Every guitarist I know has a hilarious if not frustrating memory of trying to learn right hand strumming by piecemealing together random bits of information and songs into some sort of Frankenstein approach. This can work, but what I’ve attempted with Strum It Like a Cowboy is to give you a step by step approach where we systematically build up our right hand Strumming Technique.
I believe Blaze would approve of this book’s content, but he would not approve of the medium, let alone have any clue as to what a PDF or ebook are.
TESTIMONIALS
“The best teachers I've had in my life have generally given me a few pointers to get me moving in the right direction but not so many that I didn't have to troubleshoot and think for myself. Mike strikes this balance wonderfully in "Strum it Like a Cowboy". WIth humor and a little bit of tough love, Mike takes the student through a clear and logical progression of concepts but makes sure that creativity and making music is encouraged at every turn. I have no doubt that a student who is patient and consistent with this material will come out the other side an excellent guitar player. Most importantly you'll be making music you care about with a voice unique to you.” - Tommy D.
Mike's music method is the music method for me! His process is unlike any other I have seen! His process is personal, detailed, and meets me where I am as a player. Strum It Like a Cowboy is a fantastic work that led me through the struggles of misunderstanding that I have experienced elsewhere. I now feel enabled as a player to build upon my own skill with other people's music and to create my own music based on Mike's principles." - Spencer L.
