaning towards playing lead guitar nowadays (because I can’t sing anymore - no voice)but the thought of playing a solo terrifies me as I don’t know where to start. I can play the pentatonic scales but don’t know how to make scales sound like decent solos.
I think the course will benefit me no end and give me back my enthusiasm for playing the guitar again. Thanx
December 9th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I want to make 2010 the year I take my playing to the next level. I have benn playing for about 3 years mostly self taught. I have your guitar guru method and its done awesome things to my techique and playing. I believe your soling course would enable me to continue making those advancements. It would truly make playing guitar that much more enjoyable.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
what can I say?
any of your stuff that I have purchased has been superb
and I am confident this new course will be outstanding
December 9th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Well Dan
I’ve really gotten a lot out previous courses. The bottom line-I just want to get better
Dave
December 9th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
Q. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
A. Because having this information available at my fingertips makes practising a whole lot easier.
Q. How do you think it would help your playing?
A. Because it will build my understanding and help me with the things I’m struggling to learn on my own.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Try as I might solos have eluded for years. I’ve worked on scales, but everything I play comes out the same. Help.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
I am at that stage in my playing where I can play the pentatonic scale in all positions with a few colour tones thrown in and am starting to learn to transpose solos so they suit the song I am playing. I still have to learn how to create my own solos and I believe this course will help me to do that. Keep up the great work.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Question 1: Maybe/ no I’m almost shure it could take my guitar’playing a step further.
Question 2: As I have The Blues course I & II it will defintly work for me.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:54 pm
1 We have a group together and have started playing venues for $ and I want to become more than a strummer and a singer
2. Perhaps could learn to do some fills and pick out a few lead parts.
December 9th, 2009 at 2:55 pm
I’ve been playing for just short of four years and have picked up on most everything I can do with a chord but soloing has eluded me. I need instruction on how to get thru that barrier.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
While i would very much like to have a copy of this new course and in my present circumstances cant afford to buy it at the present time and as i have been a subscriber for a while now i know if you invested your time and energy into this project it is worthy of owning. but i would rather see someone else get the opportunity to own the free giveaway because i am determined to reach my goals no matter how long it takes me. But i do enjoy everything i do get to experience posted and created by being a subscriber. Thanks, Keith
December 9th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
My wife has gotten me over most of my shyness and convinced me that I do have a fairly good voice. I play chords in the group she has gotten me into and would love to be able to play the lead in some of the songs we play. We play 50s Rock. It’s a blast and I feel I’m really coming out of my shyness shell. Being able to play a lead along with the singing would be my dream come true. I’m very excited at the possiblity!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
I really,really need to improve my playing.This would definitely help me as I play chords only,cause I’m struggling with the scales.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
Dan,
1. I know it will help like all the others you sold me!
2. Knowledge is a wonderful thing!
Merry Christmas to you and family!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
I have watched many of your videos, and really like your teaching style. Although I know some chords and scales, I can’t seem to break out of the rut of this regimen, and getting into improvising more. I have several “how-to” guitar programs, but the learning is going very slow. I am 66, disabled, and live on a fixed income. Winning this course would be just great!
Regards,
Alden~

1.)Because, I really want to be able to play my guitar and so for I just don’t seem to be making progress that meets my expectations.
2.)So for I really can’t play and if your new course Simple Solo’s really works for me then it could be the proof that your toughest student was able to learn and play from your course. I have invested so much money in equipment and lessons. You should know because I have purchased every course you have come out with. I trust in your commitment in teaching anyone wanting to play a guitar.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
Dan, I started learning guitar about two years ago. Took lessons for a short while but something just wasn’t clicking. Was looking for another option when thie economy went south. Still working but I now have my daughter and granddaughter (our first and blessed by it) living with us.I have been studying guitar theory on my own and I’ve been blown away with how a great an instrument it really is. I know some scales, I know some songs but it’s not really playing for me. Videos like yours and others have kept me going but all the pieces just aren’t coming together. Watching and listening to your videos lifts me up. I don’t want to just follow the bouncing ball, I WANT TO BE THE BALL!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
Dan: Verdaderamente encontré una forma fácil y entretenida de aprender, tienes una habilidad para enseñar y eso es lo bueno; me divierto y progreso estudiando con tus lecciones.
Saludos
December 9th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
Dan,
1. I feel like I’m at a “stuck point” with creating solos. I know a decent amount of theory but I still struggle with choosing the right scales and finishing my “ideas” in the right spots.
2. A better understanding of choosing the right scales would be a great benefit for me. That part of my theory is weak and needs help. I’ve also purchased a course from you in the past and your teaching style lines up with my learning style.

I am a bass player trying to get along with lead guitar
playing in case the leadguitar player&singer gets too drunk.
After that I will try singing lessons as well ….uhh ..
December 9th, 2009 at 3:10 pm
I would like to own a copy of this course because, I have been doing what you would call playing at it for over 40 yrs now. I am self taught, and I have always wanted to play lead guitar. My family was very poor and couldn’t afford to pay $6.00 per hr for lessons. I would build my own guitars out of cigar boxes and rubber bands. The neck would be a couple of yard sticks glued together and holes at the end for the rubber bands to go through. I would use different kinds of bands, some were thick and some were thin. After I joined the Army at 17, I met a dude from California, he was a suffer dude and he played a little. So, he bought him a small amp & cheap guitar. He would pick on it every once in a while, so I asked to barrow it for a while. He gave it to me and I told him when he wanted it back to let me know, funny, he never did ask for it back and when he got out, he told me to keep it, that he would get another one when he got home. I practiced on that little rig for three yrs, teaching my self different cords. My neighbor, we lived off post, played in a band in Florida and when I would ask him to show me some things, he said maybe one day. I think he showed me one things in the 3 yrs I lived next to him. Anyway, to this day, any and everything I know on the ax is what I have taught myself and I’m now 63 yrs old, disabled and still wanting to learn how to play. That’s why I would like to have a copy of your course, cause I think it would help me very much.
Why I think it would help my playing, well, for starters, it would be information from a pro that knows what he’s talking about. I wouldn’t have to wonder if I was doing things in the correct manner. I am just now trying to leard the major C scale, but, the dude that is trying to teach me will only give me the first scale pattern and told me to find the rest on my own. Well, not knowing how to do that makes it quite difficult. As a child, my parents couldn’t afford the cost of lessons for me and when I got old enough to do it on my own, they were even higher to the point that I could buy a weeks groceries for the amount they wanted to charge me. Needless to say, I still can’t afford them. So, I just keep trodding along and playing by ear. Can you or will you please help me.
Thank you,
Your friend in music,
Bill Brown

I would love to have the course, as I have bought a couple of your other courses and they have help me in many differnt ways. So Im thinking that this Creating Simple Solos would be most helpfull also, just like your other courses. Im a struggleing with creating solos and playing solos. I know the scales but just cant implement them.I think this course will change all that and get me going down the right road. This could really round out my playing.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
1) Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I’ve worked through Blues Guitar Secrets and developed a great deal as a musician. I can back up other people with blues in almost any key. However, I lack confidence to solo and find I keep falling back on the same riffs over and over again, boring even myself! I have a group of friends with whom I jam regularly, and I dread the times they tell me to “take the solo.” I feel like I am stuck, and I’m not sure why.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
If this is presented anything like Blues Guitar Secrets, the course would give me just enough theory and foundation to take my playing to the next level. It would provide opportunities for me to try out ideas on my own before I bring them to my jam group. And though the knowledge I would gain, I would have confidence to step forward, turn up the volume and “take the solo!”
Thanks for this opportunity, Dan! You rock! And blues, too!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
1. I want to own this course because I am always trying to learn new stuff on guitar and have been looking for something like this
2. I have trouble with the basics of music theory and would really learn a lot from this course
cheers man!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Dan, as I own several of your courses, it’s really easy to say “I’d like to own this one as well!” Each of your lessons are unique, simple and to the point, not a load of rehashed material that is found in other places. Every one of your courses brings something fresh to the table and is served up in simple, easy to understand terms.
Learning a method that allows me to pull simple licks together would be great! I have a store of small, simple licks, but when I put them together, they sound like, well, put together simple licks, not a solo. I’ll be looking forward to your course!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I would really like to advance my playing… I’ve been pretty well stuck at my current level for far too long.
Hopefully this course will get me past playing simple melody lines to something more advanced.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
I would love to play what I hear in my head! A road map on how to get there would be great. I could use the help!!!!!!!!! Thanks Rob
December 9th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I can write you a song any time any way. But they take my guitar when I get up to play. A magic Simple Solo bends time and space. Mr. Denley please be frenly - get me to that special place!
This translates to: Why do I need the course? My playing needs help and suffers from lack of expert direction. What would I gain? - Dan’s expertise shared in Solo Guitar Lessons properly applied will enable me to get the music I hear in my head onto the guitar in solos along with the many additional secrets that he passes along.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Dan….Been playing for a long time. One thing always stumped me. PLAYING LEAD GUITAR!!!! I been listening to Hendrix/Clapton/Santana…..the list goes on and on and could never play lead. I thought maybe I over thought lead guitar. If I could pick out riffs, some how they never sound right. Then the stumbling block–WHAT DO I DO NEXT?? I know dozens and dozens of riffs. Can’t put them together. Then there’s the timing thing. I’ve been stuck like this for years. It’s like I should know what to do next but I draw a blank. Something is just out reach, I’m missing something. It’s so close you could taste it. It’s very frustrating. I could probably go on and on, but I’ll stop here. Maybe this course will be my salvation! Always enjoyed your emails and your style teaching. Plain, honest and simple. Cheers back at you!! Tom from Illinois………….
December 9th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
the course would benifit me in two ways
1st i have struggled fora long time to get the required motivation to practice and the right course work to practice with.
2nd to be honest its free lets not pretend we are all doing this for this very reason, i cant afford lessons my 3 kids and house make sure of that so wish me luck
December 9th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I’ve wanted to play guitar my whole life. Finally, two years ago at the age of 37, I finally bought a guitar and started playing. With a family and career it’s difficult to commit to instructor-led lessons, but I play every day and have made good progress using DVD and online courses, which allow me to practice at odd hours. But the thing that consistently trips me up is soloing. I already put in the time, but a good, on-demand course like yours would give me the guidance I need to realize my long-time dream of being a real guitarist.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
Memorizing scales and practicing licks hasn’t been enough for me. I could really use structure and guidance from someone who knows what it takes to become a great guitarist. I think your course would focus my efforts by showing me what I need to know, providing useful things to practice, and helping me track my progress. In my hands, your course would not go to waste! I’ll even video my progress so you can see how I’m improving!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
1.) I would like to own this set for the fact that at the present time I be of limited resources and have been a great admirer of yours and your courses(window shopping) for quite some time now(love to have your blues). Now would be my chance to learn learn from a famed teacher.
2.) I play some and would like to start gigging in the near future but lack the confidence given in a straight forward package such as outlined here by a trusted famous player. I feel that that this corse may indeed give me that umph to give me comfort and ease of play when the near future I’m hoping for comes.(I only play blues guitar unleashed n some chords, almost there but lack lead mechanics)
December 9th, 2009 at 3:21 pm
Hi Dan,
I would like to own a copy of this course because simply because it expands on concepts I have already learned in Lead Guitar Secrets; It will help my playing helping me create simple solo’s instead of making them sound like scales
Keep up the excellent work
December 9th, 2009 at 3:26 pm
I have just today received my entire order of the amazing guitar secrets and i am bowled over. There are countless DVD’s, tutorials, audio and jamming tracks that i won’t get bored easily for a very long time to come. Thank you so much Dan. “Creating simple solo’s” is a natural add-on to my collection which will see me progressing from an average player at the moment to a great player over the next year or so. I would really like to receive “Creating simple solo’s because from the on line tutorials, you are a great teacher and i believe that that course will boost my technical and creating playing ability to an all time high. Even if i don’t win the set, i will likely purchase the set, however to be chosen would be a blessing. Take care and all the best.

1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
The continued expansion of my understanding of scales, arpeggios and playing techniques will continue to widen my phrasing ability.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
This answer is pretty much a continuation of my previous response. More foundational understanding provides for a more expressive musical experience. The bottom line is, if your course is as useful as it claims to be, it will add to my musical expression.
Best regards,
Barry
December 9th, 2009 at 3:28 pm
I been trying to get a courses to help me under stand how put solos together in the right key.My playin would in proof when you no what you doing
December 9th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
I’m a recent double amputee and find myself playing guitar with a hodge podge of free micro lessons on the internet. It would be great to have an organized professionally done instructional course like you offer.
How do i think this will help my playing
Timing, Great riff,s to pull apwrt
December 9th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
1: I have purchased before courses from Mr Denley and I can say that I feel that I have improved. Learning guitar is a long process and every bit of help such as these courses are essential to make us solid musicians.
2: These video courses are like a 24hr tutor, so it means that you can learn at your pace and any time you want during the day. Working different shifts nights and days makes it impossible for me to attend a guitar course but the new ideas/skills/styles I got from these courses always helped alot. I am happy with results so far.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Hi Dan
I would like to have a copy of your new Creating Simple Solos course because I bought your guitar soloing course and I improved a lot giving me a good base. Now I want to create my own solos hence your courses are very didactics.
We have a teachers band called losDSOsos (The desired)and I´m supposed to be the lead guitarist
So send me one of the three copies please
cheers

