Front
Porch Strumming offers a unique perspective into
learning how to strum your favorite songs easily,
using only common chords! ( That's right...common
chords!)
If
you are like me, I find it rather frustrating
at times learning how to play my favorite songs,
shuffling through page-after -page of archaic
tablature- when all I really want to do is
play just one song from
beginning to end without all the complication
and research it takes to do so.
Let's
Get One Thing Straight...
Front
Porch Strumming isn't just a beginner program.
Though you do play common chords at this member-only
website, that doesn't mean that the songs are
ALWAYS easy. However, by following my proven
method offered here at FPS, I will guarantee
that you will learn your favorite song in the
easiest way possible - or your money back!
You
Mentioned "Proven
Method"
...What Is This Method?
...The
key to learning your favorite song
is stripping it down and working with how
it SOUNDS, playing the basic chords that
are hidden in the song!
Many
times, these chords aren't even noticed, but
they provide the backbone of a song! This is
a must-know concept of any guitar player, yet
we seem to forget it.
Here
at FPS, I strive to deliver the very best portrayals
of every-day songs that you MUST know if you
are playing around a campfire, on your front
porch, in front of an audience, or even in
your leisure.
Think
Of Your New Life As A Respected Musician
Imagine
yourself at a party or maybe at school, your
guitar in hand, surrounded by people enjoying
your music, and even asking you to play more
for them. People always appreciate good music,
and you may just find yourself the center of
attention among your friends.
Or...imagine
yourself and your buddies putting a band together.
Due to your great new sound, bars and clubs
are actually calling to book you. People start
to recognize you as you walk down the street.
As you build a name for yourself, who knows?
People may even start coming to you for advice
or lessons! You may even end up on the radio!
There's
No Music Reading Knowledge Necessary!
We
get right to the good stuff. We teach you how
to play chords and strum on the guitar like
a pro without all that boring theory.
There
are sites out there that don't really grasp
the idea that you don't JUST want to learn
how to play your favorite song. You want to
learn how to make it your own. That's why we
are musicians.
--I
know how to lead the path to your future
as a musician,
--but
you truly have to want it!
You
won't find a program with this sort of depth
and range anywhere else on the Web that allows
you total control of your own creativity.
The
Magic In The Method
At
Front Porch Strumming, we don't bore you with
paper and pencil lessons. You start right out
with a guitar in your hand. By eliminating
the overly academic aspect of music training,
you will discover how to play more efficiently
than you could ever imagine! Thousands of
students from over 100 countries can't be wrong!
The
methods of teaching you see in our online member
area are totally hands on.
Presented
in a combination of:
- sound
files
- pictures
- diagrams
- graphs
- MP3
tracks
- VIDEO (NEW!
PIP video - the chords are right on
the video screen!)
We
guarantee to make everything absolutely clear.
If you don't understand something, just ask us.
We
offer excellent customer support and
continually monitor and update the site.

"...I have
searched hundreds of sites for a
single location that has everything
from chords, new tabs and a large
variety of music lessons and suggestions
for improving my skills. I took the
chance with a one time payment and
over a year later I'm still thrilled
to get the new updates that are emailed
to me regularly and make me want
to pick up my guitar every time I
get an email from them!
Keep it up Front Porch Guys!!..."
|

"...What
I really like about the video section
that is in conjunction with the strumming
method is you SEE finger position
and timing as well. Put this with
the lyrics and chords and you have
the whole picture of a song. I came
from Rison, Ar. and the old BACK
and Front porch of most ALL houses
were where we got the eyes, ears
and touching of strumming. Besides,
you can play it over and over. I
am 82 years YOUNG and this type of
instructions helps me in my solo
practice.
Thanks for including it on a great site!"...

"...Hi, I'm
a member of Guitar Alliance, Just
Acoustic and Guitar Mojo.I thought
I'd buy Front Porch Strumming because
I thought it would be worth it if
I learned "something" from
it. To my surprise, I'm finding that
I use Front Porch the most! I found
Just Acoustic to be a little too
hard for me. What I like about Front
Porch is playing lead and just jamming
along to the songs. I really have
a good time and also learned a lot
from this site..."
Thanks,
-- Nick Finoro.

"...Although
I don't really have much time to
go online since I paid my sub to
Front Porch Strumming, I don't at
all feel it is money wasted from
the few times I've been able to go
online and visit the site. It's well
laid out and easy to use for an old
Dino like me who was an adult before
pocket calculators existed, not to
mention computers..."
|
|
"...I really
enjoy using the video format to learn
new songs. It helps me to get the
timing down and the chords right.
If it hadn't been for this type of
training I would not be playing the
acoustic guitar yet. It is a definite
helping hand to learning..."
--Charles Hardy

"I like the
new format very much. It certainly
helps to have a visual aid to go
along with the chords and music..."

