Tired of winging it every time you pick up your guitar?

With easy-to-follow exercises and clear practice routines, you’ll always know what to work on—whether you’ve got 10 minutes or time to go all in. The best part? It’s so simple, even your nanna could pick it up and start jamming!
“I keep playing the same stuff.”
“I’m not getting better as quickly as I’d like, and it’s frustrating!”
“One minute I’m searching ‘easy guitar riffs’… 10 videos later, I’m fully invested in a cat’s dramatic performance in a spinning wall fan competition. What just happened?” 🙊
Any of that sound familiar? I feel you. It’s super common to hit that “stuck” stage, where motivation dips and you’re not sure what to play.
You’re not alone. As a pro guitarist and teacher of many years, I’ve helped countless guitarists who loved playing but felt like they were spinning their wheels.
The right routine changes everything—and this book gives you plenty to choose from. These are the exact types of exercises that helped me, Tiff, grow into a session guitarist working all over the world with artists from Lady Gaga to Craig David.