1.Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
To create simple but inspiring solos.
2.How do you think it would help your playing?
Inspiration and guidance!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
It would be nice to have a full, complete course as so far all I have is bits and pieces of stuff stored on my Favorite Places to refer to. Your teaching style is simple, easy to follow and I think I can benifit from what you know. BT
December 9th, 2009 at 3:34 pm
i need all the help i can get
December 9th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
I have no hard-luck story to tell. I’m a semi-retired (competition British Sports Car) driver who now spends seven months of the year with previously forgotten interests like my guitar. I’ve had my instrument for many years and can only play in the first position - not one step farther. I’m looking for a course that will simplify playing up & down the fret board.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:39 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I’ve been thinking about creating a “lick library” that I could use to create solos on the fly for some time.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
If have a bunch of “plug and play” licks that I can use at will over any chord progression then I think I could “paste” some together to create original solos. Plus it would probably help me understand where some of my favorite guitarists are “coming from” when they come up with their solos.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Never won anything before. And need a stimulas package this year. this course will help.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Hi Dan
I completed your Amazing Guitar Secrets but still can’t play solo.
This course may help me to improve my playing.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:42 pm
Improvisation skills are not taught in traditional music programs, but we find ourselves scrambling for materials to help our students learn this skill. This would be beneficial for me, personally, as a musician and music therapist to liven up our therapy groups but also as a teacher who is helping young players develop this skill.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
Hi,
till this time I didn’t find a easy course that show me the right way to create solos and I think this will be the course I have been waiting for. I need the best.
cheers
Dieter (Germany)
December 9th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
I believe that this course will help me because it will make more enthusiastic on learning music theory and reinforcing what I learn so far in regards to scales. This material on your new course would be useful to add a little more flavor to the things I practice and would create a challenge.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:49 pm
Answers to Questions 1) and 2) combined:
As a hobbyist, I want to be fluent in several types of guitar playing. Since I am not a professional musician with a fancy degree, I have to rely on guys like Dan Denley to help my playing (I also have a tight budget since I have a large family).
December 9th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
I have your Blues Guitar Secrets 2.0 and I like the way you teach. When I try to solo over chord changes, I have trouble playing the right notes with the right chords. I hope this course could help.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:51 pm
1. Which (beginning) gitarist doesn’t dream about making terrific solos ? well a dream can come true with this course.
2. I know pentatonic scales, I have jearned some solos but create solos is a great step forward, and this course will certainly guide my way to it.
December 9th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
Hi Dan:
I would really like to win this course because I live on a small island and it is really hard to find people to jam/learn with.
I believe this course would help me mostly because I enjoy your approach to teaching . . . you make it fun and, best of all, logical! The course would be a great start for the New Year!!
Good Luck to everyone! Whoever wins will be very lucky!!
December 9th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
1. I can learn all the soloing tricks that I’ve been awed by for years!
2. Will increase confidence,understanding and improve ability
December 9th, 2009 at 4:00 pm
1. You’re a kewl guy - and, it’s Christmas.
2. I’d really like to play with the guys - with confidence!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
it would be nice to create solo’s on any scale and understand what you have created , and be able to repeat that same thing over and over again . but it would would also be nice to share that info with others
December 9th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
Hi, Dan!
I started playing guitar when i was 12 years old. First I’ve been playing Classical Guitar for some years in Primary and Secondary School. But my dream was to become a rock guitarist and singer and logically when i was 18 years old after receiving my first electric guitar as a present from my father for my birthday i began to study and practise to play songs and solos and i continue to do this until now.
Especially on the solos i was studying to improvise according to scales from various books. After years of playing i develop sense of soloing, but the thing that missed is the transitions between scales and how to learn to do free walking to the whole guitar improvising melodically. That’s why i’m interested in your “Solo Course” just to learn this secret of the free soloing.
Regards,
Vence
December 9th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
I am 85 years old and would like to play solo and chords together, so that the song sounds like one.
the real oldies is what i am takling about,lost my voiec due to cancer and now want to play a song that sounds like one. Now on oxygen 24-7, Not Much Time left? Hi Hi
Thanks for your time for an old veteran

if you want to learn to solo and play with the big dogs with style and finese then this is the course you should pick up.dan’s course’s are put together and taught by an excellent guitarist and teacher.he takes complex musical subjects and breaks them down so you can get them under your fingers and fully understand what your are playing.if you have the desire and put the effort in to it this course it will have you improvising beautiful solos that are all yours.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
Through dedication and hard work I have reached a competent level of playing rythm with a band. It is a fact that if we don’t keep striving to learn, then the end result is to take the Boston two step :-)) One step forward - two steps back! You have hit the nail on the head for me at this point in this new course with respect to lead guitar. IE:
* You want to play lead but don’t know how to get started.
* Confused by scales and music theory mumbo-jumbo.
* Frustrated by lack of step-by-step training.
* Tried other “how-to-play” courses and failed.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
This really wouldn’t be for me, it would be for 5 others.
Mastering this course would allow me to give it back to our Band (name still needed all suggestions welcome) with some lead guitar sweetness!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:18 pm
I need this course to improve my ability to play better music.
I play for Church and most times I am the only musician. Please help. Thanks.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
Me gustaria tener este curso por lo facil que haces de entender las lecciones y por lo completas que éstas son… lo que este curso haría por mí es hacerme un mejor guitarrista, ni más ni menos…
December 9th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
Hi Dan,all I have to say is WOW!!!I never knew this could be so intresting and easy!! Youve done it again!! Now why would I like to own this course? Well for starters,I know very little about soloing and this course would be a great place to start.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
I really need help in making my solos sound more like melodies and in transitioning between chord changes.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
I have been playing the guitar for 39 years and have taken a few courses offered by Dan Denley which has helped me in my playing skills tremendously. I now have a 13 year old nephew that is showing a lot of interest in the guitar and think that owning this course would not only help my skills but also help my nephew along as I teach him. I am always looking for ways to improve and helping someone else helps me to learn new things also!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
It would be great to have some soloing ability thats why i would like to own your new course,I think it would help me because i have confidence in your teaching ability dan.
regards
stuart
December 9th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Hi Dan, I own your Acoustic Secrets DVDs and it has helped a lot with my playing.I’m starting to play some lead with the help of your lesson but seem to play scales without making transition to lead.
Thanks, Terry Tiedeman
December 9th, 2009 at 4:30 pm
wish me luck
December 9th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
could you please give a better description of what you learn,do you slow the camera down and explain things.If I don’t win I could buy
December 9th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Yes, of course I would like the course. hee,hee.
Would definitely help me. Licks are one thing
but soloing would be fabulous! Dan, either you
study/practice real hard or your a natural. Either
way, thanks for what you do!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
If this course is anywhere near as good as your Acoustic Guitar Secrets, then I can only be on to a winner. I’ve done the part where I have learned my chords and scales, now I need to make the next move which is to progress and to put it all together and be able to play great solos.
I may not ever be as good as Hendrix or Clapton, but to be able to just undrestand what, why and how these geniuses came to make such fantastic music would be enormous.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
I am disabled and on a fixed income. I don’t have the extra cash to be able to purchase your course. I have been relearning the guitar and need to learn how to solo properly. I really never knew how. I always “faked it.” Thanks for the chance to win!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
I can play chords and would like to learn how to play solos.
I think it would help in my understanding of song structure
December 9th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Hi Dan–
I’d like to own this new course because I’ve not hadf n much success with the online-only courses I’ve tried. It just takes too long to turn on your computer, fire up a web browser, navigate to a site, pick a lesson, wait for it to download, etc etc. I’d rather just jump in and play! A set like this one that uses books and DVDs is far easier and quicker.
I think the course will help me improve my playing by providing quick access to simple soloing. Complexity is nota substitute for musicality–who says that you can’t create emotion withouta gazillion notes all over the neck? I am looking for a direct approach to soloing, and I think your course may opeb that doorway.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
Dan, I’d like to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time yet practice practice practice is the motto. Dvd’s help that process for me. I just want to know what i’m doing. Anyway, If I win I want you
to bless Jim Grewe the disabled brother with it. Thanks Blessings this Christmas to you and your family.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I want to buy this course because i’m not very good at guitar, I’m in a rock band and need to create simple solos for “us”. It would help my playing because of my difficulty in making solos: the leader of my band said if I don’t make at least SIMPLE solos, I’m out of the band. If I win this course, I continue in the band and my experience will go UP and UP. I could buy it, but I’m not good at money. The band neither.
Thnks.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:46 pm

