Before we talk

Check the fit. Choose a realistic starting point here. Beginners and returning players are welcome.
Tell me about your music. For coaching, choose a call time in Cal.com and complete the booking form. Share your goal, roadblock, practice time, start timing and setup in the questions or additional notes.
Watch your email. Follow the confirmation instructions from Cal.com. Your answers give Doug context before the free 30-minute conversation. Booking a fit call does not purchase coaching.

The fit call is a conversation about coaching. If you want a working guitar lesson with a recording, recap and custom diagram, choose the $90 Clarity Session.
