Sounding like your favorite players is more than just cool guitar effects and pedals, which we include in the Raw Talent® Guitar system; it’s about professional techniques and tricks of the trade.


Many professional techniques and methods of play fall outside of what’s necessary to learn the guitar, including drop-D tuning, harmonics or alternate strumming patterns.  These are professional tips compiled specifically for the Raw Talent® system by your instructor, Pádraig O’Kane, and include the techniques he has taught his students, some of whom have toured with Shakira and Cheyenne.


These are the same techniques used by professionals, and are skills that will take you from average garage band player to professional musician.
