After 40 Years It's Finally Revealed... Almost Anyone Can Achieve Impossible Levels of Playing Skills With This Formula!

There's a brand new way to learn to play the guitar and play practically any song you want!

And today you’re going to discover exactly what it is and how YOU can have it.

Plus you’ll also discover how you can shave years off of your practice time on your journey to becoming an expert player while adding dozens of songs to your repertoire.

Before I get into the details though allow me to introduce myself…

Hi my name is Neil Hogan and over the last 40 years I’ve taught nearly 10,000 students how to play the guitar.

Ask any of them WHY they wanted to learn to play and the answers are pretty much this...

I’ve just always wanted to play the guitar, I love the way it sounds.” -OR- “I want to play songs.” –OR- “I want to make my own songs.”

The bottom line is this… just like my students over the last 40 years, you have a real passion for the guitar or you wouldn’t be here… and I’m going to help you make the most of your passion!

Before we get too far ahead of ourselves let me ask you one very important question.

What is the scariest question that any beginning guitarist can get asked?

I’ll tell you what it is.

It’s when someone finds out you are learning to play the guitar and says…

“Hey, What Songs Can You Play?”

Just the thought of it makes most new guitarists cringe and want to curl up and hide under a rock.

Let’s face it… It’s pretty embarrassing to get asked that question when you’re first starting out.

Imagine… you sit down to play and you’re barely able to get half way through a song or even more common, strum a few chords then get stuck.

Not a very good situation to be in right?

My students don’t have that problem.

Here’s why…

You see, my students can be confident because… I teach them how to play all the riffs, chord progressions, licks, fills and strumming patterns faster and easier than they ever thought possible.

So by the time someone close to them catches wind of them learning to play the guitar, they’ve already achieved a higher level of playing skill than almost any other beginner around.

Here’s the truth… Even if you are a complete wet-behind-the-ears beginner who just purchased your first guitar today, you can strum out your first song in no time flat!

Listen, if you are new to playing the guitar and you haven’t got any idea where to begin, you have come to the right place! This information will work for you and you will be AMAZED by how quickly it works!

I’m sure you’re saying…

“Neil, The Guitar Takes Years To Master, How Can You Make Such Bold Claims?”

Three reasons really and here they are:

Firstly, they are 100% TRUE!

Second, I said you can play songs not master the guitar, although I have to say… with what I teach and how I teach it, you can begin mastering the guitar very fast as well.

Third… For the last 40 years I’ve taught at least 10,000 students at all different levels how to play the guitar.

I’ve played and collaborated with some of the most respected and well recognized acoustic guitarists in the world. (I’ll introduce you to some of them later on this page.)

I’m not some guy from a band that no longer exists or someone who struggles to get gigs just to pay my bills… who one day decided to teach the guitar for some extra money.

No, this is my LIFE!

I live, breathe and sleep guitar.

In fact I spend most of my time teaching at my school – that was until recently however and I’ll explain later.

Here’s what some of the world’s most respected guitar players have to say about me…

Expert Testimonial

You’ll Learn Guitar At Your Own Pace In Your Home and On Your Schedule…

A few months ago, one of my students moved from California all the way to Florida and he still wanted me to teach him. He demanded it actually and was willing to pay me double the fee!

(Hey I have students who have been with me for 33 years and counting, so I wasn’t too surprised. I was just a little baffled by how I could possibly teach him through such a vast distance.)

Needless to say I had to find a way to accommodate him and have some fun with it at the same time. So, I began posting video responses to him online. Then like a bolt of lightning, it hit me!

I could teach how to play the guitar online.”

Oh what a genius I ‘thought’ I was!

So, I started putting out free videos and soon discovered that there were literally millions of people online who have always wanted to learn to play the guitar.

It didn’t take long before a non-stop flood of new students came rushing in, many of them raving that they learned more from me online than any other guitar teacher... online OR off line for that matter!

What?” I thought. “What do you mean? There are other people teaching how to play the guitar online?”

I know, you’re thinking “D’OH.” Hey, I wasn’t very internet savvy at the time so it surprised me at first…

Anyway, I started researching each and every website I found. I set aside a hefty budget for buying and testing their products, and you know what?

All Those ‘How To Play Guitar’ Sites Online Truly Stink At Teaching!

I hope that doesn’t sound rude or egotistical of me but…

I mean, they do get some things right, but they have most things terribly wrong.

How could they teach this stuff the way they do?

When I saw their methods, I was pretty “ticked off” to say the least!

Fact is, not one of these people was an actual teacher. They were all just a bunch of musicians, some of whom were sick of their corporate jobs, and since they had some songs in their repertoire they went looking for a way to make a quick buck online.