"...Hi, my
name is Dave and I've been a member
of FPS for a year and a half now.
I can honestly say FPS has been a
tremendous help in my guitar playing.
I've only been playing guitar for
2 yrs, so I'm still a beginner. My
friends who have been playing for
25+ yrs can't believe where I'm at
at this stage - alot of thanks to
FPS.
From the lessons section to the video lessons in the multimedia
section- to the Bonuses.
I have learned alot. FPS has everything the beginner needs
to get started.
Thanks Nathan..."

"...I joined
Front Porch strumming after a trial
email that they sent me. I am so
glad I joined. It has helped me learn
at my own pace, and able to actually
make music. I have never had a formal
lesson from anyone, and was struggling,
not being able to play anything.
What I like about the site is it
has easy, intermediate, and difficult
levels. I can see and hear my skills
improve. It also has a veriety of
songs, and music I probably would
not try, if it wasn't just a click
away. Now they have added multimedia
video's that are a great teaching
tool. I have really enjoyed and learned
so much from the site..."

"...Hello.
I am an old guy that plays the guitar.
I have enjoyed the song "He
Went To Paris" by Jimmy Buffett.
Requesting more like that song and
even more oldies.."
Thanks

"...Front Porch Strumming
has helped me greatly in the needed
skill to view another person as
he/she plays, moves from one chord
progression to another, strumming
techniques, timing, etc., especially
the practice of visualizing the
chords being played by the player
when following along to whatever
song is being played..."
|
|
"...Front
porch strumming is one of the best
sites on the internet for learning
a number songs by strumming and a
little finger picking. You can build
up quite a repetoire. I would recommend
it to anyone who wants to learn songs
the easy way..".

"...I've
been playing the guitar for only
about 6 months now. I can play a
few songs pretty good and can play
a lot chords. I like front porch
strumming the best. The recent song
you had on there by Jimmy Buffet "He
went to Paris" I learned it
in only one night. That's why I like
your site!..."

Remember
Two Things:
- We
all know that playing
chords are essential to guitar playing.
- We
all know that there's nothing like an
exact representation of a song.
However,
there's no reason NOT to learn your favorite
song just because you can't play like the artist,
or simply - like me - just want to 'make it
your own.'
DO
NOT box yourself in!
You'll
NEVER get any better if you don't experiment
with that special song and make it your very
own rendition.
Are
You A Basic Guitar Player And Have Trouble
With Rhythm?
Don't
worry. I have added a new feature to Front
Porch Strumming for beginners (and advanced
players alike)!
 Front-Porch-Friday!
I
want you to learn how to play your favorite
songs using only common chords so bad, that
I am willing to play a selected song once a
week, on Friday of every week.
(Since
this has been such a huge success, I
may even bump it up to three
times a week with enough new signups!)
Yes.
I am willing to hear the "yay" and "nay" from
everyone in our member area.
What
Does This Do For You?
By
me playing a song from beginning to end, with
on-screen video, audio, chord diagrams on the
page, and lyrics right under the chords, you
can play right along with me, which guarantees
that you can strum it up in no time at all!
I
have spent years and years playing at bars
and clubs, so I know what songs your audience
wants to hear, as well as what songs you NEED
to learn! If you are a solo performer, or spend
a great deal of time playing cover songs for
your audience, then FrontPorchStrumming.com
is most definitely your "Faker's Guide
To Strumming."
"WHOA...You
said 'Faker! I'm not a faker!"
It's
ok. It's a loose term. What "faker" means
is that you aren't playing the original transcription.
You are playing the emotion that comes from
the song, as well as the concept. This actually
allows you and maybe a fellow guitar player
to add a personal touch to your song arsenal.
For
example:
Have
you ever heard Dave Matthew's version of "All
Along The Watchtower" by Bob Dylan?
I know you have heard the Hendrix version.
How did these guys do it? Simple. Both
Dave Matthews and Jimi Hendrix took the
concept, and made it their own. It's that
easy.
Dave
plays the exact same chords that Dylan
does, but adds his own "groove" to
it, making it his.
Hendrix?....WOW.
Hendrix created entire lead patterns based
off of the simplest chord progressions,
changing the way this song sounds, feels,
and even tastes! (Ok. That's going out
on a limb, but boy it's fantastic!)
It's
a goal that you can
achieve with Front Porch Strumming. I promise.
Speaking
of Promises....
You
understand what Front Porch Strumming is all
about now.
Just the example above explains it all.
- You
CAN learn your favorite songs using only
common chords
- You
CAN create your own sense of style and emotion
with your own rendition
- You
CAN become a more proficient guitar player
today
Remember
Front
Porch Strumming will show you how to take usually
challenging songs and re-structure them easily,
playing only common chords.
