Classical Guitar is Tough
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.
Me and My Guitar
Thirty five years and thirty plus years teaching. During that time I’ve literally helped tens of thousands overcome challenges so they could play their favourite music on guitar.
I have a performance qualification from the Trinity College of London, and my guitar lessons have been viewed more than 15,000,000 times and used by people and schools around the world for almost a decade.
How we can help.
My resources are able to help you get you playing what you want to play. Memberships, private lessons, and scores can all work independently or as a collective to synergise your learning path.

“Josh opened a new door for me.”
“Josh is patient, and he gives me space to be myself while always showing me the right way to play.”

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