December 9th, 2009 at 4:46 pm
I can always use more help in solo playing, the boundries are limitless. So I really hope I win because if your course is as good as you say, then I’ll be the best spokesman out there for you!!!!
Thanks a lot!!
December 9th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
1. I want to learn more. I need the help this would give me. I would like to own a copy of this course, I simply can not afford to buy your courses right now due to cut backs at work.
2. I am in a rut, I think this course would help me to get over the rut and advance my playing to the next level and help me to understand solos much better.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
To prove to everybody…
“If can do with me, can do teh same to anyone else”
I really Have problems with soloing…let´s see what this course can do to a Dumm but intermediate guitar player..
Cheers to all
December 9th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
I would love to own this course because,I love to play guitar and I am always looking for different ways to learn. It would help me because I am a rhythm player with very little lead skills.I would love to have the jam tracks to practice with and to learn the scales properly so I’m not hitting sour notes.
December 9th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Every amature guitarist would love to know how to create solos that are more in line with their level of playing. Your ability to clearly demonstrate while giving one the confidence to excel in an area we stuggle in, is the best. Because I am now at the senior side of life, new things don’t come quite as easy as they use to. Thanks for your talent and ability.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
I would like to win a copy of this course to amp up my guitar game. I believe it could be of use to me in helping to craft unique solos that avoid cliches.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
Hi Dan,
Your course that I purchased has helped me very much. I can just imagine the next course will be better.
Thanks,
Gordon W.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:02 pm
After listening to all you have been teaching and offering, this would really help me be able to get the guidance I need to be able to put solos together and get them to sound right too. Thanks for everything.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
I’ve been wanting your course, but just haven’t taken the initiative to send for it. Perhaps this will prove motivating. Enjoy your emails.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
I have been playing guitar for many many years, (20+) and can handle rhythm pretty well. The one thing that has always been a mystery to me is soloing. I have read many articles and books regarding this and for one reason or another, I could never get a handle on it. I learned the pentatonic scales and everything I try to play sounds just like a scale no matter what I do to mix it up a bit. So I need help from anyone that can cut to the chase and show me some things.
If I ever learn to master soloing or at least sound half way decent I would fell more confident and whole as a player.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
I need some help to improve.
The creativity behind your course may inspire me to be more creative myself.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
I would love to be able to play the Guitar better because i certainly can’t get any worse.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
1) I am nearing the end of a long, serious, non-musical career and just want to play interesting and creative music for the time I have left on this earth.
2)As much as I enjoy other kinds of guitar playing, I believe lead is where the soul shines through. I imagine the course will help me shine in this important work.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:15 pm
I would you love to own a copy of this course to - of course - improve my playing, especially my soloing.
From your descriptions, I believe this course would help me with choosing the right scales and playing them over a greater variety of backing tracks and with live rythem sections.
Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy and for all your courses, emails, and tips!
December 9th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I need one of your courses, but can not afford to buy it, as I am a disabled Vietnam Vet and unable to work a real job.
I am sure that your courses would enable me to become a good enough musician so that I could get a paying gig.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
I think this course would help my solos sound more fresh and original
December 9th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Dan - i would love to win a copy of your new course - so that i can actually try one of your courses for myself. They all sound great - and i would actualy like to try one to see if they actually do work and improve my guitar playing. Winning one seems to be the only way i’m going to get to try one though - as i have tried in vain to correspond with you in the past - only to recieve pasty half - answers to my questions - from one of your marketing gurus -cheers Peter
December 9th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
I just want to play the guitar and soloing is one of my problem areas. This course will help take me there.
If it’s as good as your other courses I have, then this is the solo course for me.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
The new course would improve my solo playing as well as improving my music knowledge. Also your course will improve my ability to move on to the mext level.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
1) I need to see how solos are played since I do not read notes or tabs and I think this would be just the right thing for me
2) Also I am a little visually impaired and this course would help me a lot to not just see ( when I enhance the picture) but to here what I need to play to get it right
December 9th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
i haved learn from every lesson. you are a great teacher thanks joetheshakerRBLEG
December 9th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
1. I’ve been playing guitar for about 20 yrs. and believe it or not, I have never learned any proper techniques for soloing. I’ve played with them here and there but I’ve never written anything that good. I’ve never had any lessons, I have always played by heart, which I feel is the best way for me. Why play if you can’t “feel” what you are playing. I would love to be able to create some nice solos to go with the music I create and I believe your method is just what I’m looking for.
2. I think it would help my playing in a couple of ways. For starters, it would be nice to lay some solo tracks down with my rhythms. There’s always something missing in my songs, SOLOS. I think it would also help to make my rhythms more dynamic by teaching me some techniques that would carry over to that realm as well.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Ive been singing tenor in church choirs and community groups. Ive been told I should be singing on a more professional level. The problem is I don’t play piano or Guitar so I always have to rely on someone else for my music. This course would give me the chance to make my own music to accompany my voice and give me the boost I need.
This Course I believe would help me start to achieve the skills i need to prosper with my music Thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 5:28 pm
I want this course, because it would be a great compliment to Dan’s other two courses that I own BGS II and Lead Guitar. Actually, if you have any of Dan’s courses, you know he has a gift for teaching and his courses are the closest that come to like sitting in front of a live teacher, compared to the others out there. When Dan has a new course, I’m going to feel like I’m missing something if I don’t get it.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:31 pm
I never win, so i think iw ill lose this game too, but i take the chance to get these DVDs. I would love to learn playing solos on the guitar.
Anyway good job m8
Cheers
December 9th, 2009 at 5:33 pm
1. I need to own a copy of the course to further my limited guitar playing ability. My ability is returning after a major setback due to a broken left wrist in May this year. Dan, you have the ability to pass along your gift of playing. I’d like to have your gift.
2. I’ve learned to play from sheet music with tabs of country and rock songs I know by heart. However, I need a good course to sort of round off the rough edges and give me a style of pickin’ n’ grinnin’. I’m sittin’ home now with a broken hip so I have plenty of time to play.
Have a great day.
Jim
December 9th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I admire your courses and have learned a lot from acoustic guitar secrets. I don’t mind playing alone in the bedroom but am really nervous about playing with others. I am totally at a loss and embarassed when the other guy nods and it’s my turn to solo. I want your course as I want to be able to enjoy taking a solo spot and be confident in my abiility to do so.
Your course will help me take the leap from playing a few patterns in scales that sound pretty pathetic to having the knowledge to construct a pretty good solo that I will be confident to play. To be able to jam with other guitar players is now just a fabulous dream and your course will help me to fulfill this cherished wish. Getting your course will be the best present Santa ever gave me.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course? Learning to play the guitar from your DVD’s and CD’s have been great for a person like myself that get distracted really easy but with your calm nature and precise instructions have really help me. I began really learning “guitar” from your instructions and I can’t see no reason why stop now. I tell you I may not be the best but you have really shown me I can play.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
Creating simple solos would not only increase my knowledge but it would also bust my confidence to be able to lead and do solos. I’m actually looking forward to do that some day with your help of course.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:34 pm
I have been in the same rut for the last 15 years and practicing the same songs, runs and solos over and over learning nothing. I really need to get out of this rut and from what I have seen from your free videos this is the method/course to help me. I could not make up my own complete solo to save my life. All up I have been playing for 38 years and need to be shown the light. Help me walk in to the light Dan.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:35 pm
1.I used to play guitar man years ago. My 11 year old sone, is now learning, and is getting really excited about it. We sometimes play together, as surprisingly his tast in music is very similar to mine ( boston, kansas, styx, greenday, clapton etc. ) I have started trying to pick it up again, and since he preferes rythm, I would like to compose simple leads to jam along, before he hits his teens and decides he hates dad, and dosnt want to hand with me any more.
2.I have always been the type who learns by doing, as long as I have good reference material.
Based on the revies I have seen of you other course, as well as the description above of this course, I think It should suit my learning style perfectly. My Goal being as stated in Question 1, that I wish to learn to devise solos that I can play over the rythms My sone is learning, preferably if I can do so such that the feel of my solo, can at least approximate the feel of the original artist.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Dan, I have played rhythm my whole life. I am now wanting to expand and begin to add lead guitar skills.
I play with a group of old retirees twice a week and we need someone who can play lead. We try to pass that responsibility around between us but I feel very inadequate. So that is how I would use the skill.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
Hi Dan. Thanks for all the free stuff you put up on the web. I’ve been playing for 14 years. I’m pretty good as a second guitarist, but can bore you pretty quick if I’m doing lead work. I’m looking to expand my knowledge of how everything works together and to learn to put more heart or feeling into my solos. Also how to use different scales to make my soloing more interesting. Hoping to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. Thanks, Tom
December 9th, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Hey Dan It would a big help for any one, the more a person can get to learn to play the guitar and to play solos the better it would help me to learn when and how to play solos and make a better guitar player out of me the only way to get better is to learn from a good teacher.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Why would anyone not want one of Dan’s courses? From my past and current experiences with Dans instruction, This course, like all of his instructional material can only further my, or anyone else’s musical skills.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Simply put, this course will give me DIRECTION. It gets soooo confusing trying to learn how to solo from courses that are said to be simple to understand. Especially when they are using phrases that you’ve never heard of. It’s easy to get lost in all of the “so called” courses out there that are supposed to be geared towards teaching what this course is designed to teach, creating SIMPLE solos. Simple being the optimum word. Learning how to play the guitar, no matter what the course is you are taking, is supposed to be fun, not a chore.
As far as how I feel it will help my playing, that’s easy. It will give me the necessary tools to getting to know my guitar on a more “intimate” level, if you will. Some of the best guitar solos ever played, from Chuck Berry and BB King to Eddie Van Halen and Slash have come from musicians who have gotten to know their guitars on that level. This course will allow me the opportunity to unlock those doors and incorporate a dimension that eludes the majority of us who only dream about being able to play our guitars in such a profound manner.
December 9th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Hey Dan, nice to finaly get to chat, sort of. Ive been playing giutar all my life. I play by ear, never could afforde thr books and such.There.s still so much to learn, and being a disabled vet Ive got plenty of time.Ya know there,s alot of stuff on the internet, but just bits an pieces here nd there. The Blues is my passion, I play a lot of dferent styles, but the blues is the blues.I hoe that you keep sending out the little lessons, the even help a dummy like me.Peace Dude
December 9th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
Dan,
I have been looking at the material you have been sending me… VERY close and I believe… BELIEVE TRULY that your courses would bring me from the mediocre same ‘ol same ‘ol player that I am now into a much better player that could possibly even start playing at the pro level.
The methods you show have already benefited me and further study using your techniques would enhance what I already know, I have studied your short tutorial on tapping and have improved 1000% just in that one area and would expect the same results in probably most other areas as well. This preview material has already helped me. Thanks for sending those short lessons.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
I have noticed with this course.It teachers you how to solo
using groups of notes in various positions over the fretboard as well as phrasing.I’m at the age I need to utilise my playing time as best as possible.I do have music knowledge I can improvise over jam tracks but I would like more ideas to expand my playing which I think this course can help.
Regards
December 9th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Hey Dan, just aline to say that I think that yourmethod is a good or better than any other,s that Ive had a chance to check out.Ive been playing all my life, I play by ear, as you knw, sometyimes those scale changes can be a ….. anyway, keep at it, send more freebies, maybe some day I can check out some of these corses.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
Dan you have taken me from being a no hope,no skill no interest strummer in to a confident have a go at anything guitarist. My thirst for guitar knowledge is insatiable and your courses tick all the boxes. Thanks for helping this 60 year old fulfill his dreams. Forever in your debt. Pete
December 9th, 2009 at 6:06 pm
To be honest, Dan’s Blues Guitar Jam Tracks has helped me get out of the first inversion with surprising results and I thank him greatly! Then I purchased ” Smokin’ Hot Lead guitar Solos” and I got a bit lost but it benefited me somewhat. I think if there was an intermediay course to help me meld the two, this may be it. I need to practice more, but at my own pace. Maybe this will do it. Thanks Dan!!
December 9th, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I would certainly go for this course as i have been trying to get passed the chord playing and as the course has videos it would help me al lot as i am profoundly deaf i cannot pick a lot from cd,mp3.
PS tryed to purchase your lead guitar course but did not have the credit cards used by your site.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
1) To improve upon the material you have all ready provided for me. My foundation is solid, now I want to raise the bar to a higher level following your methods.
2) By integrating this new course with the other two courses I have from you, I will increase my guitar playing skills to a much higher level. That is my goal to reach for the stars.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
1. For one thing I like the way you teach. most classes go so fast you can’t keep up. I would and probably eventually will get your whole course, but because of the economy I can’t afford it right now.
2. I’ve got a band and I am trying to play lead but it takes me so long to find where I need to be its pitiful. With your teaching I could really make a whole lot of progress, You do a good job. Thanks Dan
December 9th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
1. Your teaching style is smooth and easy to follow.
2. I think this course would help me put what is in my head, onto the neck more fluid and precise.
Thanks Dan, your other videos and hints have helped already.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
I have tried several coursed in the past couple of years and they have been over my head and ability. I do not want to invest in any more unless I KNOW they will help me.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:22 pm
I’ve been playing guitar off and on for over 40 years. It has always been one of my favorite hobbies and sometimes just the ability to play guitar for myself has been very cathartic and therapeutic at times when life seemed pretty dark or mundane. Some of your other courses I’ve bought have helped immensely in getting a better idea of the theory and helping to expand my proficiency. I’m at a point in my guitar playing career and experience where I have most of the fine points down pretty well for sounding like I want to. But, really playing the guitar for the spiritual and zen effects requires a better “vocabulary” to express and say what you are really feeling. Lead guitar and little riffs and solos are where that vocabulary and means of communication become extremely important. Some of the short free demos have been unbelievably great in helping to expand that vocabulary. If the guitar is your voice then adding to that vocabulary skill is of paramount importance. I’ll probably never get to play in a band again so being able to wow myself and a few other friends and musicians with a more knowledgeable way to express those deep feelings would be special now.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
1. I’ve owned some of your courses before and they deliver what they say. Being short of time as we all are I would love to own a course that cuts to the chase and does away with all of the theoretical stuff but provides practical info that can actually be played. Based on past performance, your course will deliver.
2. I think it will help my playing because one it will give me a firm basis of what I need to do and then I can personalize my playing and be creative in my own way.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
1) 1.I would you like to own a copy of this course because i do bought the Blues guitar secret 2.0 and i enjoy every minutes of it. And it would be a nice add-on to my collection of lessons from you .
2)I know it would help my playing just like all the lessons i took from you,Dan. You take time to explain at a speed that anybody can follow and with a Good quality of videos, Jam Tracks and a great book to follow, it’s a pleasure to sit in front of the tv and learn to play like i never though i could play.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:40 pm
I’m just now at a place where I am starting to improvise over jam tracks. I know just enough about major and minor scale intervals to be sort of “there” but I’m not there yet. I study alone for the most part late at night so your courses are ideal for me. I don’t have to look for an “all night” music teacher. I believe that I’m ready for the next step with soloing and have good reason to believe that your course is it.
Gregory Harrison Glaser
December 9th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
1. I would like this course because it would make a killer birthday present 12/16/49. I am also naturally skeptical of online offers, and I tend to intellectualize things to death before making a move. I bought a tv a couple of years ago, but it took me almost a year of research before I hit the “buy now” button. It may be too late to help this old fart, but you never know. Right?
2. As a beginner, any instruction will benefit my playing.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
I need this course! I truly suck at lead & soloing. I have been studying the guitar on & off throughout the years and have gotten ok with rythm guitar. I have taught myself the entire fretboard up to the 16th fret. but I cannot put together decent solos. I do not sing, so for me, I need to do both to accompany myself on the guitar. I am so frustrated that I know the fretboard but cannot use the knowledge the way I want to. I have gotten alot of good info from your videos and they have hepled me immensely, you have a good way of explaining things where it is easy to pick up and apply the knowledge.
December 9th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
I would love to win this course. I’d love to be able to afford it but I can’t. I always feel inferior to everyone else with my playing. Everyone always seems to be better than me at guitar. I’d like a course like this to show people that I can play guitar and just for once that im not that bad.
I don’t hold much hope of winning though, i never do. Thanks for the free videos though dan I really appreciate getting at least some tution.
Keep up the good work
Stuart
December 9th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Dear Dan
I like so many others are trying to learn the guitar and as most the cords are tough but can be done. but like myself solo’s seem to frustrate me.even simple ones.because with out the money to pay a exspencive trainer we’ll stuggle.Im glad that you came out with this lesson.I believe that it just maybe what we all need.especially myself!.
Thank You!!
December 9th, 2009 at 7:04 pm
I’m retired and disabled and cant’t afford to buy guitar courses.I havn’t played in over thirty years and i’m trying to play again,it’s like starting over from scratch.I think a good guitar course might help get me back on the right track again
Thanks for the chance to win this.
Bob
December 9th, 2009 at 7:12 pm
ive toyed with the idea of your courses but ive been there done that. skeptical you could call me.
`i would like this course because im crazy about any new guitar knowledge, i love it, i wish i could go to school.
i love step by step stuff especially when it is something i like to hear. if your course does what it says it cant help but help my playing. i love to improvise and any help there would be great;
thanks dan
larry
December 9th, 2009 at 7:13 pm
The course would give the opportunity to save on private lessons. The couse could be used at my time frame, not someone elses. It would give me the opportunity to learn at my pace, which for someone who just turned 46 and just starting playing guitar six months ago is pretty slow.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I would like to own a copy of your courses, because they are easy to understand and to follow the instructions. My birthday is on December 15th on that day.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I would like to win this course because I have loved music my whole life and just a year ago finally, after 50 years on the planet, started taking guitar lessons on an inexpensive Gibson Maestro bought by my wife for my anniversary last year. Once I hacked through some simple rhythm tunes using A, E and D, I got good enough to convince myself and my wife that I could invest in a strat-o-caster. I have been playing this past year and using tidbits from your course and Griff’s course and getting tabs and riffs from my guitar instructor and I’m finally gaining the confidence that, with proper training, I can be an excellent guitar player sometime soon. I can’t seem to get enough time in the day to play as long as I want to. I bought a Fender dreadnought acoustic that can plug in or not and sounds great either way so i can practice upstairs with the strat, downstairs with the acoustic/electric and I took the Maestro to work with me so I can play before, after, and during any breaks I get at work. I have the fever, man, and learning how to play lead, just by checking out the videos I have so far, will open up another part of this amazing guitar world that I should have been enjoying a looooong time ago. Please give me consideration for winning this course. I will be forever grateful and you can rest assured that the DVDs will be worn out in no time. Thanks!
December 9th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
love your site been useing all i can get from it but i am on a fix income so i cant aford the full corse
December 9th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
Hi Dan. I am trying to get back into playing the guitar. I had to give up work nearly 4 years ago because of health reasons. My left hand is still very weak. I am still under the neurologist and I use my guitar as occupational therapy. I have good and bad days. I would just like to say thank you for all your emails. I hope to be joining a guitar workshop after christmas depending how my health is. I am 60 next March and have just purchased my first ever electric guitar Fender strat. I can only play lead because I have difficulty playing the chords. I can not play for very long before I have to have a rest. I find this is a stress release exercise and therapy for my left hand. I wish you and all your family ,students and fellow guitarists a Happy Christmas and New Year.Good Luck everyone.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:21 pm
1. Yes, who wouldn’t want this course.
2. I think your course could help me alleviate some of the confusion I have. Ex: Thinking too much, worrying about fingering, what to do next, and also help enhance creativity.
Thanks, for supplying another great option towards learning.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
all my solos playing look similar to a progressive scale. am sure if I am one of the lucky winner I will be able to master my brain to hand ability with awesome riffs, thanks to your video courses which are the best I ever came across..
Thanks Dan,
Gilbert
December 9th, 2009 at 7:32 pm
1. I am a German and am not sure whether I find the way with my few knowledge of English with the course. Therefore, I would win him with pleasure to test him.
2. I am sure that the course would help me, because every video of you has helped me till present.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:33 pm
Like anyone else, why wouldn’t I want to win a free guitar course? I do want to become a better guitarist and any method to improvement is necessary.
I don’t know how it could help, which is why I am entering this contest. I don’t know how something could truly be of my benefit unless I am exposed to it myself. Scales, theory and soloing isn’t something you can suddenly learn on your own, and this just may help my playing.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:38 pm
1. I want to learn how to create lead solos.
2. I have your BGS 2.0 course so I know that your courses are excellent and would be able to teach me what I want to know.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:43 pm
Salut Dan! Je joue quelques gammes que j’ai apprise par coeur mais je ne comprend pas pourquoi les notes sont dans cet ordre. J’aimerais jouer un solo plus long qu’une gamme et développer mon sens de l’improvisation. De ce fait je crois que ton cours serait parfait pour moi.
Je veut te dire merci pour les cours que tu donnes à chaque mois, ce n’est pas cher pour tout les exercices et la théorie que tu donnes.Je te trouve très généreux au niveau du contenu de tes cours.
Merci!
Céline
December 9th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
1) I have only playing for about 3-years and soloing is still very foriegn to me. I have been trying to put together solos for the past 6-months without sucess…
2) My hope is that this course will open my eyes to a “relatively” simple method of developing the techniques needed to perform beginning solos, which will provide even more motivation to practice, practice, practice.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
1. I am ale to play bar and fragment chord progressions with feel. I have a reasonable understanding of major, natural minor and pentatonic scales and the relationship to the chord progressions but have not used a methodical appraoch to develop confidence and skill in their use.
2. I want to be able to colour my song progressions with melodic lead licks to add interest.
Thanks for the opportunity.
December 9th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
yes i would like to win
December 9th, 2009 at 7:53 pm
i bought your amazing guitar secrets and have learned more in two years than the fourty years before i highly recomend your course to all of my friends
i took a chance with your course because i have pulse dial -up and it takes about 1 hour to try to download your little vidios and was amazed at how fast i learned from your course.
i am laid off now for the last two months with out much in the future
December 9th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
yes i would like to win thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Hi Dan, I’ve bought several courses from you, all good.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Dan,I have been struggling for the last few months trying to play lead guitar. I am retired and have a little more time to practice. I plan to spend more time practicing,so I can achieve my goal. This DVD would be very helpful. Thanks for your on line lessons.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
Dan, I really need to win your course ,I am having so much trouble turning scales into solos , so much so that I get frustrated and just give up .I have some of your other courses and I would love to send you a picture of me with your new course.
Bill
December 9th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Hi Dan
I am a Scotsman who has been living in Australia for over 20 years every single day i faithfully pull out the guitar and try and try to create some music in the last 6months finally i am making real progress with my strumming songs through your emails and Amazing Guitar secrets now i am desperate to put some solos in to my strumming and really kick on
December 9th, 2009 at 8:09 pm
hi dan
i have your amazing guitar secrets course,
which has been by far the best guitar playing help
i have ever had.
my playing has improved so much, i cant believe
its me.
however,soloing is a major problem for me.
all of my attempts at soloing sound very robotic,
up and down the scales,sounding much the same.
judging by the free examples you have been sending
im sure your soloing course can help me with this,
many thanks, jeff
December 9th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
1. I began playing about two years ago and am stuck in moving forward. I can pick my way through pentatonic scales and move them around the fret board, but tend to stick in a box when it comes to playing.
2. Your course would help me expand my vocabulary with new ideas for approaching solos.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I am a frustrated former guitarist-in-training. I played both guitar and bass in my teens and got pretty good, considering I had trouble understanding why I was doing what I was doing. The scales, chords, arpeggios, etc. all blended together into an unintelligible blob in my head. What I did learn didn’t click enough for me to apply those skills to song writing or improvising. The learning process was also a bit painful, as I am the type of person that wants to know the how and why. I have watched all the videos from the email newsletters, and feel that your method of teaching would be most beneficial for me based on my learning style.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
The progressive method used to teach is incredibly user friendly, and the camera does a great job in capturing what you are doing. I am confident that your material would help me make sense of everything, enabling me to enjoy the process of (re)learning my instrument. My son is an aspiring drummer, and it would be great to be able to jam with him.
Thanks so much for the opportunity!
December 9th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I am a guitar student in a small country town and hence don’t have a lot of choice with music teachers. I make do with my limited options and a big part of that is utilizing the internet for access to some really great music stuff. Your info has been extremely useful and I am always very grateful and thankful for people like yourself, putting yourself out there for the greater good of music. Apart from my music lesson once a week, i only have myself to jam with alone in my room - my family are not musical unfortunately. So sometimes my motivation gets weak, but i am still trying. Winning a copy of your course would be fantastic and allow me to advance my skills and move along with my goals so much more.It would hopefully provide a boost to the fun element in playing which tends to go out of my playing at times due to always traveling a lone road in my music so far. Thanks for putting your kind offers out there for the internet community - the world needs more kind souls like yourself.
Thanks

What’s up Dan!!!!!!!!
Had lots of fun with Lead Guitar Secrets, and for the first time I came off the ground in my mundane attempts to start playing lead guitar…..I’m sure Creating Simple Solos will be a lot of fun, and who knows that soon enough I’ll be not only playing but also improvising my own stuff…not bad for a 44 year old dude with very little spare time for real fun!!!….thanks Man!!!….looking forward to get your new course…keep on the good work Dan!!!
December 9th, 2009 at 8:29 pm
I would like to own a copy of this course because i’ve been playing almost 30 years but never progressed as far as i should. Every thing that i know, i have taught my self. I have always been skepitcal when it comes to ordering. I have seen so many courses claiming the easy way to learn or there’s no guitar secrets.
I had been playing an acoustic guitar for years until i started loosing interest in playing two years ago. I decided to buy a electric Fender Telecaster a year ago, now i’am really into playing. I want to learn from this course what i should have learned years ago.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
I am anxious to get this course. Dan’s course give you a plan that works.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:32 pm
My guitar playing needs a boost so maybe with this I will make it over the hump ,,,thanks bruce

O- overly fond of simple techniques.
S- saying happy holidays to all my guitar playing friends.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
1. Lead/solo riffs are my weak spot when playing jazz.
2. I’ve tried lots of single video/lessons but I think a complete set of lessons will help a lot more with showing why things work one way, and not another.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:39 pm
There are those who are gifted and can create solos from scratch or even from just a small understanding of theory. This course is mainly for those who are not. This course is for people who need a little guidance to open up possibilities and at the same time enjoy learning it.
Thanks to Dan, as always.

