Hi, I'm Nathan Mills.

A professional guitarist with a master's degree in classical guitar performance, founder of BeyondTheGuitar.com and its YouTube channel of over 500,000 subscribers, AND...

... I do not practice my scales!

(I know... blasphemy, right?)

... and yet all their drills sound like the musical equivalent of fingernails on a chalkboard and somehow each exercise turns out to be more boring than the last 😬

I figured out early on that,

In most cases, you can master all of the same techniques that these drills target - by simply turning sections of actual music into exercises themselves

🐌 Your progress is slow because you're bouncing from drill to drill, but never following through and committing to something for the long term

You'll see far better results by practicing a few beautiful pieces of music that target specific techniques, because you'll actually enjoy playing them - which motivates you to stick with it and practice them every day!

⏰ You're busy. So why on earth would you want to spend your limited practice time playing things you don't enjoy??

You don't have to choose between developing your technique or playing music you love. You can do both at the same time and enjoy every moment of your practice time!

With this method, you only need 2 things to become an excellent fingerstyle player:

1. The right music

You need to find pieces of music that specifically target and use the techniques you're trying to develop.

Trying to improve your scales? Practice a piece with a scale passage in it. Trying to play faster arpeggios? Practice a song that uses lots of arpeggios.

Seems obvious, but the catch here is that the music has to use the techniques in a way that's straightforward and simple enough to allow you to focus entirely on the technique itself without being bogged down and distracted by everything else going on in the music.

2. Clear direction

In order to see the greatest and most efficient progress in your playing, you need clear direction on HOW to practice these techniques.

Blind repetition doesn't cut it.

You need to have a deep understanding of each technique so you know exactly what you're doing wrong and have a clear path to follow in your practice to master each technique.

So you're probably wondering:

• What pieces or songs should I start playing that target the techniques I need?

• What techniques should I even be focusing on in the first place to improve my fingerstyle playing?

• Where do I go to get clear guidance on how to properly play and improve each of these techniques?

Let me help you with that.

Introducing...

Throughout our 90-Day Fingerstyle Journey together...

Each lesson will introduce a new technique and a new beautiful piece of music for you to practice that week to master that technique.

We start simple, and as the weeks progress and as your skill improves through the program - the music and techniques become increasingly advanced so that at the end of the 90 days, 

You'll be equipped with everything you need to play your favorite fingerstyle or classical guitar music!

So how much does Fingerstyle Journey cost?

The value, content, and direct access to your teacher you're getting with this 13-week program is comparable to a semester-long music course at a university, which I’ve paid over $1,000 each for. 

Studying with me 1-on-1 via private lessons costs $100 an hour. So with the 13 weekly lessons in this program, it would cost you over $1,300 to learn all the material in this course from me privately!

But I want to make this knowledge as easily accessible and affordable as possible for any guitarist out there who wants to be able to play their favorite fingerstyle or classical guitar pieces beautifully…

Don't forget: it's completely risk free

Literal years of teaching and planning went into the creation of the curriculum I teach here in Fingerstyle Journey - and I have absolute confidence that this course will transform your playing. I've seen it happen for hundreds of students already!

BUT - I want you to feel confident about this, and to give you the chance to experience this course and transformation for yourself with zero risk. So, I'm doing something a little crazy... To make this a no-brainer deal for you - I'm giving you a 60-day 100% money-back guarantee with your purchase of Fingerstyle Journey today.

That's right: Work through the course at your own pace, check out the bonuses, jump into the community, download and enjoy playing the 13 beautiful pieces of music I composed for this course, put in the work - and if you don't love it in the first 60 days of your purchase, send me an email and I'll refund you immediately.

No questions asked, no hard feelings.

If Fingerstyle Journey doesn't work for you, I'd much prefer for you to take your money and invest it in another one of my programs or elsewhere where you will be happier and get results. I just want you to be able to play music you love, and to be able to play it beautifully!

Now, if you sign up for Fingerstyle Journey today - you'll receive some exclusive bonuses...

 BONUS #1: "Play With Heart" - A Masterclass In Emotional Guitar Technique

All the technique in the world is useless if you don't know how to play the guitar with heart - to convey real emotion in your playing, emotion that moves you and your audience to feel something meaningful from your performance.

Throughout the 4 modules of this bonus course, you'll learn:

• How to manipulate your dynamics with crescendos, decrescendos, and sharp contrast to make your performances more emotionally intense
• How and when to slow down or speed up or add a subtle ebb and flow to your rhythm with "rubato" to stop sounding like a robot and breath life into your playing
• How to actively listen to your favorite guitarists to discover new ways to apply these emotional techniques in your own playing
• 14 fun and beautiful exercises to practice and experiment with expressing these emotional techniques in a real musical context

You can get the basic version of Fingerstyle Journey for just one payment of $147

Imagine 90 days from now...

You could choose to miss out on this opportunity and continue to attempt to improve your fingerstyle technique on your own...

You're still aimlessly bouncing around from YouTube video to YouTube video, a random drill here, a dead-end exercise there, from one song to another - without a plan and never committing to anything.

You haven't learned a single new song from start-to-finish because something always causes you to get stuck...

A bar chord that keeps buzzing no matter how hard you squeeze... A big stretchy chord you can't reach... A blazing arpeggio your fingers just can't keep up with...

And then the cycle starts over... Back to YouTube. Back to more exercises and guitar gurus making empty promises. And little by little your enthusiasm to practice dwindles to nothing as your progress slows to a halt.

Or...

You could choose to join me on this Fingerstyle Journey today and have 13 beautiful pieces in your repertoire! 

Your practice is fun and rewarding again because, not only are these pieces beautiful and fun to play - but they're helping you see unprecedented progress in your playing and with these techniques you've been struggling with for so long.

Bar chords are no longer painful... You're reaching chords that felt impossible 90 days ago... Your plucking hand blazes through quick arpeggios with ease and precision...

You have a clear path forward to grow into the guitarist you've dreamed of - with the guidance of a teacher and the support of a community of like-minded guitarists.

Join Fingerstyle Journey today, and let me help you make the most of your precious and limited practice time and, most importantly, help you enjoy every second of it!
