Great guitar players are not born, they are made... one hour of practice at a time. We do not promise quick success, but we do offer a comprehensive method that closely examines the knowledge and skills of great players who gain their status by earning it. These are players that know all the basics, inside and out. They play mean lean and clean guitar, and push the boundaries of their own styles. They know music, and they know their instruments. They know it all, and they do it all day in and out. These are black belt players. Maybe they are famous, maybe not. Maybe you know someone who is a true black belt guitarist... and maybe this is you.

Like Zen Guitar, this site explores the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of playing guitar music, and dynamic musical forces at work with rhythm, melody and harmony. More than Zen Guitar, we also explore how music works technically, so we get the best of both worlds: a little Eastern philosophy mixed in with good old Western music theory and practical examples.

Black Belt Guitar Academy is reaching out to guitar players everywhere who are making the world a better place through music.