Hi Dan,
Being an Aussie blues man I can only say your courses are well appreciated down under. Simple solos would increase my ability to shred some blues that take my guitar playing to a new level and have an impact on other blues folk in the area. Man, would my wife and kids be impressed. Take care.
Cheers

December 9th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
all i can say is my solo playing sucks,and i really need all the help i can get,i watch your videos all the time,i think your one of the best web teachers out there.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I need all the help I can get, and simpler is better, in my opinion. Thanks for a chance at the giveaway.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:47 pm
I’ve seen Dan’s techniques and have learned something about playing a solo. I picked up a guitar 7 months ago and haven’t been able to put it down since. I lucked onto Dan’s emails and he shows the type of play I want to know. Due to the infancy of my guitar playing experience, I know I can learn from this course because I won’t put it down and I’m going to learn somewhere. I’d rather learn from Dan because he plays like I want to play someday.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:48 pm
I would love to get a copy of this course as I have seen it where your courses have helped me in ways I never knew possible.
I do think it will help as the other 3 courses I got from you is taking me places man!
December 9th, 2009 at 8:51 pm
I would love to learn how to play a solo, I do not have the resources to buy this course but it seem like just what I need. The step by step training by watching the DVD and reading the tab book will for sure help me to accomplish my goals. Thank you for this opportunity.
December 9th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
I would like to learn how to improvise a solo on top of a rhythm someone is playing. Being able to just start somewhere on the fretboard and make it blend in well. Thanks for all your lessons so far!
December 9th, 2009 at 8:59 pm
1. I would like to recieve the course because I just picked up an electric guitar after about a 20 year lay-off, and would like to play like I used to and even better.
2. I think it will help me because there are “holes” in my plyaing in that some things are forgotten, or I know part of it but not the whole, and this course car refresh all that
December 9th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
well i´ll be so happy with a copy of this course becouse a want to learn how to make a solo easy and contundent, i have problems creating my solos becouse i think i think about many tihongs that i´ll like to put in them and at the end everything become a mess, i like very much this Dan Denley curses becouse he explain you step by step and is very easy to understand him, specially if you arent a natural english speaker like me, i´ve learn a lot of things with his videos no only to play in teh guitar, it also helps me to compose themes and do arrangements.
this curse will help me teaching me to do an ordenate solo especially in jazz solos and that will improve my tecnique a lot.
tanks you for this marvelous curses.

December 9th, 2009 at 9:03 pm
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I have been trying to learn on my own and it’s just not working well. I need the help that a professional video from a pro like Dan would provide.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
Having a real course to follow, and not just looking at chord charts hanging on my wall or random videos on Youtube would be invaluable.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Already own two of your courses and know this one will have loads of valuable information on guitar playing.
While I have a fair understanding of scales and chords, I cannot solo. Playing lead guitar is something that I’m pasionate to learn especially fill ins. Fill ins make a song so much better rather than just rythm.
I hope my luck is good and that I will be one of the fortunate winners.
Cheers

December 9th, 2009 at 9:17 pm
A (very) simple lick here, another (short) one there… that I can (sort of) do. But putting the licks together in the best order and in the best place, not to mention actually planning a lengthy lead that will resemble real music, hmmmm, that’s what confounds me… for the moment.
That’s where your new course comes in–I hope! From your description, it seems to me that ‘Creating Simple Solos’ is just what I need to get me to the next level–both in terms of thinking about a solo, and actually playin’ the damn thing so that ears get openin’, heads get bobbin’, and feet get tappin’! Yep, wanna be there!
December 9th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
1. Firstly I would love a copy of creating simple solos basically and honestly because I simply cannot afford to buy many things and this would just make my year.
2. It would improve my playing ability because it would give me an understanding of how riffs are created and the technique in which to apply when soloing.
Cheers
Dean
December 9th, 2009 at 9:24 pm
Being a member of a seniors guitar/uke band playing for various seniors homes we lack a soloist or two. Perhaps I could learn to contribute in that way.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:38 pm
I’d very much like to own this course because I love music more then anything. Getting help with creating music on the guitar or any instrument for that matter is the best help anyone can give someone.
This Course would benefit my playing immensely,I love all genres of music and guitar playing, and when trying to learn these new styles. One can apply these concepts you teach over and over again to new styles and areas of playing therefore helping out with music ENTIRELY!
December 9th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
I have your Blues program and your nrew course will very nicely complete an all-around complete lead guitar program for me. Thank you.
December 9th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
I’ve always been a strummer and have wanted to expand my ability but never had anyone to sit down with me and show me step by step how to play lead. After so many years, I could start anew playing songs in a different way than I ever could before. A whole new world of playing would open up for me.
Thanks!
December 9th, 2009 at 9:46 pm
I am very excited about Creating Simple Solos! It’s definately on my Christmas list! When I saw the sample videos for the course, I grabbed my guitar and was immediately able to play along with the 2-note solo trick video and the 5-note solo video. I got so excited, because I was actually soloing along with the jam track at ease and was having fun! Playing the guitar is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, and I think Creating Simple Solos is going to bring the fun and enjoyment into my guitar playing. If I won a copy of the course, I would just say, “Wow! Thanks for bringing the excitement back!”
December 9th, 2009 at 9:57 pm
Hi Dan,
my guitar playing sucks and ANY help would so much appreciated. My girrrrrl friend is sick and tired of listening to the rubbish I’m playing so PLEASE help me,
best wishes Brendan
December 9th, 2009 at 9:58 pm
I’ve been trying to improve. Paid for lessons and not understood and picked up the theory.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
I would like to own this course because I am very interested in learning the fundamentals of guitar and especially solo playing. I am a school teacher and learning to develop solos would be great to unwind and relax. This would help my playing by helping me to understand how a player can develop solos and give me the basics for that development.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:15 pm
I would love to own this course becasue I just started playing in a band for the very first time in my life at the age of 40 and am loving it. However my soling needs help and how to develop and put together a solo and this course would take me to that level I’m looking to reach!!
This course would d help my playing by giving me the knowledge of what scale to use, understand the theory of music more so I can solo over a backing track and by giving me the knowledge of how to create a simple solo that will impress!!
December 9th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
1,I would like to learn to plan my solos from start to finish and would really like step-by-step training to help me improve understand on how to do soloing.
2,it will help me to creative in making my own and creative Solos
December 9th, 2009 at 10:28 pm
I’ve been wanning to learn how to play the guitar ever since I was little, but never could find anything (or anyone) to teach me, I’m hopeing that if I win your dvd set that I would finely learn how to play. I think your course would help me becuase you take it step-by-step.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
1 i would like to own a copy because i play lead guitar and i need help in soloing.
2 i think it will help me on how to create my own simple solos
December 9th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
a1/ i woul;d love to win your course, i woul buy all your stuff if ic was financial to do so? i am on a pension & cash is tight.
a2/ io think it would be good for my olaying as everything i have seen on your products are first rate, & i think it would kick start my playing no end.
regards paul.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Hello Dan…
Thank you for offering up such a wonderful contest!
1.> I’d Love to own a copy of this course because almost almost all of my solos read like an open book…they’re boring…predictable. I try to continue learning more scales, and modes, but for me, putting them into action is another story…with the same ending…a similar sounding, boring solo.
2.> I believe that you could really help my playing by putting all of the scales, modes, scale ideas and forms into a concise, usable method…something that I’d be able to use to help distinguish one solo from another by providing different ways to approach each and every solo differently.
Thanks for all of your help so far Dan…you explain everything very well!
Peace…

December 9th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Hi Dan,
1. I believe it would give me the cofidendce needed to go forward with my guitar playing. the instructional method which you use gives the solid impression that you care about what you are teaching.
2. just being able to see how and why some of the things are put together will greatly help me understand the guitar better, and feel more at ease with wanting to improve myself.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:50 pm
FIRSTLY let me say :- My playing has benefited LOADS from your generosity & your ability as a teacher & I thank you.
BUT, My soloing is WEAK & it is this area I need help.
WOW Dan, I’m not really surprised you have this many comments & this sort of response.
You are known well for giving away quality lessons & i’m a grateful recipient & my playing has benefited LOADS from this & I thank you.
Warm regards from this cool place.
Rick.
December 9th, 2009 at 10:52 pm
I’m working through a lead guitar course and learn a solo mechanically by reading the lick, music or tab. So I’m taking care of the right brain! But I don’t know the theory behind the music, nor am I able to “hear” my way into a solo.
I think this course is a great addition to what I am already studying. I believe it will help bring the left brain into the act and get me started on the road to feeling the music so soloing becomes an improvisational exercise instead of a mechanical one.
December 9th, 2009 at 11:04 pm
I have been teaching myself to play guitar for three years now. Until I started using your materials, I had had limited success. I know that access to even more of your teaching materials would only continue to push me to the level I want to achieve. I have also learned that I want very badly to learn how to solo, mainly so that I can play with my friends/co-workers band in our EMS department (while not on 24 or 36-hour shifts). It is one of the ways we have found to positively deal with the stresses of sickness, death and destruction in our lives. Thanks for the opportunities you have provided me over the recent months and I look forward to a future of learning with you.
Merry Christmas and God’s blessings to you and yours!

December 9th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I would like a copy of this free course because I am sure it will get me through the wall that has me playing memorized chords and not adding flavor to my playing.
Adding simple solos with this course will enhance my playing presentation.
Thanks
December 9th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
I always wanted to be able to play lead, but haven’t figured out how to do it properly.
This course would give me an opportunity to achieve my goal.
December 9th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
I know numerous scales and patterns but I can’t always use them properly.
This course will help me with phrasing the notes of the scale to fit the progressions being played in the harmonic structure of the song.
This will also help me to create new and interesting solos therefore making my guitar playing more rewarding and enjoyable.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:03 am
I play bluegrass, blues, country, and gospel. When it comes my turn to solo….I know where to start, but as the solo goes along….I seem to loose where I need to go to make it interesting. I want to be able to play a solo “off the cuff”. I know several flatpicking Winfield Champions and they basically say, “It doesn’t matter what the name of the song is, I can solo on it”. I want to be able to do that.

I would like to be a winner of this course because I am needy in more ways than one…. I really need a jump start on my playing… I just don’t know how to get started… I know the chords a few riffs and runs. But can’t put it all together without sounding like a practice session…. HELP ME HELP MYSELF>>>>>Thanks for the chance…..
December 10th, 2009 at 12:05 am
Greetings Dan:
To answer both of your questions - well I am a 54 y/o who is attempting to learn the guitar, primarily the blues. The truth is I am pretty much a clean slate on how things should fit together musically, and I believe this course couldn’t help but give me a wealth of good solid information.
I “tried” to learn years ago but didn’t have the proper instructor or temperment to learn. Age has taken care of one issue, now all I need is the proper teacher. I feel that this course may be a very important tool in my musical toolbox.
Thanks.

December 10th, 2009 at 12:09 am
I’ll discover how to choose the right scale and how to play leads in the backing tracks
December 10th, 2009 at 12:18 am
1. It would assist me in getting new ideas for solos and easy techniques to improve efficient playing. Saving energy with simple techniques rather than over complicating them while getting the same result!
2. It’s all about technique. Speed is never so important as can everything speeds up with time if the foundation is correctly laid. Accuracy and clever techniques means much more to me!
December 10th, 2009 at 12:32 am
I love free stuff. And of course, if I win I’ll make sure to put the prize to good use.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:36 am
1. Will hopefully jazz up my plain sounding style of playing.
2. Will teach me how to choose which notes go well together.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:44 am
The corse will go a long way to help me play better solos I’m sure. I have trouble with just basic stuff currently.
I have a consentration issue as it is (old war ingury from the A Shaw Vally with the 101st) and need all the help I can get. Thanks so much for the help so far
December 10th, 2009 at 12:47 am
Hi Dan: I have tried at least three other ‘how to’ courses for guitar, and spent a lot of time and money, but rather than progressing, as I expected to do, I just seem to remain at the same level. I’m not really a beginner, probably intermediate. Confusion seems to reign supreme when it comes to scales and other music theory. I would like a course that would eliminate some if not all of this confusion, so I could make some real, measurable progress.
Thanks/Cheers
December 10th, 2009 at 1:06 am
1. It will prove to me that there is a course worth buying!
2. Because of the answer to the first question, I will become a true follower of Dan Denley “No Questions asked”
December 10th, 2009 at 1:08 am
1. Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
I’m always looking for new ideas and I’ve found Dan’s material to provide new, fresh, and great ideas. Dan is a good teacher who knows his stuff.
2. How do you think it would help your playing?
I own Dan’s “Amazing Guitar Secrets” course, and the ideas presented in that DVD course have already improved my playing. I’ve been able to put new ideas to work in my lead guitar solos, as well as some new rhythm guitar ideas. So I know this course will assist me in the same way.
Let the good times rock & roll!
December 10th, 2009 at 1:08 am
1. Cos I will master it too perfection.
2. It will be an addition to my dianoia baby.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:15 am
I’m 48 yrs old and tring to teach myself to play.
Ibeleive your course would be a great boost to my playing esteem. being able to play properly would be very helpfull also.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:17 am
1) You givin something away free? You kiddin right.
2) I am stuck in a rut with guitar playin and could this get me out? You wish.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:23 am
DAN,i am 56 years young .every since i was a teen i have been around music.i always wanted to learn the guitar.my friends just never had the time or patience to teach me .thru time i picked up a few chords here and there.a few mounts ago i received your 2 dvds. guitar guru secrets,and am still taking your lessons on line.i now know what scale is what barr chords are.and soon i plan to actualy say YES I CAN PLAY THE GUITAR.and if i were to win this free course,dan you just dont have an idea how much i would love to jam solos.even if i dont win i will surely buy it. or another one of your courses.they make me feel goooood!!!
AS FAR AS IT HELPING MY PLAYING.MY GOD MAN YOU HAVE ALREADY HELP MY PLAYING THIS COURSE IS GOING TO BE THE ICEING. ON MY GUITAR.THANK YOU…
December 10th, 2009 at 1:28 am
I like your teaching style, AND I like free stuff whenever I can get it, same as everyone else.
Im an old guy 61 self taught just starting in to the lead type playing and could use the help.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:30 am
I am retired and I want to learn to play so I need luck I know this will help me.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:39 am
This course would give direction to my guitar playing. I am poor and cannot afford to buy the course but would love to have it!
December 10th, 2009 at 1:55 am
1. I am 81 years old and I need all the help I can get.
2. Anything would help my playing.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:04 am
Dan, I never win a damned thing,so wont you please put the price on your site so I can order. I need to figure how to pay in South African Rands for goods priced in USD. I’m 66 years old but have decided on my Christmas present to me - just need you price. Kepp up the brilliant work: I follow your releases keenly but being a pensioner and being subject to currenct exchange rates,cant always sfford to buy. But what the hell -It’s Christmas. Have a great festive season all you guys.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:17 am
I have been trying to play lead guitar since 1964. I just can’t get the knack of what it takes to solo free style. If this course can help, then I would be eternally grateful, i’m not getting any younger and i refuse to believe that i am too old to learn.
I think this course could help because i have to admit that i am clueless on how to achieve my goal
December 10th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Dan, I follow your mails all the time and don’t mind them unlike some other guitar course companies that spam me al the time. I realy would like to buy your courses but seeing as I am in South Africa I am not sure that I will actually receive the product. I have had previous experiences where I bought courses but never received them.
If you will be so king to send me this free course then I will be sure to buy more after actually receiving it here in the darkest of Africa.
Thank you keep up the good work
God Bless…
December 10th, 2009 at 2:31 am
Why would be to be able to get a grip on the basics on how to solo over about anything you hear.
And How would it help?
I think it would give me what I have been trying to figure out on my own. Only get me straight on not only what I am doing wrong, but more importantly, how to do it right and move my playing a couple of steps not just one, toward totally understand lead soloing with any music you wish to play with. And when I finish the course I can write a review on its merits and how it will help someone further their soloing if they will really put it to use. I already know you teachings are top notch, I think they just need to hear it from someone who has just finished the course and from another location other than here to validate testimonies here.

