Why NBN Guitar Works

  • Learn from Joshua Rogers – an international performer with a casual and clear easy-to-follow teaching approach that will have you learning immediately.

  • NBN stands for Note-By-Note and it is a system that guides your gently through every single note in a piece using carefully structured bite-sized video lessons. No intimidating notes or numbers to read.

  • A big hurdle to learning guitar is the preconception that you need to know how to read music or tabs. That’s like saying you need to know how to read before you can speak.

    Here we get you playing by teaching you the notes, and gradually introducing you to theory and reading as we go (if you want to).

  • Built on classical technique, our system helps you to develop a solid technique that you can use to play blues, classical, rock, metal or any other genre you can think of.

  • Although reading music or tabs is not required in the NBN Guitar system they are still valuable and very useful, and so we provide them with every piece – just in case.

  • The Essentials Primer for Beginners Guitar Course was developed by Josh and is used by several schools across New Zealand – proven to get results.

    It was developed specifically to nurture new players by gently introducing them to theory, technique, and some songs.

    The course features:

    • 17 modules (broken down into smaller lessons)

    • 180 minutes of video lessons

    • Matching course book

    • Exercises & Journal

  • Learn anywhere at any time with self-paced lessons viewable on any device. Pause, rewind, slow-down (or speed up!) with your 24/7 teacher that never gets upset if you’re late.

Classical Guitar is Demanding

You obviously love classical guitar, but it isn’t without its challenges and frustrations. With dodgy online lessons, scores riddled with errors, and the challenge of learning alone it can all seem a tad overwhelming.

Does this sound familiar?

  • always get stuck somewhere

  • experience difficulty memorising

  • motivation has become a swear word

  • have trouble working out fingerings

  • take an eternity reading notation & tabs

I Totally Get It

I’ve been there. The struggle is real. Classical guitar is a big challenge for different reasons.

I’ve also discovered that all obstacles can be overcome with the right guidance.

My Guitar Method

During the thirty five years that I’ve been a guitar teacher I’ve witnessed so many students struggle with reading music & tabs. This led me to develop the Note-by-Note Guitar system.

Essentially, the system teaches you every note without needing a score. This is a very difficult way of teaching that requires extreme patience, concentration, and a true desire to assist.

“I highly recommend Joshua and his courses if you want your guitar journey to be a fun and rewarding experience.”
