Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much are tools?

    It depends on what you already have. If you have a basic household set of tools with wire cutters, screwdrivers, pliers, then you are a step ahead. If not, you may have to buy those items. The items specific to measurements and adjustments are about $30. That's feeler gauge, truss rod tools, string action gauge. I give very budget friendly advice. I also advise you buy only what you need. The course is definitely not designed to sell hundreds of dollars in tools. However, guitar guys can get carried away. That is not the intention.

  • I am a new guitar player and I'm just getting started. Will this still work for me?

    Yes, this can work for you. If will give you the foundation you need to maintain your gear.

  • I've been playing for a while. I already know the basics about setups. Is this going to help me?

    Yes, unless you already know how to professionally setup your guitar. The work flow alone will save you time moving forward.

  • How do I know I won't damage something?

    I personally won't show you anything that could damage your guitar. I'll go over safety before we start. Everything you do is reversible and as long as you follow instructions, cannot damage your guitar.

  • I've heard you shouldn't move the truss rod?

    Guitars are made to be adjusted. Period. The truss rod should be adjusted to counteract the affects of string tension. It usually only takes 1 or 2 small twists to get back to normal.

  • I don't have my guitar yet, will this help me with a brand new guitar in a box?

    YES! This helps you get your new guitar playing correctly, right out of the box.

  • When will I get access?

    You will receive an email with all the details immediately after your purchase and will get access to our inner circle group within 24 hours.

  • Is there a money-back guarantee?

    Yes, there is a 7-Day no-questions-asked money-back-guarantee.