They love music which is great, but they’re crappy teachers.

I decided to change all that, level the playing field, and put the power back into the hands of the students who really wanted to learn to play guitar fast.

That’s when I decided to release my…

Totally Acoustic Rapid Guitar Excellence Training Program – The T.A.R.G.E.T. Program for short

The T.A.R.G.E.T. Program is based on my 40 years of guitar teaching experience in teaching tens of thousands of new students how to play and master the acoustic guitar.

The T.A.R.G.E.T. Program is one of the most comprehensive and easy to follow programs on how to play the guitar that has EVER been created.

Listen, I’m not just tooting my own horn here, here’s what others are saying about it…

TARGET Program Testimonial
Testimonials

Awesome right!

The T.A.R.G.E.T. Program was carefully designed using:

  • High definition video so you see and practically feel the music.

  • Step-by-step lesson plans that take you from absolute “never played before” beginner all the way up to advanced playing levels.

  • Lesson notes, tabs, theory and history.

  • Multiple lessons broken up into 8 to 12 separate mini-lessons or chapters so that you can learn each and every part of a song in detail. (Like I said before, I want you to learn everything you can so you can start playing faster!)

  • Short tips that teach you essentials to perfecting your playing skills.

The truth is…

As a beginning guitar student, there are quite a few things to consider for both the teacher and the student.

You see, when a new student comes to me, the first things I need to know are what can they already do, what can’t they do, and what they would like to be able to do. With that information, I can now make a plan as to what they need to work on. 

      The first obstacles most beginners have can be prioritized- 

    1. How to get good tone out of all the strings when they are playing a chord.

    2. Changing chords quickly enough to keep a steady rhythm.
    3. Keeping a steady strumming pattern going.

In fact, here’s a quick rundown of what you’ll learn just as an absolute beginner, this doesn’t include the other beginner, intermediate and advanced training you also get.

This is the best place for an absolute beginner to start their journey!

When you have completed these 5 lessons you will have all the tools necessary to play 100s, if not 1000s of songs.

The next series introduces a few more chords, including bar chords, a couple more strumming techniques, and opens the doors to 1000s more!

As a matter of fact, here’s a video of the T.AR.G.E.T Program members area where you can see exactly how everything is laid out and get a sneak peek at what’s in the program.

T.A.R.G.E.T System "Sneak Peek"

Here’s How to Get Started Today…

I know you’re wondering “what does this cost right?”

After all you’re getting over $8,000 worth of material but the truth is…

The cost of the T.A.R.G.E.T. Program is embarrassingly low. So low in fact, I almost couldn’t put it up here without getting some serious backlash from my offline students and putting my neck on the line to boot.

You see, like I said earlier… my regular fee was $80 for a single 1 hour live and in person session. That 1 hour session can never to be repeated again. I say “my fee was” because ever since I launched TotallyGuitars.com, I’ve been flooded with new students and a price increase is about to happen because they all think it’s a bargain.

I mean, most students come 3-4 times a month and spend $240 to $320 a month on live lessons.

Of course I know that’s not possible for everyone.

Because you’ll be getting over 100 hours of video training that you can watch again and again and again and keep rewinding until you’ve gotten your technique just right…

and because you’re getting over 50 songs to add to your repertoire PLUS discovering my secret methods to accelerating your playing skills and becoming a master guitarist…

TARGET is currently offered in two subscriptions:
6 month membership for $155

Gasp!

I know I’m absolutely nuts for doing this especially when people already pay me $240-$320 a month!

Yes, that’s right. Your eyes are not deceiving you…

I’m actually giving you over 100 hours of lessons complete with supporting documents which others have paid over $8,000 for and I’m doing it for 70-85% less than everyone else is paying!

You see, I want to go down in history and in your memory as the guy that made a real difference with my lessons in your life. Maybe it’s my way of remaining immortal, who knows…

After all, there’s only one of me and over 18,000 members of my website.

I’m also planning to semi-retire my offline teaching and go into fulltime teaching on the internet!

Imagine… logging into your T.A.R.G.E.T. Program membership account in the next five minutes and being able to play a song by the end of the day!

(depending on your current skills of course)

Then… by applying what I teach you and the time you take to practice, you can practically strum or pick out thousands of new tunes any time!

How would that make you feel?

Amazing right?!

Want to hear something even more amazing than $8,000 worth of lessons in your hands today?

BRAND NEW and Revolutionary Virtual Teaching Method… Faster Than Taking Private Lessons!

I told you I had something HUGE to tell you today right?

I wasn’t just talking about the release of the T.A.R.G.E.T. Program.