I enjoy all your courses, you do a great job, Im sure this course will be no exception. It would be great to have and I know I would get alot from it…

Merry Christmas

December 10th, 2009 at 2:36 am
Dan you are an excellent online guitar teacher. There is no one who can dispute that I am sure. The responses you are getting from everyone say it all. For me to get those videos for free would be the luckiest and most valuable thing to happen to me ever.There is no doubt in my mind that my playing would dramatically improve. Having you at my finger tips whenever I need you would definitely do the trick. But I know I am not that lucky.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:49 am
Hi Dan
I already have one of your courses and currently my musical role is the guitarist who “fills out” the music at church using chords and finger picking, I think this course would boost me into legitimate lead guitar and allow me to do a better job.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:54 am
Hi Dan
merry Christmas
December 10th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Dear Dan, ever since I were a little girl I wanted to play the guitar and piano, but there were never any money for courses or classes or a guitar/piano for that matter. After school I managed to pay for piano lessons and managed to learn the basics of reading sheet music. When I were in my thirties I bought myself a guitar and took a few lessons just to learn the basics. It is still a dream to play the guitar like some of the best but unfortunately money is a problem. This is a golden opportunity for me. I would love to win this course and advance my playing that way. Not only will I be able to hear the music but will also be able to see how every note is suppose to be played. It will be like attending classes. I am a very dedicated person and practice regularly, but you can do only so much with limited knowledge. Please keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Have a great Christmas and festive season. Kind regards. Rochellè
December 10th, 2009 at 2:58 am
Hi, I am from Norway, and i play in a band from 1969 to 1974 and after that I have stopped play may guitar. In 1972 ( I think) we where at one hit list in Manhatten. There is only one of the original group left in the band, And he has arranged some konsert every 10 years, where we from thew old group, has joyned them. But now, i dont think he dare any more.Well 40 yars later , it could be nice to be on stage again, but then i`d have too learn a little bit more too play my guitar. I bougth a gibson Les paul last autum , and i`ve bougt som leasons books, but i need som more . So if yuo could help me , it would have been very nice … Thanks : Roy Paulsen
December 10th, 2009 at 3:07 am
Learn how to find the right scale and do simple solos.
December 10th, 2009 at 3:17 am
Dan I have purchased many of your other Guitar courses.
Lead soloing is the last of the guitar skills that I seem to be struggling with. well maybe Sweep picking, and crazy finger tapping also. But anyway, at my age, AARP card territory, I would like to be able to create desirable ear pleasing, Soulful from the heart Leads. Being an ear playing bass player, My guitar skills have grown incredible leaps with your courses. Once I started to understand music theory, everything I had ever learned was an extreme revelation. Why didn’t I do this 20 years ago. This Course will take the skills you have provided me and create a whole new universe for my creativity.
God Bless
Thanks again

December 10th, 2009 at 3:23 am
well i think it would definately improve my playing ability and my sons as well , as he wants to learn guitar.We could really use somthing like this since we cant afford to go out and buy lessons or take them for that matter , we are just teaching our selves.
December 10th, 2009 at 3:24 am
Like it Dan…
December 10th, 2009 at 3:25 am
I like this one Dan….
December 10th, 2009 at 3:45 am
I think that a lot of people, including myself, can play some chords on guitar. I think that a lot of them, and that also includes me, would like to add a ’simple’ solo to their playing to make their sound a little more interesting. I think that this course could really help to make this happen.
Best wishes,
Rob
December 10th, 2009 at 3:52 am
Hey, Dan,
I’ve admired those players who just seem to know where every note is on the fretboard and just how to put them together in such a way that is pleasing to the ear. I’m pretty much self-taught and I seem to have never climbed much past lower intermediate skill level. I’ve wasted tons of $ on guitar, chord, scales books but have lacked the step-by-step instruction that I need.
I can play several different styles, but I’m having trouble learning how to improvise and play decent solos.
I desire to take my playing to another level!
I could break your heart with all the crap that I’ve had to deal with in life, career, relationships, health, etc. But I just want to learn to play guitar as well as I possibly can.
Lorin
December 10th, 2009 at 4:06 am

Dan - I need to own this course because I can’t solo - I suck! Based on the quality of your other courses and the information you have imparted via video, you clearly know what you’re doing both in terms of playing and in terms of passing your knowledge on in a simple and understandable manner, so I would expect this course to give me the knowledge and confidence to improve my solo work.
Thanks

Hi Dan ! I learned to play guitar by ear. But I realize that it comes a time that this is not enough. I followed your videos until now and I can say that I saw real improvement. So, your course will be a blessing. Hope to win.
Thank you,

Guitars were made for one purpose - to create music.
Music is one of the wonderous pleasures in life.
We guitarists have a duty to learn how to play music to the best of our ability, for whoever is able to hear us playing.
Dan Denley makes that learning process a pleasure and takes you as far as you want to go along the journey to being a real musician. Thank you
December 10th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Hi.
I would just love to learn to play more and better solos.
I think this course would give me that opportunity to do that, because you Dan make people understand what’s it’s all about.

I’m in my 50’s. Been playing guitar since I was 13. My cousin is a great guitarist and got me interested in playing. Although, when he would try and show me something I just couldn’t get it. He was one of those guys that can do something great, but who can’t teach at all. I struggled and did learn on my own some guitar. I was asked to play in a friends cover band about 15 years ago and have been with them ever since. But I can never play lead - I just have never understood it. It’s VERY frustrating, I want to play guitar good, but I don’t see myself as a good guitar player. I’ve never bought one of these online courses but watching you in some of your videos I think you could help me greatly. I can understand your instruction clearly. My wife rides me all the time about taking lessons. But I wouldn’t know who to go to. This seems like the best way for me.
I can play chords and I’m sure your course could teach me lead. I’m getting old and I need to somehow get this lead guitar down before it’s too late. I’m tired of being frustrated - very tired. Thanks.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:19 am
I’ll be happy to receive this cource Sir. I want to developp my technique and It will hepl me to much Dan.
Thanks
December 10th, 2009 at 5:22 am
Dan, your work simply speaks for itself. Everything I own of yours is is simply excellent.
1. Why would I like to own a copy of ” Creating Simple Solos”?, because I am struggling to become a competent Lead Guitarist with my retiree, geriatric, baby-boomer, 60’s band mates as we attempt to put together a reasonable rock/blues band to play to our equally aged flower-power, love-generation mates and their wives (also, for some of their grand-children who really love the 60’s) It is lovely to be asked “What was it like to live through The Beatles?”
2.How do I think your course will help my playing?, because I have the evidence of your other courses. THEY SIMPLY DO WHAT THEY PROMISE,i.e. GIVE YOU CONFIDENCE, MAKE YOU PLAY BETTER, BUT MOST OF ALL MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AS A COMPETENT,DEVELOPING MUSICIAN.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:26 am
Well, first I want to thank you for all the free material you send out all the time.
I also have your blues course and had a two month membership for your online course.
I like the way you teach. It’s so understandable and the way you present it makes it so one can think “hey, I can do this”.
When it comes to soloing I’ve tried some things to learn it, but I never got the whole picture.
One day you play that scale, the next day the other, but it leads nowhere. I always end up just playing some licks by ear for fun. That’s nice for the moment, but the next time I want to jam or play to a certain piece I don’t have a clue what to do, because I don’t have any foundation to improvise on.
Not to mention I don’t have most of the technical skills needed to play a great solo, but that’s another subject.
I don’t think I’m bad with the guitar, it’s just that I believe it is a complex instrument by the design of the fretboard. And it doesn’t help if you have to look for the bits and pieces of music theory out there and put them together with technique and musicality by yourself.
It just overwhelms me and I never know where to start when I’m faced with the all the things I should work on.
I think I need a good starting point to build on and to be less frustrated that way. Your course sounds like it could provide that.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:28 am
I would like to0 own a copy of this course because at 57 years of age I have decided to learn to play the guitar and I am totally dedicated and committed to achieving this goal.
I have found that your sample videos are clear, concise and offer the best form of tuition for me. I like the basic approach to learning and also the fact that Dan takes things slowly which is really important for beginners like me.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:34 am
Your courses help me understand and appreciate music more, and if I had this course I could get even further into learning music theory; I never realized how much there was to music.
Also, learning solos, simple or not, will not only enhance my playing, but help me be more creative with my music.
Thanks Dan.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:55 am
I learning, with Dan courses, Blues Guitar Secrets 2.0, Lead Guitar Secrets and Acoustic Guitar Secrets, and I am doing very well. My first goal is play guitar to fun myself, my family and my firends. Thanks Dan.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:05 am
I think everyone can learn a pentatonic scale. But if he wants to start soloing, then he needs a course like this. Cause Dan Denley explains everything, starting with simple theory and simple practicing solos. When you reach the appropriate level, then you can play the jam tracks and feel like a rock star playing on the stage.
I’m telling these, cause I have already purchased Dan’s LEAD GUITAR SECRETS and I’m fully satisfactioned. That makes me sure that this course, which embeds all Dan’s experience, is a great course!
I hope I’ll get a copy of it, either as a winner or as a buyer. Dan keep up the good work. You have a lot of fans and students out there…
December 10th, 2009 at 6:15 am
I would like an opportunity to own this course if it will explain the techinques of soloing in a simply, easy to follow, logical pattern. You see I am disabled and on medication that makes memorizing things difficult. Trying to remember all the scales, penatonics, and modes has been basically impossible for me these past six years. It seems I just repeat what I have learned before my injury and have been unable to progress further as one should. In fact I forget what day it is a lot of the time.
If this course provides the information I need to solo simple by following basic patterns that go together like a simple childrens puzzle, then this course should greatly reduce the frustration of trying to put things together correctly during jam sessions so I can enjoy the music more as it should be. Flowing nice and easy.
December 10th, 2009 at 6:20 am
Hello Dan!
Keep up that good work you’ll do!! Very nice.Great lesson from a good,inspired guitarist. Play guitar in your hand looks so easy.
/Mikael from Sweden
December 10th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Hi Dan, I thank you for the opportunity you are giving everybody to own a course free.
I am a very slow learner and have a few medical problems so having the course on my person I can take my time and learn day by day or year by year, however and whenever I am able to do some training.
I thank you for the two Guitar Guru Secrets DVD’s that you sent to me.
Again I thank you for your generosity and compassion you show everyone.

December 10th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Hello!
This course is what I need!!
I know chords, scales, and so…
But when having to make a solo, I always do the same. Maybe it’s that I have little imagination, but…
Regards from Pamplona (when the bulls run…)
December 10th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Hi,
Found myself having to carry lead after the previous guitarist left. Most of what we play is in key of C or G and everything I play is now starting to sound the same. I am in an ever deepening rut.
Please help!

December 10th, 2009 at 6:34 am
Hey Dan,
I wouldn’t just “like to own” I “neeeeeeeeed” to own a copy of this course to give me the chance of learning the building blocks for creating the perfect solo every time I perform.

December 10th, 2009 at 6:52 am
I think that course will meke me better guitarist.
Thats why i want it!
December 10th, 2009 at 7:44 am
Dan, I turned 50 this year and I have wanted to play the guitar for a long time. I have attempted learning several times over the years. I would get motivated and dedicate my self to practice regularly (paid to take lessons twice a week for 6 months) but as always got frustrated at my progress and put the guitar down. I never quit because I have a desire to play, I just get frustrated because of my fat figures (even bought a classical guitar once) and lack of progress that I put the Squire Strat guitar down. Maybe one day I get motivated and I get that kick start that all those times I have tried come together and I actually learn how to play the guitar. I am hoping that winning your giveaway will be that kick start. Bill
December 10th, 2009 at 7:50 am
It will challenge me to get better, and save me time by giving me the tools to create solos.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:01 am
I always tell people I’m a rythm guitarist and your course may be what I need to finally step out front. I just need to know how to put everthing together to play killer solo’s.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:29 am
I HOPE YOUR COURSE WILL EXPLANE TO ME WHAT I CAN DO WITH ALL THE SCALES THAT I HAVE LEARND BECAUSE I KNOW THEM BUT DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHIT THEM I ALSO HOPE TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO PUT NOTES TOGETHER AND SO IMPROVE MY GITAARPLAYING GREETS PATRICK
December 10th, 2009 at 8:39 am
Hi Dan
Great idea to give some freebies. I would find it good as its an area most other training courses dont cover
I would gain a whole new skill set and increase my confidance with this new ability.
Keep up the great work.
Simon
December 10th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I’m 70 years old and only started guitar 5 years ago I play and sing at jam nights a couple of nights a week and get good responses (most times) but I am so envious of some of the highly professional guys who play there They’ve offered me tips but not on lead work
My aim is to go in one night and surprise them with a devestating solo You’re the man to make it possible Dan
many thanks for all your help so far
cheers
Mike
December 10th, 2009 at 8:54 am
Hello Dan
For a long time I have tried to learn solos and improvisations of guitar, and only got to have the idea that after you have purchased your travel guitar. Really amazing. I am directed to area of Blues, and all that I can buy or get through their courses or video lessons, I will. Thank you very much.

