START FRESH, MAINTAIN, EXECUTE, OVERCOME MASTER MECHANICS & GUITAR NAVIGATION REACH YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AT THE START! If you're tired of relying on ineffective YouTube Videos, Mini-Courses, and "Free Tabs" and if you're ready to re-shape your approach to the guitar in an explosively positive way... Welcome🤘🏾😎🎸 YES, I'M READY NOW! $147 ONE-TIME INVESTMENT or Read More Below HOW HAS SKIMMING OVER THE FUNDAMENTALS CUT YOU OFF FROM ACHIEVING HIGH LEVEL PLAYING & ULTIMATELY DISCOURAGING YOU FROM THE WORK ? YOU'RE MORE CAPABLE THAN YOU KNOW... Admit it. You relied on your talent . It's that simple. This happens for so many reasons but always remember that work always trumps talent. ​ And here's why... ​ Every skill requires a path to its full potential . I don't care if it's plate spinning, the person that spends the most time on the most basic concepts learns the deepest lessons. It's fuel to the fire. Face it, when times got tough and you realized you weren't the hottest shit guitar player in the end you got discouraged. We all go through this frustrating period at times but if you want a greater reason to keep going then get more skin in the game . Go further. There's no higher price/reward that pays than discipline and that starts with going back and finishing the job with mastering your fundamental movements, theory, navigation and overall knowledge of the guitar. IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME... My name is Al Joseph, founder of the ShredFest Academy where I help guitarist in need of serious change in their playing and my goal is to bring the power of progress straight to you. ​ I've been featured along-side the worlds most prolific guitarist such as Andy James, Marco Sfogli, and Guthrie Govan and respected by the world's most iconic guitar virtuosos known to man. ​ But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because in my 15+ years of coaching I've noticed the need out there where guitarists are feeling more discouraged and left out than ever. ​ Well, I'm here to help you keep the fun in shred and show you how to see progress everyday through helping you develop a solid method, routine, and strategy. THE LEVEL UP IS POSSIBLE! Stop letting what your family, friends & peers tell you how to think about your direction with guitar. Look, I went through it myself. I was questioned all my life about my pursuit of perfection concerning the guitar. ​ If you want gains you have to commit. You have to listen to the bullshit for a while and PUSH FORWARD. Stop giving up. Stop over-thinking. Be yourself and conquer. The world of guitar belongs to you just as it is mine. ​ I'm going to be your general and get you started right so that when you're ready, you're READY! ​ Let's fucking go! Seizing opportunities isn't about a rat race or a "see who gets there first scenario". It's not about beating the other player or outclassing the competition. In fact, the only competition that matters is the motherfucker staring back at you in the mirror. ​ You see, every time you hesitate that guy punishes you for it. You're teaching him that great opportunities don't matter as much as they should. You're showing him that you can get away with it. You're lying to yourself. ​ It's you against you. ​ You can't lie to the "competition", you can only lie to that guy. Don't let your subconscious punish you any longer. Forgive yourself and start acting on the things that truly make you happy. ​ Now, it's time to embark on a new journey. It's time for the next chapter in your guitar playing. WHAT ARE THE MAIN AREAS OF FOCUS? IT'S WAY MORE SIMPLE THAN YOU THING... ​ EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN! ​ This "Speed Secret Guide" is going to dissect your playing on a atomic level. ​ Look I know why you're not seeing any progress in your playing because I've been there. Do you really wanna sit there for another year putzing around on YouTube for the answers? ​ Stop second guessing yourself! ​ I spent 25 years learning the ins and outs of mechanics, guitar theory, navigation, expression, the language itself. The building block are right fucking here for you my friend. ​ Pay attention... ​ You must start over. There's no problem with starting over. In fact, I still start over till this day. Everyone needs a reset, a re-assessment of their path to ascend to a higher one.... ​ "STEP UP TO THE CHALLENGE!" ... OR play the blame game. ​ "Oh my job is so intensive." ​ "I'm married with kids now" ​ "I'm in school and school is so important" ​ "I don't have the time" ​ THESE ARE CALLED EXCUSES! ​ Look, it's your choice but ask yourself... If all these things are truly the reason you're failing, then why does it still hurt? That pain of failure is an indicator not a death sentence. WAKE UP! YES, I'M READY NOW! STEP #1 YOU NEED THE FUNDAMENTALS Admit it. You relied on your talent. It's that simple. This happens for so many reasons but always remember that work always trumps talent. ​ And here's why... ​ Every skill requires a path to its full potential. I don't care if it's plate spinning, the person that spends the most time on the most basic concepts cultivates a winning strategy. Face it, when times got tough and you realized you weren't the hottest shit guitar player in the end you quit. We all go through this frustrating period at times but if you want a greater reason to keep going then get more skin in the game. There's no higher price to pay than discipline and that starts with going back and finishing the job with mastering your fundamental movements, theory, navigation and overall knowledge of the guitar. STEP #2 YOU NEED MORE CONSIS TENCY You gotta admit to yourself that the growth you're looking for is hidden in the consistent work you put in. This isn't going to be easy. You're not in pain because guitar is hurting you, you're in pain because you simply haven't discovered your next notch. ​ Consistency is the key here... ​ This is about picking up that guitar "Every Damn Day". Stop blaming your marriage, your schooling and your job. Own up to the commitment you made and settle the score. I'm going to teach you how to manage your time, strategize, and execute for life. STEP #3 YOU NEED A WORKING STRATEGY Or you simply just don't have one to begin with. Look, I'm not saying this to discourage you but I am trying to piss you off. Why? YouTube. That's why. ​ Most of you are just simply doing this for the wrong reasons. Cultivating a skill takes direction and that direction is birthed from a real strategy. Instead of lurking around on YouTube for free PDFs, E-Courses, etc. Get some real training. ​ Playing the guitar takes far greater attention and discipline and cannot be explained in a mere "how to" video. This is a lifestyle so closely look at your level, clarify your goals, and quit pinching pennies for knowledge. STEP #4 YOU NEED TO MAKE BETTER INVESTMENTS Stop pretending that becoming a guitar legend is free. Grow up and understand that I myself and many others in this industry have spent tens of thousands on education, mentorship, gear, tours Etc. etc. etc. ​ Even after reaching this level the list goes on. Save your money for milestones that can truly change the course of your life. Think about it. That's why you're trapped in the YouTube rat race. Wake up, save your money, and invest in your future. ​ I'm your guide so let's make this happen. STEP #5 YOU MUST ACT MORE QUICKLY Seizing opportunities isn't about a rat races or a "see who gets there first scenarios". It's not about beating the other person or outclassing the competition. In fact, the only competition that matters is the motherfucker staring back at you in the mirror. ​ You see, every time you hesitate that guy punishes you for it. You're teaching him that great opportunities don't matter to you. You're showing him that you can get away with it. You're lying to yourself. ​ You can't lie to the "competition", you can only lie to that guy. Don't let your subconscious punish you any longer. Forgive yourself and start acting on the things that truly make you happy. Now. Click Below To Start The Transformation! $997 VALUE FOR JUST $147 YES, I'M READY NOW!
