"Taught me to hear, play, and understand better!"
There are 2 CDs in this package. The idea is to listen to them with guitar in hand and play along. Just like the title hints, "Complete Guitar By Ear" is taught completely by ear. There is no booklet or written materials that come with it.

I was never able to figure out my favorite songs on guitar until I bought this course. I was very skeptical when ordering "Complete Guiatr By Ear" because I had tried other ear training books and CDs in the past. This course was very different and it actually worked!

The first CD starts out very basic, which was helpful for me. The first few tracks have you playing along with a short range of notes on the first string. Then as you get more comfortable the narrator has you find notes on your own by playing along with the recording. Next the second string is introduced, you play along, find notes, then combine the first and second strings. This continues until you have learned to play notes by ear on all 6 strings. By the end of disc one you have learned every note, and every note combination on every string.

The second CD has a lot of more advanced ear training lessons. It took me about 4 weeks to complete disc one and two the first time. I started figuring out my favorite songs after 2 weeks of using these CDs. I've listened and played along with disc 2 dozens of times and as a result I can name intervals just by hearing them. Also, I've noticed that when I have my guitar and I'm listening to a song that my hand automatically goes to the notes being played on the radio.

Other ear training courses make ear training seem mystical or impossible. "Complete Guitar By Ear" is easy to use and understand from beginning to end. It has given me an entirely different understanding and appreciation of music.

"Complete Guitar by Ear"
I have used the Complete Guitar by Ear course for a few months now and find it an excellent tool to begin playing by ear. It started me off by teaching me how to distinguish between different pitches and helped me develop my playing by ear.

"Totally helped me out."
This pitch trainer is simple yet effective. Cuts out all the useless guitar-jargon that just helps to confuse students. And best of all it deals with ONLY the guitar. After using this trainer I've learned over 20 of my favorite songs by ear! Thanks.

"Your Course is Great! Back in the 80's I purchased the David L. Burge Ear Training Course and couldn't get passed the first tape. Your narration & content flowed, keeping me interested all the way through both CD's. I hope you come out with another Bass CD. Thanks!"

"Mark: I purchased your "Complete Guitar by Ear" and have started taking the lessons. Learning a lot. I am looking forward to completing the course and as a result know more about playing my guitar. I'm almost 72, retired and having a lot of fun learning to play my Martin D28... Who says that older people can't learn new things? Baloney."

"Hi Mark! I received your Complete Guitar By Ear CD's late yesterday afterday. I listened to both of them all the way through. I can say I was MORE than IMPRESSED! I've NEVER found any material to date that SIMPLIFIES Guitar Playing and Guitar Theory as these do! The CD's will benefit guitarists of every level from Beginner through Advanced! Your method "Cuts To The Chase." These CD's are a "MUST HAVE" for any guitarist! ...There wasn't much written in the way of guitar theory until relatively recently. ...I've heard David Burges tapes over ten years ago and there is a distinct difference! Your approach gets right to the heart of the matter and does so with simplicity! I'm so impressed with these CD's I believe they should be introduced to local music stores and music teachers. ...These CD's are an asset to any Guitarist repertoire of learning material. Thanks for developing such a uniquely refreshing approach to Guitar Theory!"
