If you’re a beginner or an intermediate player with room for improvement looking for a complete guitar theory course (without the hefty $45,000 price tag of Guitar Institute), then look no further.

Today we are looking at Dan Denley’s, Amazing Guitar Secrets – The ultimate no-holds-barred, super guide to instantly improve your guitar playing.

At first glance, I have to say wow… what a title! But the question is… does this course live up to its name? Let’s dig in and see.

The Amazing Guitar Secrets Guitar Course arrived at my front door via UPS in 3 days. That’s fast!

The course comes with so much good material I couldn’t decide where to begin. Fortunately, it comes with a quick start guide.

I spent an entire week combing over this material, and there is no way I can cover everything here. But I’ll certianly try.

Here is what the Amazing Guitar Secrets Guitar Course comes with:

• 1 12-step quick start guide
• 2 DVD’s (4 hours of one-on-one instruction)
• 1 massive 2-inch thick manual (about 400 pages)
• 41 video tutorials & 135 audio examples

So far I’m impressed, and I haven’t even opened the guitar manual yet. OK, let’s continue.

According to the quick start guide, my first step is to sign my Personal Commitment Statement on the progess tracker. I don’t know how many guitar courses I’ve purchased over the years, but this is a first. Dan Denley is putting me on the spot and asking me to make a commitment to myself to improve my playing.