December 10th, 2009 at 8:55 am
I have difficulty trying to add fills and riffs when jamming with my brother who is content to strictly play rhythm. I’d like to be able to surprise him by breaking out into some creative solos which I know I’ll be able to do once I have access to this great resource. Thanks so much Dan for making this offer at Christmas time. It would make a great gift.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:00 am
Dan,
First, the reason I would love this course is that I have
been playing rhythm guitar for years in a band and have
always wanted to learn how to play solo lead guitar.
Second, I feel this course will help me because I have
taken one of your courses a few years ago and have kept
up with your emails containing a lot of good information
where I learned a lot about guitar playing.
Thanks,
Hal
December 10th, 2009 at 9:01 am
I like your teaching method, I’d like to get this course to improve my soloing technique in an easier way.
I think that this course will help me to play the corect scale every time and to aquire more versatility playing solos
December 10th, 2009 at 9:10 am
Hi Dan
I wuold just like to say thankyou for all the help you have given me with your simple ways of understanding the
guitar chords and other ways to approach them.
All your courses are brilliant and I would love to have this one it makes solos much simpler and therefor more interesting.
regards Ron
December 10th, 2009 at 9:49 am
I cannot afford your course as it available as per US standard. The cost in US dollars converted in Indian rupees is not affordable.
Thanks a lot for your guidance and Offer.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:08 am
Hi Dan,
I’ve been following your e-mails since the beginning of this year. I’ve enjoying all the free lessons that you have sent to my mail box all this while. To me, I see you as the mentor that I’ll always look up to for the very simple fact that you make hard techniques looks oh so simple. I’ve been browsing through your product details and have always been impressed by how much quality materials you’ve put in… not to mention the time you spent to produce such a comprehensive course. Alas, I could not afford to buy your products and have been ever since eagerly waiting for all the free videos that you sent to my emails for me to learn from you.
This is a golden opportunity for me to get one of your comprehensive materials for free and I would not miss it for anything. To me, soloing is the very heart of guitar mastery and having your materials is as close as having you as my personal mentor. If indeed I’m blessed to receive this free gift from you, you can rest assured that your teaching will not go in vain. I’ll train myself tirelessly to master one of the greatest musical instrument ever invented.
Thanks Dan! Looking forward to receive more teachings from you.
Tim
December 10th, 2009 at 11:00 am
1. I have followed you for a couple of years now and I am convinced learning from you is the way to go but I cannot afford it, so this would be fantastic.
2. I am stuck without help.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Dan,
I am fed fighting my guitar instead of making it cry and sing. I think I am getting better then I go for a jam and end up feeling inadequate as some 12 year old guitar god just makes it look so easy!
Well that was until I found your stuff, So be kind and help me get some more musical street cred by being able to play with the gifted youth — frustrated 40 something guitar player!
December 10th, 2009 at 11:20 am
1. I would like to win the soloing course because I already have Amazing, Chords, Acoustic and Blues but my income is down right now due to the economic slump so I won’t be buying it.
2. I think it would help my playing because anything that gives one’s practicing stucture and direction is a good thing. I have a tendency to wander aimlessly sometimes
which can also be beneficial cause I stumble on to some good stuff occasionally but I need to focus more.
December 10th, 2009 at 11:51 am
1. Dan, your Blues Guitar course got me started with just the right blend of theory and “fun stuff,” and I anticipate that the Creating Simple Solos course will be at least as good with even more “fun stuff.” I really enjoy playing with backing tracks, and it looks like this course has a bunch of them.
2. I didn’t start playing guitar until later in life, and it can be a real struggle at times, but it’s always rewarding. Your well thought out and well organized programs are a real help to those of us who were not blessed with the SRV or Dan Denley gene for guitar virtuosity. Keep ‘em coming, and one day I may be able to say that I play the guitar rather than just make noise on it.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
I would like to win this package; 1 because i have never won befor; 2nd i no now my pentonic and major scales and the modes as well; so for winning this will help me put all these skills together and realy make my soloing sound like music,and your courses are great;thank rick
December 10th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Dan,
I have seen your samples you send out and they are great. In fact, your finger exercises have really helped me break through a plateau I was having trouble breaking through. I am 49 years old with 4 kids, and only started three years ago. Your creating solos course could really help me to develop some soloing skills. With four kids it’s hard to get the time to progress as I would like, but I can see your instruction is excellent and could really help me. Especially at Christmas time, and the hard times we are having in Michigan, your course would be AWSOME!
December 10th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
1 YOU HAVE SAVED ME MONEY BY LETTING ME LEARN AT MY OWN PACE INSTEAD A 30 MIN. LESSON I CAN TAKE ALL THE TIME I KNEED TO UNDERSTAND WITH OUT THE PRESSURE OF A TIME LIMIT
2 HAVE BOUGHT YOUR COURSE AND THEY HAVE REALLY IMPROVED MY GUITAR PLAYING YOU MAKE YOUR STUDENTS WANT TO PRACTICE BY TAKING THE HARD TO UNDERSTAND TO EASY TO UNDERSTAND
December 10th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
1. The only thing I’ve ever won before was a double album by Gabor Szabo. Yeah…exactly. And that was 38 years ago. So, winning this would be a refreshing change of luck.
2. My playing has plateau’d. I think I need to simplify, find the core of solos, and rebuild from scratch to come up with new ideas. Hey…can’t hurt, right?
December 10th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
1. I tried buying an “online” guitar course once before but paid a lot for nothing. I should have known when there was little actual content, just a lot of “promises” on their website. The fact you actually share some of your videos prior to offering them for purchase is very nice.
2. I’m trying to get my son interested in guitar playing. As a divorced dad I wanted to find a connection with him. Your video may be just the trick, not too technical for us and definitely not boring.
December 10th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
1 reason number one I am disabled due to a drunk
2 I was a drummer for over 40 years now its guitar or nothing mu back is severly damaged so sitting and playing guitar is good for the mind

December 10th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
I’m a 54 year old guitartist who’s tired of being confused when it comes to playing lead and would love to resolve the issue before I die. You could help send me to grave with a smile on my face.You know there is some bad ass guitarists in heaven.
December 10th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
This course can help me get what i want, this course can show me how to unlock sclae patterns and get out of “the box” to be able to create my own simple solos. I would like to own a copy of this course because i want to play lead almost like a pro.
P.S.: My experience of playing guitar is 2 years.
P.P.S: Great videos!
December 10th, 2009 at 2:21 pm
As I am still on my acoustic guitar secret course, I would like to get the course as an emhancement of what your first course gave me. Furthermore, it would open up possibilities to enjoying a part of the electric guitar world !!!
December 10th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
My actual problem playng soloing is to immeditely understand
wich scale or mode I have to use for a certain tonality and how to combine different scales depending on the chords.
If your course can help me to improve this I wrote above,I will be very happy.
Thanks and best regards
Franco
December 10th, 2009 at 2:49 pm
1. Owning a copy of this course will definitely help me become a better lead guitar player. (I have already learned so much through the website.
2. The course will help me with my solos in every key. I will help me to create solos, not just learn how to play other musicians solos. This course will help me with my improvising techniques, help my solos be more creative.
December 10th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I am a singer on the club / hotel / theatre circuit in the UK and work with backing tracks most of the time, and would love to be able to use my guitar in my shows, but am struggling greatly with mastering the fretboard.
I think this course could be just what is needed to kick me in the rear and get that Strat working instaed of gathering dust
Cheers Mate

December 10th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I have been trying to learn guitar leads and rhythms for quite a while, and I seem to need something to clarify and make sense of my playing so I cant think of anything better than this course to get me on my way.Thanks for giving me the chance to win one.
December 10th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
At 71 my mind is not picking up on the basic principles(remembering chords,Finger placement etc), I am hoping that your course will ease me through these problems.Sincerely Ian
December 10th, 2009 at 5:16 pm
Dan
Ive been playing guitar for many years now, and I feel I am somewhat of an accomplished player, however that doesn’t keep me from trying to continually progress in my playing. The courses I have ordered from you in the past have helped “dig up” a lot of forgotten basics that we sometimes take for granted as musicians. You have a clear and complete way of explaining what you have laid out in your courses, if your a complete newbie or a pro. I’m sure this new course is no different, and Im positive that I would get new ideas on playing solo’s.
December 10th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
I really struggle with the confidence to play solos & I have not found anything that helps me learn how to do this. I would like to own this course because your other course that I have purchased, I have found really helpful, & I expect that this will be no different.
I think it would help me because it would give me some specifics to focus on, so that I could gain confidence.
Thanks. I enjoy your video clips & the fact that you are so real.
Blessings to you & yours this Christmas season
December 10th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Would like to own a copy of this course, because it would
naturally create further interest in guitar among beginning players (including my son & grandsons) just by being able to easily play some cool sounding licks.
This course can help me and a lot of others, because the licks would show a definite pattern link between them and the scales. This basic course would simply open a whole new world of understanding, and creativity to any style of play. Ingenious!
December 10th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
Dear Dan,
I’m 55 years young and I have loved playing and listening to guitar music since I was around 12 years of age.(Cape Breton, Canada) However.. lessons for guitar were outside of our early family budget back in those days. In fact… my first guitar was not great..the strings were so far above the frets that my finger pads were like rock.
Earlier this year… I decided that I wanted to learn to play guitar properly, and to practice more if I could find a place to purchase course work online. I came across your web site out of the many I looked at… and as an educator and scientist I decided that your approach and training are the best I’ve seen and experienced. So.. I purchased both your amazing Guitar Guru Secrets course work (online) and a mailed copy of Lead Guitar Secrets 2.0. Thanks for the free Guitar Guru Secrets DVDs. They’re great for beginners like my young niece and were a great review for me.
You courses are the best for people like myself who have busy schedules. Solo playing is what I do now, so your newest course will add to my skill level.
Have a great day Dan and thanks again for sharing your amazing expertise and homestyle personality.
Best of the Christmas Season and New Year to you and your family!
Cheers,
Michael

December 10th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
I would love to own a copy of your course. I play for our children’s ministry, but can only strum and play simple finger-style accompaniments. I would love to be able to add simple solos for some of our songs (also for pre-service music). Who knows? If my skill develops, maybe I can play along with our college outreach team. Whether I ‘win’ the course or not, thanks for such great products! Merry Christmas.
December 10th, 2009 at 8:16 pm
1. I am allways looking for new ways of learning.
2.I need help learning how to know what scales to play in certain keys as well as my phrasing and overall how to accomplish what i am aiming for when starting a solo so it has some sort of musical meaning other than just a bunch of notes
December 10th, 2009 at 8:45 pm
I’m an 51 year old unempolyed autoworker here in the metro detroit area and I purchased your L.G.S. course and I’ve been having a ball with it but I still need help. If I didn’t have your program I dont’t know what would have kept me sain. I can’t afford to buy anymore programs but if I won it it would help me alot. I’ve been playing just over a year now and I watch all the video’s you email me — THANKS they also help alot.
Happy Holidays

December 10th, 2009 at 8:56 pm
hey dan,
thank you very much for this wonderful offer of giving away 3 copies of this new lesson.
I’d like to win this lesson because I have been a guitar player for ten years now and all i could do was just strumming,I have bought books and other guitar lesson
but still i struggle a lot,and find myself without any improvement.
If given a chance to win, this lesson could be a big help to me,to have an understanding on scales, making and creating solos and good music which i always wanted to learn,and the way i see the samples of your lessons through the internet,I’ve found out that you have done a good job on teaching your students, a very effective one.
Thanks again dan and Merry Christmas.
December 10th, 2009 at 9:25 pm
Hey Dan
why would i like a copy? Because of past experience with you courses. Your courses are well defined, informative and easy to follow with a superb format. You have intrinsic quality in your teaching abilities.
How would it influence my playing abilities? You already have! I’m 53 years old,in the late seventy’s and eighty’s I was in several local bands as a rhythm guitarist. Every guitarists I highly regarded gave me the same advice “Keep practicing your scales” frustrated I sold every musical instrument I owned.
20+ years later I ran across your web site.As I watched and listened to your demos,I found It to be intriguing and at the same time inspiring! Someone who could show me how to put all the scales together in a practical manner I could understand! After some time and thought I ordered Lead Guitar Secrets, I love it” I now Have a PRS-CE, Fender-Showmaster and a vintage Kramer. Once again I’m enjoying playing the Guitar
Thanks Dan
December 10th, 2009 at 10:23 pm
I’ve been playing the guitar for about three and 1/2 months. A college friend encouraged me to follow my dream and buy a guitar. Two teachers gave me one lesson and I knew it was a waste of my time. I’m an adult (thought I look great!) I don’t have many shopping days til Christmas. I started playing in coffee shops locally and in New Orleans about 3 weeks ago. I get compliments from other musicians (my voice is great and my playing is getting better!). My dream is not only to sing with an acoustic in coffee houses, (cause I’m well on my way to that!), but to play lead in a band. Your free videos are my littel secret that has helped me. Your teaching is very valuable, but I sometimes have to watch over and over. Thank you.

December 10th, 2009 at 10:24 pm
I’ve been self teaching myself guitar and music theory for about 7 years and hope that with the help of an expert through your course, I can put it all to use. I lack something and hopefully this is it.
December 10th, 2009 at 10:25 pm
Correction: that’s “little” secret. Okay, I’m a perfectionist too!
December 10th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
I purchased “accoustic guitar secrets” and your Blues courses. Amazing!!! I am making great progress and believe this course will be the icing on the cake. It’s great to sit around the bonfire showing off what you have taught me. I aspire to jam in a band and know that this is the course that could take me over the top but my wife says “more guitar course are not in our budget”. Ha. with this course i know my improvement could change her mind!!!
December 10th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
1. Like all of your courses I know it’s going to be packed with more information than I can digest.
2. I’m sure after studying this course, I’ll be able to give the gift of music to those who will listen without the look of terror on their faces!

1. I would like to own a copy of this course because I’ve enjoyed previous courses and I know how much they help. I’m also getting my son into the guitar and I love learning along side him with the aid of these courses.
2. I think it would help my playing by giving me the tools to understand the theory and techniques I need to either improvise while playing my favorite songs or to create my own solos from start to finish.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:37 am
i would like a copy of this because i am part of a worship band in our church. this would help me take my guitar level to that next step, at this point i am more of the rythm player and would like to play some leads.
i have seen some of your samples and i believe that the simplicity of your teaching will help me to understand how to play lead, especially since i have no music background.
December 11th, 2009 at 12:49 am
I’m not really sure if this course will improve my playing.I’M 59 years old,the problem I have is finishing the leads that I start making up. I believe I may be trying to over think them.So mabey this would help.
December 11th, 2009 at 2:35 am
I would like to own a copy of this course to help cheer me up this Xmas after being laid off.
I think this course would give me plenty to focus on during my free time while I try to find gainful employment.
Merry X-mas to all!!
December 11th, 2009 at 3:02 am
WHOA! Another course! Man I sure could use it for getting my chops back into shape..getting better all the time but with something to actually visualize and play stuff, I think it would have me working harder on playing and give me drive for the PT rehab that will get my hands back to an area where they sould be! Sounds like a great course and it should be a motovator for me anyway !
Music is the thing I can still do so as I said it sure would be a motovator ! Get my lazy butt out of the “rolling chair” and onto the stool again!
December 11th, 2009 at 3:16 am
Why would you like to own a copy of this course?
-I would like to give one of these courses a try, since I’ve never owned one… I want to see if this course could help me develop my solo-writing technique, as i find it hard to create something original and that is not repetitive. I have the speed but lack the scale and note-combination knowledge, which is kind of frustrating because you know you could play good solos, you can actually mimic solos written by other people, but you can’t write a tune of your own.
How do you think it would help your playing?
-Hopefully, it will help me be able to write my own good solos and allow me to forget about guitar pro. I hope it will be a way for me to improvise my own solos for the songs I like, instead of having the need to get the tab of a solo and imitate what the other guitarist wrote.
December 11th, 2009 at 3:24 am
well i am curentley trying to play for a band and the problem i have is playing solos for the chord well since this is a sinhalees country our music is diferent so its very costly to go to a teacher here so i followed i bit of your videos and u teaches very simple and i understand it well. if i had the cash i would gladely pay u for the lessons i lern. anyway i am in sri lanka its a dream if u respond to this comment. pls give me tips time to time so i can work on hard. thank u for the past.
December 11th, 2009 at 5:17 am
1. Because I would get it for free!
2. With you teaching, how could I fail
December 11th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Having a copy of this course will, hopefully, improve my guitar skills and, as important, evaluate and familiarize myself with the other courses offered.
Because I have followed along with the example courses, I believe it will definitely improve my guitar skills.