Here’s the thing… if you’ve been following me for any length of time then you know that I’ve been mentioning that I had some expensive, “crack shot” programmers working behind the Totally Guitars scenes to create something incredible for you.

And… It’s FINALLY here!

If you thought I was CRAZY for making this remarkable program so affordable, you’re in for a MAJOR shocker!

Ready?

How would YOU like to have me become your virtual teacher? I’m not just talking about the standard one-way videos here, you already have those in the T.A.R.G.E.T. Program.

You see, I’ve set up a way for you to upload a recorded video of you playing your guitar and asking questions based on whatever lesson you choose, and my team and I will look it over and give you a video response!

It’s Like Having Me LIVE In Your Living Room, Coaching You As You Play Each and Every Chord!

That’s a PRICELESS value!

But wait…

Here’s Even MORE Amazing Stuff!

You Can Get All Your Questions Answered LIVE or Privately…

Jeff on Percussive Playing

SIDENOTE: While I was writing this, my daughter Rebecca came and reminded me of two things I should have said earlier to put your mind at ease. “Doh” as she puts it!

On top of all the amazing stuff that I’ve already created for you, I’m adding a private members only forum for The T.A.R.G.E.T. Program founding member students only, where you can join a growing community of T.A.R.G.E.T. Program students.

In that forum, I’ll spend my teaching time there answering questions to help you become a better player and achieve guitar mastery. I’ll also be taking requests for songs as well.

You’re never alone as my student. You’ll get my full support as you need it, when you need it.

That’s at least a $497 value by itself for FREE and from what I know you’ll be getting. I’m pretty sure that I’m understating that by A LOT!

What’s even better is that is that I’m going to host a live online workshop every month where we can chat and play together in virtual learning fun!

Yes, it will be LIVE. Yes, it will be T.A.R.G.E.T. Program members only. Yes, I will answer your immediate questions.

So you see there’s tons of ways for you to learn with the T.A.R.G.E.T. Program.

That’s at least another $80 value and if I actually did a live workshop it would cost a heck of A LOT more.

You’ll Also Get New Songs, Tips and Tricks Every Month…

Yes, on top of the 50 songs you’ll get in Month #1… every month you get to vote on the songs you want to learn and I will give you complete lesson plans on new songs and bonus tips and tricks every month.

Not only will you “walk the walk”, but I’ll make sure you can also “talk the talk” too!

Because each month, every song lesson includes: 

    1. Play Through- A complete instrumental performance of the song, including all the sections to be covered. Many of these segments could be considered mini-concerts by Neil.

    1. Preview- Detailed historical and background information on the artist, the song, and the recording, as well as a look at the techniques and concepts that will be taught in the lesson.

    1. Theory Talk- This segment takes a look at the song from a music theory perspective. These commonly include talking about keys, scales, time signatures, chord progressions, alternate tunings, sometimes even what the composer was thinking or trying to do.

    1. Close Ups- There are individual segments focused on each hand and every technique and skill necessary in the song.

    1. Break It Down- This is usually the longest chapter in the lesson and walks through the song, usually measure by measure. It is recommended that the students follow along with Neil’s tablature, which can be downloaded as a pdf from our site.

    1. Play Along- All lessons include a play along section where Neil plays through the song slowly, usually with a metronome. These segments are designed to be a practice partner for the student. Most of the lessons feature a slowed down version as well as a full speed version.

    1. Summary- Neil’s closing thoughts about the song, the techniques, the concepts and what to practice. These are the kind of things he might remind a student to focus on as they are leaving a lesson in his studio.

This Is The Most Comprehensive Program On Playing The Guitar Ever Developed… Dontcha’ Think?

My colleagues in the music industry have all made it very clear to me that this is not just an inexpensive, anyone can afford it program…

They screamed at me saying that this is a STUPIDLY CHEAP price and I’m absolutely insane for doing this!

Like I said earlier…

This Is Your Reward For Helping Me Build My Dream Site…

This site is as much yours as it is mine.

I just need to be able to afford to keep it going with all the videos and such that is at its foundation and besides…

My wife told me that I better make this site pay or I have to go back to my REAL job! Ha ha… ok she was actually serious (shrug).

Remember after the first 1,000 founding members are registered, I am closing down the registration process indefinitely.

If I ever reopen the T.A.R.G.E.T. Program it will cost at least $47 a month and most likely $97 a month so...

In case you’re a bit skeptical about what I’m saying and if this will work for you, here’s what I’m going to do for you…

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee!

