Are you tired of doing search after search looking for something to play at your current level, only to find yourself frustrated and giving up?

Or are you a beginner and stuck in that "information overload" place not knowing where to start?

Hi, my name is Teague Purtell and first up I want to thank you for taking the time to consider becoming a member.  I started Musiclearning.Com in 1999 as a way to provide support for the students I saw in person each week.  Since then it has become a complete step by step guitar method designed to have lots of fun while providing direction and focus to get results! 

Inside you will have lots of fun playing riffs and songs that were carefully chosen and arranged in a way to make learning easy.  Each song and riff is part of a lesson that contains a section on theory, scales, arpeggios, chords, strumming/rhythm, and improvising. And each lesson is part of a complete step by step method designed to get you on the right path for a lifetime of fun and growth on the instrument.   Every lesson reinforces and expands on the previous lesson to give you the skills needed to play anything you have ever wanted to play.

I am sooo excited!  This is great to get such personal attention.  What a great attribute to your site...... and even though I don't recognize the Metallica song from lesson 1, I do enjoy hearing myself play something other than "horrible sounds".

Learn Lots of Cool Songs and Riffs

Not Sure What Song to Play at Your Current Level?

The songs and riffs were chosen and arranged in an order to make learning fun and easy. Between the material in the main lessons, the beat by beat breakdowns and play along audio and video files,  you will gain all the necessary skills to play anything and play it well.

No More "Why Doesn't This Sound Right"

The beat by beat breakdown will solve this.   More often then not,  if you are playing the right notes but it still doesn't sound right, timing is the issue and nothing will solve that more than breaking parts down beat by beat.

It is one of the most important practice techniques to learn songs and riffs properly and make the most of your practice time.  Breaking things down will allow you to absorb the material in a way that is just not possible with any other practice method.

I can tell you from my own personal experience having learned well over a thousand songs for various gigs, it is the single most important thing you can do to learn parts well and fast.

Teague has such a great appreciation and undertanding of many different types of music. This is in my opinion one of the most important aspects of teaching, because there are so many different styles of musicians waiting to be taught. Teague has taught me alot. He has inspired me (I don't know if he knows it or not) to someday be a music teacher myself. Music is the greatest thing in my life and I hope that someday I can pass that on to someone else.

Mike Ledinsky

Students quite often think that breaking things down into small sections (beat by beat) will take much longer to learn but it is actually the opposite.

The truth is when you break things down, you are able to pick up the parts quicker and play them properly.  This creates momentum and positive feelings about practicing.  The positive feelings lead to better practice.  I think most will agree we learn and retain information when we feel good about what we are doing.

The Beat by Beat Breakdown helps with:

  • Muscle Memory
  • Training Your Ear
  • Sharpening your Ability to Focus
  • Makes it Easier to Learn
  • Makes Learning Faster
  • Get Results and Create Momentum
  • Learn Well

Your Instructor (Me)

Well, my name is Teague and I have been a professional musician for 25 years.  In that time I have done a lot of things from guitar in a Metallica tribute band to cello in the CSU orchestra 🙂

I studied music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Humber College in Toronto and Cleveland State University in Cleveland.  I studied guitar performance, composition and music education.  I minored in piano and paid for a good part of my education on a cello scholarship.

I have toured across North America and played 1000's of shows since I started playing.  From jazz to metal, classical to pop, I have played every style of music.

I have taught almost as long as I have played.  I was even teaching beginner students when I was in High School with only a few years of playing experience myself.  I started Musiclearning.Com in 1999 as a way to help students that I saw in person each week with material they could reference at home between lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: "I am a complete beginner, will this site work for me?"

Yes. The site starts from scratch with learning your strings and how to hold a pick and moves quickly to playing songs and soloing like a pro 🙂

Q: "I have played for years, will this site help me?"

I have made lessons on the site for every level including lessons I put up to help myself with things I am currently working on. If you feel the site does not have enough information for you, I will gladly refund your money and no questions asked.

Q: "With so many free lessons online, why would I pay for lessons?"

It is true there are plenty of free guitar lessons online and some are very good, however if you really want to see progress, you need more than just random lessons.   You need a method that provides direction and focus to get results you will feel great about.  Results that will make you want to pick up your guitar every day, log in and learn more! The members section is a complete online method designed to take you step by step to make you a great guitar player and reach your guitar goals.

 

Q: "Are there any tabs on the site?"

No, there are no tabs, however with the lessons designed as they are, you will not need to read music.  The reason there are no tabs is because when I play the 5th fret of my D string I want to know that is a G. Not just the 5th fret of my D string.

Q: "Do I need to have a PayPal account?"

No. You will go through the PayPal page but you can use your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover or E-Check.