I have a PR1 guitar blog and am looking for a new guitar tutorial product for my future blog post. Currently my blog’s visitors number per month is 9,000 to 10,000 and I think sending them to your website will mean business for both of us.
To answer your second question, I’m by no means a good guitar player that’s why I purchased some lessons from Will Landrum and Andrew Koblick. Any good product will help me improve my skill
December 11th, 2009 at 6:43 am
1.I want to learn and make a band in our location.
2.Hope this will encourage me to start learning solo composing, and playing.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:42 am
I want to play soring solos from the hart
December 11th, 2009 at 8:45 am
1. Dan, I have a couple of your courses and I think you have a great teaching style- easy to understand and practical! I’m sure this course is every bit as good as your other courses and I would benefit greatly.
2. I have a pretty solid grasp of scales and theory. I need a way to apply this knowledge and to help make it sound like more like music instead of scale patterns.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:48 am
Hi Dan,
1. I kept and followed all your mails, but I didn’t have the possibility of buying any of your courses, although I am very interested to get one, especially one designed for guitar solos.
2. Since I started playing guitar I’ve been trying to understand the secret of good, simple and melodic solo.
Watching your free videos, I understood that I can achieve this from you. It will put an end to my lifelong struggling with guitar solo secrets.
Thank you Dan!
December 11th, 2009 at 9:47 am
1.I would love to own a copy of this course as I have never mastered solo playing.I have taught my son to play (everything I know) but now that he plays as good as me I wish that I could teach him more.We strum and pick together, but his friends who can play lead guitar surpass us both. I am a bit ashamed that I cannot teach him more than rhythm guitar playing and that we both play with chords is like playing with two right hands.I have always hoped to buy a course after seeing your great freebies but since I lost my job I cannot afford them.Someone must put bread on the table and raising kids is expensive enough on it´s own.Christmas´s have been pretty Dickensian as it is these last few years.
2. I have been a songwriter since I first fell in love aged 16, but always played rhythm guitar as I found it easier to sing with.For a decent solo or middle eight I always have to rely on someone else to make the songs sound complete.Not always satisfied with another musicians interpretation of the sentiments I have always wished that I could write the solos myself.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:08 am
I have been playing guitar for many years. I can pick out a song just like someone singing it word for word. I don’t know how to read music. I don’t know much about scales. I’d love to be able to learn to play solos where I can add some pazazz into my songs. I’ve bought a couple of DVD’s in the past that were supposed to really help you learn to play guitar, but all they showed me was how great someone else could play. If this course is one that would truly teach me how to do lead solos, I’d love to have it. I haven’t bought any “Learn to play guitar” videos in a long time because I got tired of buying stuff that doesn’t work. I love to hear great solos, but I’d love to be able to play them too.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:29 am
Hi Dan,
I would like to use this course to learn how to do some “Chickin Pickin!” I recently tore my calf muscle and I am home recuperating and going stir crazy!!! I know some basic scales and I am not crazy about in depth study of theory, and I believe that this course will get me to where I want to be quicker.
I have a couple of your courses (acoustic ones) and I seem to learn easier using your teaching style than other instructors I have used. I think that your way of teaching “how and why” in simplistic terms is the easiest and quickest way to reaching ones goals.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:38 am
Hi Dan
I have a pretty solid grasp of scales
and theory knowledge, and I just like
to learn more a bout solos and getting
better.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:46 am
I am stuck in a rut. I seem to play the same simple solos over and over and over. This course would help me to understand and create more and more interesting solos. This would help my playing by keeping me interested and progressing. Right now I get frustrated and bored playing the same licks so I don’t pick up the guitar as often as I’d like.
December 11th, 2009 at 10:47 am

Good Morning Dan,
I had been a working musician for most of my adult life until I suffered a stroke.The after affects of which have been devastating. I was told initially in the hospital that I would never be able to play a scale let alone music ever again due to the damage done to my brain In addition both my left arm and hand were at the time somewhat non-functioning. Because of my age ( I was 45 at the time)getting into a rehab program was delayed and delayed as the programs were filled usually by seniors who needed the rehab to be able to do basic things like getting dressed and feeding themselves. There was no real functional or occupational therapy program available to me so after looking at all the possibilities my wife and I decided to take some of the money from our income tax refund and buy me an electric guitar so that learning to play and returning to music would be a large part of both my physiological and psychological rehabilitation and recovery. That was several months ago. I really can’t say that I will be Jamming with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck on their upcoming tour but I have made some small progress in teaching myself guitar for which your online lessons have been big help ( Thank you)my left hand doesn’t always get into the correct position in time and barre chords are still a mystery and a challenge ( my left hand cramps very quickly)but I can play the opening bars of Le Grange and Cheap Sunglasses by Z.Z. Top. I have not yet returned to gigging but there is progress towards that both on the guitar and my main instrument ( saxophone).This does mean unfortunately with money tight as I have no income I cannot afford regular lessons let alone any kind of course
I would like town a copy of this course because I think it would be a great aid in my ongoing recovery and rehabilitation.I am looking forward to the day when I can invite the Doctor who told me I would never play again to one of my gigs
I think this course will change my playing from the current hit and miss techniques that I currently enjoy into a coherent musical endeavour which will assist me to return to work as a musician.
I apologize for the length of this response and thank you for reading it
Sincerely,
Paul Z.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:20 am
If I have the music in front of me, I can - with much effort - eventually memorize a song. I’d like to learn a better way to solo. I celebrate my 40th anniversary this summer. My wife loves the early Santana stuff. I’d love to be able to play some of it for her, as she truly is my “Black Magic Woman”.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Good morning Dan , In view of the comments it seems as though your course could be an asset to any one wanting to play guitar. Also the simplicity in past articles i have enjoyed in your e-emails should be a great help to anyone thanks keep on picking George
December 11th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I’m a 57 year old “late bloomer”, having been trying to learn to play for the last couple years.I’ve leared to play some scales (Major, minor, pentatonic ect.), but don’t seem to be able to “put it all together” to make good things come out.. I’m missing something, and hope this will be the answer..
December 11th, 2009 at 11:46 am
Your philosophy is sound. Put the best instruction, coupled with proper motivation, on a tool that is accessible by ANYONE that has a desire to improve their skills. I have used several of your products and they are THE BEST!!! I work full-time and attend school full-time so time is a premium to do the things I enjoy like playing guitar. Having emails and CD’s chalked full of premium instruction and motivating emails that I can view and listen to when I can’t play is truly AWESOME!!! Spice up your practice with different riffs, different styles, different goals. Your material helps to never become bored even when you reach limits in certain areas of your playing. Just change your focus a little and come back to the stuck areas later. It is amazing how progress just happens. I wish I had the money to buy everything you create and could work on learning guitar full-time but sometimes life gets in the way of having fun! Know that your efforts are appreciated as well as your great products.

In England the guys in the guitar shops call is widdlers. We know the scales and try to play solos by playing up and down, usually in triplets so what comes out is widdley, widdley widdley……
Reading the post on Dan’s site there sure are a lot of us widdlers out there but we want to be able to play cool solos not widdley.
For some of us the answer is to play loads and gradually over a period of time we learn how to make it all hang together into a proper solo. But we don’t all have the inate ability of a Clapton or a Page and we don’t have limitless time to experiment and learn by doing.
What we need is a guide, somebody who will explain the elements of how to strucutre a solo. Somebody to tell us how to put together little motifs, what phrasing is and how to change it, dynamics, how to create tension , how to introduce variety in a solo and all of that other good stuff.
We are not looking for a secret magic, just something which will help us take a bit of a short cut and to rapidly learn enough what others before us have already discovered to be able to stop widdleing and start soloing
I hope this is is because in the words of Bono, ” I still have n’t found what I’m looking for”
December 11th, 2009 at 1:25 pm
Hi Dan, yes I would like to win the course, I do get frustrated at my progress. However, after reading Pete Talanca’s entry from 12/09/09,I’ve decided that if I win, please give it to him.

December 11th, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Dan,
My daugther is very intersted in learning to play lead and was getting private lessons for almost a year until we could no longer send her, I am trying to keep her interested by finding her new material from the internet, she enjoys your video’s, however I can see her interest slipping day by day from lack of quaility material. If I can keep her playing I know she would be so pleased and set a good example for her younger sister to begin to play.
December 11th, 2009 at 3:01 pm
Dan, I would love to own a copy of your course because your teaching is great! You are down to earth, thorough, and EASY to follow and understand! Like so many folks the economy has hammered myself and my family. I’ve been out of work for a year and still looking for a job! Depression is a daily dealing! This would be one small victory for me! I could REALLY use it! At present I am just grateful that we are able to continue to make our payments for the internet service we have. This is important because with the internet service I am able to continue receiving your e-mails (210 + to date) and take advantage of all of the freebie instructional videos you give! With your course I will be able to approach soloing with a structured format aimed at introducing students to solos and giving them a firm foundation and a resource for review. This will help me in an area that I have not wanted to approach because I have no idea where to start! Your description hints that your course eliminates all the heavy weight theory that I would like to try and side step for now. In short Dan your course would be an uplifting and inspirational prize that would give me sound instruction and some concrete goals for the advancement of my guitar playing. I hope with all my heart that you choose me as one of the three, and to everyone that will write in, Happy holidays and God bless!

I would like this beacause being a online course taker i have found your courses to be one of the better ones out there I am learning lead guitar and and i do learn more from yours than any of the others i have tried
December 11th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Hi Dan.
It would be like comming in heaven. I just bought a dubro guitar. It would be swell to be a better guitarist playing dobro.
Earlier i bought a course from you, and I learned a lot.
December 11th, 2009 at 4:25 pm
1.) Dan, I’m not goin’ to kiss arse mate, I am 50 years old, love music and have been learning to play guitar for 2 years. Doors are beginning to open for me, I need more tools at my disposal to break down the barriers I have at the moment.
2.) To open doors and move forward I need keys mate. I think this course of yours may well be the ‘Key ‘I need to break down these doors and make progress whilst I a young enough to do so.
December 11th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
1.I am sort of a beginner and need some training and focus
2. A structured program would give me plan.
Thanks I hope I win the course
December 11th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
A few weeks ago, I purchased your Lead Guitar Secrets. So far I am happy. I think you are an honest person ( not like claude johnson ). To learn, I use parts of different methods that I can afford. I am a disabled Nam vet, and I do this because of learning disabilities akin to adhd and dyslexia caused by injuries. I managed to get a degree in engineering, but I havent yet managed to get the guitar down. I grow…. slowly. Nothing breeds success, like success and I think this course is a good idea, the user can get a more immediate reward for efforts thus being much more encouraging to keep studying and making progress.
December 11th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
I’m nearing 50 and back playing after a 25 Year lay off. Thats life earning a living. My son and nephews drew me to play music again. They are better then I am. I am going to rock this place (home) on my 50th birthday in May. I hope I can get some help.
I have 4 guitars so I better play them properly. Hope you can help Dan. I will send more then photos, I would send video. I’m not sure if I’m as deserving as all these young guys but need all the help I can get.
December 11th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
1. Well, on Dec. 15th I turn 40.
2. Last year my instructor passsed away with brain cancer and ever since then it has been hard for me to keep my guitar playing going. I need a boost to get my enthusiasm for playing going again. I have a beautiful Martin that is itching to be played more often. I had bought an Ibanez for a different sound to my playing and lent it to my niece who has become a VERY good self taught artist, thanks to me lending her the guitar. I am not getting any younger and this could be the one thing that could help bring my youth back. Thanks Dan for your time. Play on, Scott
December 12th, 2009 at 12:42 am
1. I’ve been playing guitar for a number of years but only just recently started learning blues . I guess you could say I’m a bit of a loner when it comes to the guitar as I only play by myself for myself — and my couple of dogs act as an audience. So playing “solo” seems to fit with what i do but i would hope if i can develop some more skills like this then i won’t have to remain like this. I can see how solo licks are so essential in the blues and maybe this course of yours will get me into the right groove for it.
2.Although having played for many years I don’t know much about scales , keys etc — some of the basics yes but not how they all play a part in music. Also I don”t have what you might call an “ear” for music –i.e. i can read sheet music –no worries mate — but to listen and then pick up on what key something is being played in — well that’s where i’m like the label ON the bottle — i’m not IN it. So if this solo course is what you say it is then there is a lot of material there that could give me quite a lift so as i can climb a couple of notches on the music ladder.
December 12th, 2009 at 3:31 am
Hi, I have been playing Guitar on & off for about 25 years & I never took lessons. I used books to teach my self & I could not afored lessons with 3 kids around & trying to work & find A decent job. I never learned the scales. mostly by ear. I am still trying though, but on a limited in come. Thanks I though I would try.

