Compose a Piece in 1 Week
Your piece will be professionally recorded and published. Suited for all levels.
Imagine picking up your guitar and playing something you composed.
No one else on the planet, or in the history of the world has ever played those same notes in that way before.
Picture how would it feel to play your own piece...
Have you always wanted to compose, but just couldn't figure it all out?
• You have no idea where to start, so you don't even try starting
• You start writing something and then it just goes astray
• You complete something but it doesn't float your boat
Composing doesn't have to be scary
I've developed a process that makes it easy and simple:
Using a process is like following a recipe.
By the end of it, you have created a unique and stunning piece that is 100% yours.
You could enjoy playing through it on your own, marveling at the sounds specially organized by you. Or you could play it for your friends and watch their amazed reaction after they hear who composed the piece!

FAQs
I've never composed before, will I be able to go through this course successfully?
Yes, that's the purpose of this course - to give you solid skills in writing music by model composition. Because you're modeling something composed by a master/expert, you'll be able to compose something even if you've never tried writing music before.
I'm a beginner guitarist, will that affect how I compose something?
The level of your playing will have an affect on what you compose, as it's assumed that you'll be playing the piece you write. This is actually a great way to learn about the basic rudiments of music, because you're putting them all into practice.
Simply put, a beginner student will write something shorter and less complex than a more advanced one.
What if I don't manage to compose something in 1 week?
The composing method used here is designed for composing quickly. Following a clear plan helps you compose quickly, but everyone is different. It might take you 1 month, or it might take 1 day! Just understand that the course will enable you to compose faster than you probably ever thought possible.
