Hi Mike here. Just a bit about my background.
I completed a diploma at 'The Guitar Institute' in London in 2002 after having qualified as a secondary school teacher from UCC (University College Cork) some years previously.
In 2003 I decided to go into teaching music full-time and combining my love of guitar with my passion for teaching, I set up the 'Ennis Guitar School' in my home town Ennis in Co. Clare, Ireland.
I have been playing and teaching guitar for more than 30 years now (having taught privately before opening my school) and I have taught thousands of students of all ages and all levels, both one-to-one and in groups.
During this time I also delivered guitar workshops on behalf of a wide range of organisations including Music Generation Ireland (set up and funded by Bono and U2) and taught guitar in several primary and second level schools throughout County Clare as well as running Adult workshops.
I am interested in and play many types of music including Folk, Rock, Blues, Country, Ragtime and Fingerstyle and I have played in bands, solo and other musical combos.
I grew up listening to Irish ballads and folk songs performed by artists such as the Dubliners, Clancy brothers, Mary Black, Christy Moore, Planxty and the Furey brothers to name a few and this music in particular has always been close to my heart.
“If any of you are wishing you could play guitar and sing some of your favourite songs don’t hesitate…I guarantee you will not regret it. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. Within a month I was playing some of my favourite songs”
Paul Barrett

“I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to anyone interested in learning guitar or for anyone who already plays but has hit a wall and wants to improve”

“I found the course content excellent: you are developing a first class site and content”

I specifically made ‘Irish Folk songs on guitar’ for people of all skill levels including those who may have never played before. This is the perfect course to start your guitar playing journey.
Yes absolutely. Most lessons have a level 2 for more intermediate players like you but I would encourage you to watch all the lessons... lots of level 1 lessons contain more than the basics.
You have lifetime access to the course which will always be available on our membership portal whenever you log in.
No, this is a digital product only. There will be no shipping of any kind. Once you have purchased the product, you will be able to get instant access to all the materials in the members area.
If for any reason it doesn't work for you, simply take me up on my 30 day money back guarantee. I don't want to keep your money unless you are 100% satisfied.
Obviously, everyone is a bit different. However, this course was created in such a simple way that you can be playing a song after your first lesson. That may be a bit hard to believe, but I literally break it down to the simplest basics possible. However, realistically it generally takes approx 6 months to be able to play several songs in a few different keys and maybe 2 years to be quite competent on guitar if you are consistent in your practice and follow the guidelines.
This course is well worth over €1000 that I am making available for a ONE-TIME SPECIAL PRICE of €97
