The Lazy Way takes the effort out of being a slick guitarist with a simple way of practising that will change your guitar playing habits for good.
A Lazy Guitarist is someone who…
- Wants to improve but doesn’t have the time to practice for hours on end.
- Is bored of sifting through an endless supply of tutorials, courses and study materials.
- Isn’t all ego - repeat after me, progress not perfection, this is not a competition!

What guitarists say...
If you are stuck in a rut look no further!
I’d stopped practising altogether, but this was a fantastic way to re-engage, and the lessons challenged me at the right level to keep me interested and improve my playing.
The Lazy Way solves those problems as it's structured in such a way that you can plan ahead of time and when you do sit down to practice you don't waste time playing things that don't help you improve.
It’s also a great add-on to my other guitar practices and exercises. Breaking down the exercises in bite-sized form helps me to stay motivated on the course and not get overwhelmed. I highly recommend this to any aspiring intermediate players!!
