In a nutshell, this will absolutely Blow The Top off your guitar playing!

“The Root Monkey”…

If you have children, you’ve seen the movie “Tarzan” by Disney. Heck, if you have children, you’ve probably seen it about 5oo times. I have.

In that movie, there’s a scene where Tarzan is blazing across trees…. down their limbs… grabbing a vine… swinging… surfing down another limb… leaping through the air, only to grab another vine and soar through the trees faster and faster repeating the whole zooming process …over and over.

Never once does he have to stop and think or look off in the distance to move ahead. He doesn’t need to.

He knows naturally and easily where to go. And if his footing is wrong, he surfs across the limb, grabs a vine, swings higher and higher… He’s never lost!

If you’ve never seen this killer animation by Disney. You owe it to yourself to do it so you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.

You know the funny thing is – a real monkey in the wild will do the very same thing. They flow effortlessly from tree to tree …vine to vine. You don’t see them sitting there pondering their next move. It comes natural!

What does this have to do with guitar you ask?

Everything.

You see, there comes a point in your playing that you’ll actually become confused in a very new way. A positive way!

I’m not talking about an “I’m lost. I don’t know where to go or what to do”

NO…NO…NO……

I’m talking about – “I’m lost because I see so many possibilities, I don’t know which one I want to grab onto first!!!”

There will come a point in the LGFAE course where (“out of the blue”) you’ll realize that in soloing or playing chords on your guitar – there are options everywhere. You’ll literally become confused because you’ll have the sense of “I can do that here… wait I can do it there… man… that ties right together here.. and that connects right back to where I was there…” It will be a flood and you’ll love it.

This sort of confusion is awesome. It is a sign that you are feeling the affects of what I coined the name “The Root Monkey”.

Like Tarzan in the trees, your fingers will have so many possibilities on the strings, you’ll move seamlessly all over the neck of the guitar. You’ll see them – and, it will seem as though your fingers see them for themselves as well. You’re fingers will just seem to go there automatically.

So, when you start experiencing this new found confusion… BE GLAD. It means you’re starting to get it. The Root Monkey is knocking at your door and it’s then that we will feed it more and more.

The whole LGFE course is designed to get you to this point very quickly and once you enter this side of things, there’s a whole set of lessons that will light a fire like never before.  Things like six fret stretches that take you from fret #5 to fret #17 in just a couple simple moves and it sounds amazing.

You’ll get it! And when you do, it’s like a huge gate has been opened to ideas, tricks, licks, and just unreal possibilities on the guitar.

It’s very important to have focused and learned “The Bridge”, “The Stages” and “The Shapes” if you really want to be filled full and get the treasure The Root Monkey can bring. Just do it!!! Hang in there.

I really can’t say enough about this part of the course. In my mind, it’s the key to it all. And getting to it is “easy as pie”. Just come through the other lessons so you’re ready for it.

The Root Monkey literally has you playing from the first fret to the last fret and everywhere in between – no thinking… no noodling around…

This is The Root Monkey. Be ready to master it and it will turn you into a master. You’ll never sound the same again. You’ll never sound lost again.

Now, let’s go grab a vine.
