If you’ve ever thought:
- “Why can’t I keep a steady rhythm?”
- “Why does strumming feel so awkward?”
- “I can play chords, but I can’t make it sound like real music…”
You’re not alone. And this course was made for you.
Strumming Shouldn’t Be the Thing That Holds You Back
I’ve taught thousands of students—many of whom felt hopeless when it came to rhythm.
But after years of focused work, I’ve developed a step-by-step system that makes strumming click, even for people who’ve tried every other method and still couldn’t “get it.”
This course isn’t about memorizing more patterns or speeding through new chords.
It’s about learning to hear and feel rhythm in your bones.
Why This Course Works (When Others Don’t)
Most teachers gloss over strumming. They show you a pattern and expect you to “just get it.”
But what if you don’t?
Strumming Made Simple breaks it down from the ground up.
We start with your hands and ears—not your brain. You’ll:
- Tap your foot to real rhythm
- Build coordination slowly and steadily
- Understand feel (swing, straight, syncopated, etc.)
- Learn to play what you hear—and sing while doing it
You’ll move from late beginner to confident intermediate—even if you’ve failed before.

Strumming Made Simple is what I wish I had when I started. It’s designed for the 49 out of 50 people who don’t ‘just get it’—but want to.
There was so much more than just a video with a guy teaching you to play the guitar. The easy step by step approach, articulate and encouraging manner… With the help from James’ course my guitar playing has improved immensely in such a short time.
It was so frustrating to never be able to play an entire song even after spending so much time and money on lessons… I found James’ course and by the time I got to Chapter 3, I was already playing songs that I tried learning for 15 years. It feels like a one-on-one lesson and it really worked for me. Thank you James.
After taking private lessons for 6 months, and getting nowhere, my confidence was pretty shaken. As a last ditch effort I decided to try an online course. That was about 2 months ago and I’ve gotten farther ahead than 6 months of lessons did for me. Worth every cent.
For many years a guitar simply sat in my closet. Figuring out how to start seemed confusing and intimidating. Then I found this course. James is amazing. He is incredibly patient and thorough while simultaneously keeping it interesting and fun. I look forward to my evening practice sessions now, thanks very much to James!