December 12th, 2009 at 6:34 am
well i’d sure think it very useful to actually be in posession of a (great) guitar tutor - on a personal basis. since i for instance whip out my bro (guitar) every now and then (time is immaterial) i find i have a long way to go in my journey towards mastery. well yea. so there. thats indeed why i want to own it!
it would assist me a great deal. again, for instance, i’m on the verge of starting up something.. i lack the drummer and only him. i’v got the bassist etc. so yea, point is, i’m a need all i can learn and, as previously stated, i’d love to have it to myself (speaking in terms of posession) and also let it help improv my playing.. because theres always that neverending beconing of perfection that i/we chase; i’d also like to share it with the kids i jam with and teach guitar too. oh the joy of giving! thats right! thats why i’d love to feel that it will absolutely help me!
December 12th, 2009 at 9:19 am
Hi,
I would enjoy picking up a copy I’m a strummer that has started to embellish my songs with a few licks, with the holidays upon us money is a little tight so winning a copy would be like a Christmas gift to me.
I think throwing in a solo or lead run in the middle of a song makes the song alot more interesting to play as well as listen to.
December 12th, 2009 at 10:06 am
1. Am really impressed with the simplicity of your lessons. The few I have recieved by e-mail have really en-
ergized me to get back into the game. Have always been a
rhythm player and have always dreamed of learning to solo.
2. Would like to explain something, I am a “Wobbler”,
I was damaged 4 yrs. ago. I have no inner ear bal-
ance. But worse than that was the cognitive dis-
orders. The mental capacities to function properly.
I’m not crazy!!!!! just that things that were easy
before have been very difficult so I shut down. The
short lessons you have provided have been soooo
theraputic for me my wife has seen the difference.
My memory has sharpened, I can follow your scales
w/o totally forgetting notes.
Whoever receives these gifts will be blessed. Thank
you so much.
December 12th, 2009 at 11:48 am
Knowledge is power. I just started to study the blues. Although I learned the maj and min pentatonic scales in all positions its what you do with them that counts.
I lack something that allows me to flow through the scale positions to create melodic solos without stumbling around and having the solo sound choppy. Perhaps your instruction could be the key that helps me become a more knowledgeable guitar player.
December 12th, 2009 at 11:49 am
1. I’d like to own a copy of this course because I would have the complete ‘physical’ package of the dvds, cd and book that I could use anytime, without having to go into the Internet. Also I like Dan’s relaxed and friendly way of teaching, so I wouldn’t get tired of watching him!
2. I think it would help my playing, because I’ve been a bit scared of getting into the world of soloing. This seems like a good course as it doesn’t look to complicated, having simple backing tracks to play along and a book to explain the theory.
December 12th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Slash was my childhood hero, which makes playing
just chords boring, so i do tend to focus more
on licks, fill`ins and solos. I see licks as a
spice to make songs more interesting to play
and listen too.
I do make a little bit music myself, but where
i struggle the most is the times where a lick
or solo starts i my head, and i cant seem to
transfer it to my guitar. I do think this
course could really help me in that area.
Thanks for the opertunity Dan.
Om shanti.
December 12th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
i would love to in this. i am learning to play, but my boy has had more time to practice and is alot better than i am. i’m not made of money so he has had to learn from videos on youtube. they are poor quality and often either play the songs wrong or transpose without tellin us.
thank you for making great offers like this 1
December 12th, 2009 at 5:14 pm
This course would give me another valuable tool in my guitar solo toolbox.
I have two courses from Dan and I think this one would give me more hours of enjoyment.
December 12th, 2009 at 6:47 pm
This course would be the fulfillment of my quest. (Atleast I hope so!)I play for my church and it is really the only place I play other than for my own enjoyment. I play with a keyboard and drummer and occaissonaly a bass player and bongo player. I usually just fill in with chords and rhythm but I would love to do more. I don’t have a good set schedule so having formal lessons would be almost impossible for me. This course could be the answer I am looking for. I can’t find many tabs or music for the gospel and worship songs we do, so I have to “wing it” Winging it is ok, but I would love to know what I should be doing and when. The Creating Simple Solos Course is the answer to my prayers!
December 13th, 2009 at 2:10 am
I can create solos but often get confused as i’m using the right scales or chosing the right notes that perfectly fit with the progression.The course can help me to create solos more efficiently.
December 13th, 2009 at 8:11 am
I live in a place where music isnt appreciated so I will love to have copy of this course because I think it will make me learn solo within few months with assurance that I am following right exercises and theory as while a year back when i was learning chords and strumming i lost great time of doing things wrong. I never was able to find anyone to teach me.
It will definently help me to be more creative create my own solos and lick without looking at videos of others and wondering how they can create such a solo why cant I be as creative as they are.
December 13th, 2009 at 11:21 am
Wow dan.
with soo many of us wanting the course so much i guess u will have to let the raffle decide eh..?? simple and plain man
1. i want this course cause i love guitaring. why wouldnt anyone not want your package. its actually a really great deal. I am a student who loves composing music through guitar. But my parents not so interested to spend any cash on any of my interests except studies. Cant blame them.They pretty old now.
2. On the other hand I sit with my friends whenever i get time to learn as much as possible about guitaring CAUSE I LOVE TO COMPOSE.Learning guitar for 3 years now. Dan you really know how to teach man. IF I COULD OWN YOUR COURSE THEN I CAN SPEND MY OWN TIME ON IT IMPROVING MYSELF.
thank u

My wife and i just retired from our local school district after 30 years. We brought and are just learning the bass guitar. As we can’t afford private lessons, and are teaching our selfs to play with free and video lessons. We would love the copy of you course, from some one of your fame. It would really go a long way in helping us to learn and build a good foundation in our guitar playing. It is our dream to play for our family, at our family reunion in july 2010. it would be GREAT Thank You

Hey Mr. Dan Denley!
Why wouldn’t I like to own a copy of this course?! It was the first course mailing list I subscribed and it’s the only one I still receive emails from. Where I live in Portugal it’s not easy to get to know guys who know as much as you or that are willing to share the knowledge the way you do it! God bless you brother!
Are there any doubts about your success on transmitting your points of view to the people?! Precious info, detailed explanations, nice jam tracks, beautiful drop top guitar videos lol is there any chance of you reading this anyway?! Well, if there is I just added you to facebook lol man you rock! So much! Thanks for everything! You changed the way I used to look at my guitar or should I say my old few-chords-only-guitar. Big hug!
December 13th, 2009 at 3:23 pm
Dan!
All I do seems to be sounding like scales. I really NEED a course like yours to move on. I´ve been following your newsletters for a while, and there is no question about the quality! I live in Norway, and I have to rely on the net to get quality teaching/coaching. Hope I win!
December 13th, 2009 at 4:19 pm
I am always running out of ideas. I would like to learn how to build solos.
I would also like to learn how to go outside
December 13th, 2009 at 6:57 pm
I’m very interesting in soloing ,I would like to own the copie of this course, to allow me improve myself.
I’m just a new beginner and would like to combine solo and accompagniement. In fact I need olso som accompagniement exercices to allow me improve solo.
I need your suggestions in the way I think Its can make me better in soloing.

i have been playing the guitar for quite some years now on and started on my own self-teaching method of using the basics & my own ears & watchig how others do things ! somehow I had progressed without any formal training since living in a third world country sometimes makes it impractical due to cost of living problems. Anyway I am into composing & arranging my own songs now trying hard at least & made a few songs & arrangements not professionally of course, just because of my love for music. I think your course will greatly help me on my arrangements to make them more to sound more interesting. I am a little fanmiliar of your methods of teaching already & I find it quite effective. My guitar playing is now in a rut coz I’munable to find directions now on how to improve further & progress more. I think you know I mean by it so I do hope to win one of your courses! More power to you Dan !!!

Hey Dan,
1. I have not been playing that long, but I like to think that I have the “mechanics” down pretty good. The problem is that I have managed to confuse myself when it comes to trying to play lead - which scale/mode etc.
2. Watching an expert and hearing them explain stuff can be both daunting and frustrating - that is definitely not the case with yourself. Some, if not most “experts” can’t teach - you are clearly talented in both departments!
Regards
Roy

(1) As the gift is made of a set of DVDs with hours of step-by-step video instruction, some pages tab book and some full-band jam tracks, these elements make the learning method easier, direct and quicker. It could help me improve my knowledge on scales and music theory, understand the theory of soloing and offer me more insight into playing better.
(2) I can improve the better way to plan my solo, to master the fret board, to choose the right scale and much more. Thanks

Hi Dan
I have purchased 3 of your guitar courses (Amazing Guitar Secrets, Accoustic Guitar Secrets and Lead Guitar Secrets). Each course has helped me take the next step as a guitarist and they have been more than helpful in getting me to where I am now in my playing. The lead guitar secrets seems to be one step to far for me at the moment and I believe that this new course will be the perfect stepping stone to be able to get into Lead Guitar Secrets. I have real ambitions of gigging one day and I know that this road is a long one filled with hours of dedication and practice. Please help me on this path with your new course.

i believe the course would contain all the right material that could assist me improve in my guitar playing.
the course has some secrets that when well understood and applied appropriately, it will help me improve in my skills

I’ve been a happy amature for 30+ years and feel that it’s time to master the skills of the guitar!
Im looking for a book with good techical descriptions and easy to learn from, and this one seems to hit the spot!
December 14th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
I’ve been playing gutar for around 23 years, but I still have many holes in my playing knowledge, especially when it comes to solos. I’m pretty solid on my rhythm chops, but I still cannot seem to build a decent sounding solo even after all of these years of playing. I don’t seem to be able to put the right notes together in the right sequence with the right phrasing. I’m looking for assistance on this matter, and it sounds like your course might be the answer I’ve been searching for.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
1. I have been struggling to learn to play solos for some time now. I have had great success with other courses of yours and so I feel this may be the break I’ve been waiting for.
2. This course covers the topics that I have been looking to learn. I would definitely benefit from the material covered.
December 14th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
1. I’ve been consolidating my playing using your Amazing Guitar Secrets course and I’m good playing the rhythm parts but I want to take my playing to the next level.
2. I’m not sure where to start and I think your course would really help me move from Guitar Player to Guitar Hero.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:15 pm
I have been playing guitar for almost a year and Ive bought two of your products amazing guitar secrets and blues guitar secrets 2.0. I am starting to get my rythem playing down but I would like to learn more about soloing.
I know all of my major scales well but I think this course would help with understanding and the use of the other scales.
December 14th, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I bought your Amazing Guitar Secrets course and have been thouroughly impressed. I am an average guitar player and have primarily used this course as a resource to help teach my daughter how to play. I have no soloing skills. We use the instrument as basic accompaniment to our singing. I would love to be able to give this course as a present to my daughter (14yrs) and begin learning with her. I have been away from my daughter for 3 months due to the illness of my mother. I am returning home at the first of the year and would love to be able to have this course as a backdrop for reconnecting and sharing time together. We have already had many memorable moments working through Amazing Guitar Secrets.
It sounds as if the content would meet us right where we need it to: at the very beginning. We have nowhere to go but up! Learning to solo would open up an entire new melodic world for both of us in composition and accompaniment.

People say i am a pretty good guitar player ( your amazing Guitar Secrets course had something to do with that I’m sure). However, I am an incomplete player. Nothing is more frustrating then to be in the middle of playing a great song, blazing away with some hot rhythm chops, then here comes the solo part… you know it’s coming (worse, your audience knows it’s coming), and then you have to skip the solo and move right to the outro. Bummer! I want to learn how to SOLO!
Dan, I love your laid back, everyday kinda-guy approach. You make learning core guitar techniques easy to learn and I’m confident that I could finally overcome this dreaded gap in my playing with your new Creating Simple Solos course.
December 14th, 2009 at 6:04 pm
never won anything why should yours be different
December 14th, 2009 at 7:03 pm
I have read quite a few of your followers response’s, WOW
I’m handicaped and I feel like sending some of these people money. I know there’s no way I’m going to win your free course, mostly just wanted to say thanks for the course’s Ive purchased from you and thanks again to Linda for getting me back on track with your online lessons when I screwed up and used wrong ID/PW, you guys were right on it and squared me away, Thanks.
Someone will enjoy your new course I’m sure. Keep rockin, thanks for everything.

Dan, I’ll use it to IMPRESS GIRLS at house parties!! I just started guitar a few months ago, and these solos are so easy but really impressive and it seems like ive been playing for years….. the course is definately gonna help my love life!!
December 14th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
I have some of your courses and they are quite good. It will be interesting to see your approach to teaching beginning lead.
Who knows…It might make my playing better…It wouldn’t take much.
December 14th, 2009 at 10:30 pm
Hi Dan,
I already bought your course blues guitar secrets 2.0. I am a new guitarist and I have great pleasure playing the guitar. The reasons why I would like to win the contest are because I like your methods and because I would like to improve my solo. Thanks in advance if you choose me, if not congratulation to the winner, a really lucky guy because you are a generous man.

Hi Dan,
I would love this course as I have been picking up my guitar now and then over the last couple of years but not getting very far other than basic chords as it’s hard to get a structured practice routine getting bits and pieces from various sources. I have 5 kids and would like to encourage them to play musical instruments especially my eldest daughter who has cerebral palsy which affects her legs. This course sounds ideal as with limited time and money I really need a structured step by step approach to make best use of that practice time. Having seen some of your video clips I’m sure it’s exactly what I need. Being able to put together some leads would revitalise my interest in the guitar as I wouldn’t know where to start otherwise and hopefully help me inspire my kids too.
Best wishes,
Darren.

I am a Pastor of a small Bapsits Church and we are trying to put together a Praise Band. I have been playing guitar for some time but have always wanted to be able to play lead. I believe that this course would help me to do that and in turn make it possible to enhance our worship and use the new found ability for a much greater purpose.
December 15th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
I am one of the older people learning guitar for the first time. I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to solo, except for my cats. They are my worst critics. I would enjoy playing the best I am able to and to understand music theory better. I hope whomever wins enjoys this great set of lessons for christmas and has a very good holiday season.
December 17th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
Hello Dan,
First, I want to thank you for presenting the opportunity to win your new course. I think there are a lot of guitarists out there who, considering the global recession that is affecting so many of us, feel frustrated and isolated from the rest of the guitar community and this is a chance for some holiday cheer. Even those who don’t win should get a kick out of just entering.
I am a 16 year old living in Texas. I play and sing with my brother, who is a dedicated bassist, and we hope to begin doing gigs next year when he hits high school. We are both self taught.
Anyway, I have learned many scales and riffs, but I feel I have hit a plateau in stringing the notes together and I end up putting the same patterns in my improvisations over and over. I think this course would help me break out of the box patterns and create music! Additionally, I want to learn to play a little faster, yet still melodically and I think this course could also help me achieve that goal. You would not believe how hard it is for me to sift through all the junk on the Internet to find what I need!
Whether it’s music theory, lead guitar, or creating melodic solos, I really think your course is just the ticket.
Thanks for all your hard work to bring these course out.

I’m a recently retired disabled law enforcement officer post 9/11. I began playing guitar while in grade school and did so thoughout my high school and part of my collegiate years. I played for personal satisfaction and with a band. I had to put my love of the guitar aside for more than 25 years due to my demanding career here in New York city. I discovered Dan’s courses while scouring the internet for at home guitar instruction. After all these years I’ve lost quite a bit of my proficiency and my reading skills leave much to be desired. I wanted to re-establish myself with my love of the guitar. I purchased Dan’s courses, “Amazing Guitar Secrets, Lead guitar Secrets, Blues Guitar Secrets, Acoustic Guitar Secrets and the Theory Course.” All of these courses jump started my playing and are extremely well written! Dan’s courses not only provided a “refresher course” but has enhanced my playing ability far more than I could’ve imagined! There’s no doubt Dan’s a talented musician and a gifted teacher, I am living proof of this. Dan’s newest course, “Creating Simple Solo’s,” would undoubtedly enrich my playing skills further and allow me to share my gift of music with others. When I am physically able I visit my area’s hospice, nursing homes and childrens ward. I do offer basic guitar lessons free of charge to children, adults and seniors who could not afford to pay for lessons. I’m simply sharing the gift of music with others. Dan’s “Creating Simple Solos,” will be a wonderful gift that would enable me to further share in the joy and knowledge of music to brighten the lives of others. Merry Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year to all!

Creating simple solos would be the greatest thing ever in my life! I really need help in developing and planning solos. Dan’s instruction has been so helpful in the past, I know this course is the best available out there!
February 4th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
1- gostaria de receber esse curso, pois nada que tentei até hoje me ajudou de forma significativa, o que tem se tornado frustrante pra mim.
2 - Tenho certeza que esse curso me ajudaria em blues, pois tudo o que consegui tocar está baseadp nas video aulas do Dan, que je vem com os apoios necessarios, ou seja, os backings, as tabs, etc.
O que parece impossivel, com as aulas do Dan torna-se muito simples de executar. obrigado.
