"Do I like Express Guitar? You bet I do, and here's why! I have always enjoyed the sounds of the guitar and have always wanted to learn to play. Within the last 6 months I have tried book from the library and book store. Downloaded a course that I thought was the best according to the fan fare. Then I came across Express Guitar, WOW I am sold!I just love the way that the course is set up, simple precept upon precept, the finger gym, the tunes to play along with, just to mention a few things that I enjoy. But the way you teach theory is just awesome. To sum it all up Express Guitar is the best teaching program out on the net today bar none. Keep up the good work" -- Rev Ron Leaky

"I can't wipe the smile of my face now when I pick up my guitar! I don't have any spare time in my business (busy pub) but Mike's course allows me to fit in fifteen minutes of practice a day and see results. Thank you and I'll keep in touch." -- Pip Price

"After struggling for almost 30 years to try and 'wring' a tune out of a guitar, at last with the aid of this program, I'm actually producing recognizable tunes after only two weeks. I've tried all the rest, Mike's programme is the best." -- Derek Richardson

"Hi, this is Bruce Clarke, I'm a Melbourne, Australian guitarist/musician .... for many years I ruled the roost on the Aussie jazz guitar scene, particually in the field of radio, television and studio recording and for the last twenty years of a long sixty year career I've been involved in teaching.

Over the years I've work with the best all the big names particually on guitar: Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, Charlie Byrd, Martin Taylor, John Williams... great jazz musicians like Dizzy Gillispie, Stan Getz, Frank Sinatra ... over the long years I've seen and heard thousands of guitar players guitarists of all shapes, colors and styles but sad to say I've only heard a smattering that really knew what they were doing ... so I'm here to say a few words in support of one of the keenest, caring and thoughtful player/teachers to enter my world and I speak of Mike Hayes - apart from being a very accomplished performer, Mike has all of the teaching skills, and most importantly of all ... he has the ability to pass them on!

"I am a self taught guitarist. I started about 5 years ago with a cheap acoustic and a "How to play the guitar" book, (one of my many purchases over the years). I must be re-living my youth, I am a 63 year old retiree, enjoying my self. I am a church musician and really just play chord accompaniment. I have never been able to really play anything in the pop/blues venue until I took a good look at "Express Guitar". The info that you make available is fantastic. I now have some 'method' to my learning process. Of all the purchases I have made over the years, "Express Guitar" has provided more useful info than any other course or book I have purchased. I have not gotten a long way into the course, but I am anxious to do so. I wished I would have found your web site sooner".

The package I received is first class and the follow up with extra tips which I never expected via e-mail show me that this is someone who really wants to help you progress and not after a quick buck. It is down to me now so no excuses. Thanks again." -- Mike Wilson

(Gurgaon, India)

"As a student of Mike Hayes since 1999, I have found his teaching methods and products to be first class.

Whatever style of area of music I have been interested in, he has provided me with useful information, advice and study materials.

His style of teaching and teaching products enabled me to progress through his guitar course far quicker than I ever imagined.He also helps in teaching yourself to find and develop your own style of music.Mike's teaching gives his student's the ability to become useful musicians, not just guitarists.

-- Stephen Reid

"I love it! I learned to play cords when I was 13 years old. Well, I am now 50 and I am able to play songs instead of just strumming strings. This all happened one day. I purchased your course and I am on my way with each day being a new adventure with my guitar. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" -- Judy Bjornstad

"This course teaches us how to learn, retain and how to recall information quickly. This entire program is built around "connected learning" with key phrases, picture words (yes there is such a thing) and the most dynamic personal motivator I have ever had the pleasure of knowing."
 -- Ken Simpson

"This course is great! Starting with the fundamentals, it continuously builds your knowledge - no confusion, nothing left out! This process achieves a confidence, inspiring layering of knowledge, plus practical skill that leaves no boundaries for the dedicated, aspiring student. I am forever grateful for the opportunity to study the guitar and music via this method. Thank you Mike Hayes!"

 -- Cameron Burridge

"The course is varied, in-depth and well-structured, making learning and comprehension fast, thorough and enjoyable.

"This is the best help on learning how to play the guitar anyone could receive. Especially without paying lot's of money to learn!"  -- Anthony Stillwell

(Chillicotte, Ohio - USA)

"I have really enjoyed the course and found the soundbytes and regular text updates very useful." --

"I have been playing guitar for about two years already and have gone through many books and audio materials on how to play the guitar. At this time, I can play songs using notes and chords, except for one problem: I need sheets or chord books in order to play the guitar. Also I felt the sound I produced could be enhanced. You are right tying songs to structures makes it easier to learn to play without chord books or music sheets. Going through your book made me realize that most so called 3 chord songs which are or have been popular are based on a small number of simple templates. Knowing them makes it easy for one to play them in any scale. Now I rock! Thanks." --

"I have been playing for a couple of years learning scales, modes and riffs, but was looking for a way to just pick up the guitar and knock out some songs. Your course has shown me how to do this, I found it very easy to understand and it has taught me the true value of the capo. However there is still need to practice, practice and even more practice. Thanks Mike." --

"Its a good way to learn guitar, better than using the training video that comes with some of the guitar packages as they move to fast or only show what you need to do once and expect you to do it straight off."

 -- James Walker

   ( Henderson, Kentucky, USA)

"I guess I'd be classified as an adult beginner, age 40. Your course has helped me get a better understanding of the notes/chords, your teaching method definitely makes it easy to learn some songs quickly ...my biggest obstacle right now is getting the practice time in ...my son is trying to learn as well (age 10), right now we're sharing the same guitar. As my thirst for learning increases I'm sure I'll go out and get another one."

 -- Susan Peterson

(Oakland, California, USA)

"Hey Mike,Yeah, several day and not only have I learnt my first complete song, but it's helped me develop and understanding of other songs. My recommendation is that anyone who wants to play guitar pays for the course - I've got a tutorial video, but that's useless compared to your course. I really appreciate the whole package, as, at first, I was very skeptical of paying money for it, because I was worried it wouldn't be all it was cracked up to be. But you proved me wrong! Cheers again." --