“One Of The Best Guitar Learning Experiences Online.”
I've been testing Neil Hogan's new Target program at totallyguitars.com for a few days now. Target is really cool. There are step-by-step tutorials for dozens of the songs you've always wanted to play. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Stones, Neil Young, you name it. For each song, you get instructions for the right and left hand, theoretical background ' Neil even tells some stories about how and when the songs were written, virtually without digressing.

Those song tutorials are already great, but there's more to Target than just that. There are quick tips for beginners and more advanced students alike, you get tabs for all the lessons, you can even watch videos of Neil's lessons to "real-life" students. Personally, I've found Neil not only to be a great teacher but also very communicative, accessible and helpful. I have no doubt that these qualities will make Target one of the best guitar learning experiences online. If you're interested in learning to play the guitar at all, give it a try. Seriously.

Product Review - Mike S.
“It's Very impressive, Especially For A Beginner Like Myself.”
My initial impression was, this is fantastic...This is the real deal!
But first, a little background on myself. I am a 46 year old who decided to learn to play guitar about one year ago at the encouragement of my wife. I have always loved music but never played anything. I started with guitar lessons with a recommended instructor and we meet once a week (about 3 times per month). The learning curve at first was SLOW, basic chord shapes with parts of recognizable songs. With time and practice playing not only got easier but something that I daily look forward to. This has been one of the best things I have done and I thoroughly enjoy it.

I stumbled on Totallyguitar through Youtube. I was looking for a lesson on any Neil Young song. After watching several so-so clips, I watched Neil teach Heart of Gold. I spent some time on the song and soon was playing Neil Young! The instruction was incredible...simple to understand, great quality, and produced results in a short time. I was hooked. Soon I was working on Cinnamon girl, Blackbird and Dust in the Wind. This was fun and I soon found myself asking my local guitar teacher to help me with the difficult parts of Neil's teachings.

I received an email for a contest from totallyguitar about two weeks ago and I sent in my answers to a questionnaire about what I was looking for in a guitar lesson. To my surprise I was one of the winners and got to preview new parts of the website including the Target lessons. This was what I was looking for in a guitar lesson. How exciting! Not only do you get Neil's excellent instruction, but the lessons are broken down in detail to basic components. You get a separate lesson on the right and left hand, as well as the music theory. You can start with a beginner video, play or practice at a slower speed, advance to harder lessons, and finally play along with another video. In other words, I could learn at my own pace and review what at first I didn't understand. The complete package! It's very impressive, especially for a beginner like myself. I find myself practicing more and trying more difficult songs. My basic goal in learning guitar was to be able to play the songs I love, which is what I am going to do now...try a little finger picking with Neil and James Blunt. Great job and I look forward to more evenings with Totallyguitar.com.

Product Review - Richard S.
“The Mark Of A Truly Gifted Teacher.”
I first came across TotallyGuitars in December 2008. I was struck by Neil's friendly and knowledgeable approach to teaching songs. However, he wasn't just teaching how to copy songs he was teaching technique and theory with each lesson. Now I know a lot of guitarist shy away from theory and technique and just want to know how to play their favorite songs. Neil's presentation is so enjoyable you don't even know you've just learned some bit of theory or a technique that will improve your playing in the long run. You realize it later when you go to learn or play something similar and find yourself returning to what Neil taught you. That is the mark of a truly gifted teacher.

I anxiously awaited the new site that came online in March and I will have to say I have not been disappointed. The new forum setup and especially the groups have been most exciting. Quite frankly, I look forward to logging in everyday and see what is new in the forum and see the new wall post or discussions in the groups.

Of course who could forget the videos and the blog. I check the blog to hear about new and exciting things happening at TotallyGuitars. Then it's over to the videos to continue on one I'm working on or to check out the latest one.

All I can say is nice job Neil and friends, keep up the great work. I am very glad to be able to be a part of this great website.

Product Review - Rex W.
“He Knows How To Break Down Difficult Concepts So That They Are Understandable.”
I have been subscribed to Neil's blog and mini-lessons at Totally Guitars for several months, and I have enjoyed everything a lot. Neil is a wealth of knowledge, and he knows how to break down difficult concepts so that they are understandable. I consider myself to be an intermediate-level guitar player, and I am always able to learn something new from Neil's video lessons. I like the way he teaches music theory as he teaches songs, which lets me see how the theory is applied. The TARGET program is an expansion of what I already enjoy from Totally Guitars, so I'm anxious and excited to get further into it. The way the program is divided into different bands, styles of music, songs, and levels of expertise, there will be something for everyone in this program. Plus, the members will be able to network and communicate with teach other via the blog, forum, and community and learn from each other. I would recommend the TARGET program at Totally Guitars to any guitar player who is interested in learning good music and improving his playing.
