Including:

  • Developing your core downstroke and upstroke strumming technique so holding onto the pick and upstrokes won’t be an issue anymore. 

  • Laying the foundation for your timing skills so you can confidently strum along to songs and set yourself up for success with triplets and 16th notes later on. 

  • Marrying your technique and timing together to make your playing smoother and more natural.

Important questions you may have before grabbing access to

the Strumming Dr. Live course:

Q: Is this for beginner or advanced players? A: One of the best things about the Strumming Dr. course is that it is for all skill levels. In fact, I encourage everyone to go through the course multiple times. The first time you go through it, you focus on picking up what you can at your current skill level. Once you complete it the first time, you can go back through it and take things to the next level.

Q: Why is the Strumming Dr. Live for a limited time? A: With this version of the Strumming Dr., we will do 5 live weekly mastermind sessions. These will help reinforce what you learn in each phase of the course and give you a chance to get feedback and ask questions in a live setting. The live nature of this course forces us to limit the availability. The mastermind sessions will be on Thursdays from January 30th through February 27th.

Q: What if I don’t like the course or it doesn’t get me to where I want to be? A: There is a 30-day money back guarantee. All we ask is that you give it a good solid try and put in the time.

Q: What if I need extra help with a specific topic or skill? A: There are several ways to get feedback. You can attend the live mastermind groups. If you are going through the course after the mastermind groups have happened, there are other ways to get feedback too. You can submit videos for Student Video Reviews, post in the Guitar Fam forum, email us, or schedule a private lesson with Nate.

Q: What’s the difference between the Lifetime Access for $197 and the Guitar Fam Premium Membership for $97? A: The Lifetime Access option gives you the Strumming Dr. course forever. You can go through it as many times as you like any time, day or night. The Guitar Fam Premium Membership gives you access to the entire Guitar Fam Premium Course Library for one full year.

Q: Can I purchase the Strumming Dr. Live after the “Live” mastermind groups have already occurred? A: Yes. You won’t be able to attend the live mastermind groups because they will have already occurred, but you get everything else included in the course.

Q: What if I miss one of the live mastermind groups? A: The live mastermind groups will be recorded and archived on the Guitar Fam website. If you purchased the course during the launch week or are a premium member, you will be able to access the archives.

Q: How will this help me play the songs I want? A: Each phase of the Strumming Dr. course ends with song recommendations and those songs are taught on the songs page of the Guitar Fam site. You can pick one of the recommended songs and woodshed it to apply what you’ve worked on in the course.

Q: What is new in this version of the Strumming Dr.? A: This new version of the Strumming Dr. includes progress tracking, live mastermind groups, song recommendations, and daily practice sessions so you know when to move on to the next phase.

Meet the Guitar Fam

I’m Nate Savage, and my wife Chelsea and I run GuitarFam.com.

 

I’ve seen guitarists struggle with the same strumming and timing issues for a good 20 years now.​ It’s no fun to feel like you can’t make it through a song without a train wreck or that your timing is terrible.

That’s why I created the Strumming Dr. course. I wanted to address the biggest trouble spots that hold guitarists back from playing the music they love and give them a step-by-step system to overcome those challenges. 

If you are willing to put in 15-30 minutes of practice per day, 4-6 times per week, you can get your strumming to the level you’ve always wanted. We will be there to support you every step of the way. 

 

We want to welcome you to the Guitar Fam and extend an invitation to reach out anytime you need advice or just want to share a progress update. Just click the button below to send us an email or start a new conversation thread in the Guitar Fam forum.
