If you’ve spent months or years learning songs but still freeze at chord changes, lose the beat, or can’t get a passage up to speed, the problem probably isn’t lack of effort. You’ve never been given a reliable way to turn that effort into musical understanding or physical ability.


Taplature is a beautifully simple method for doing exactly that. The music you love is used to expose the skill that needs work but the song itself is almost irrelevant. The method works on any style, any level, and any musical challenge.

What's on your "to do" list today?

HOW TO GET FASTER ON GUITAR LESSON.png

Most guitar lessons show you what to play.

Taplature shows you: first how to make things playable and then - easy!

Break any musical challenge into a tiny, representative unit.

Understand it. Can you tap and count out loud while playing it perfectly?

Measure your top perfect speed. Then practise to beat that speed to prove you're getting better.

Every practice session gives you one of two things: a higher top perfect speed, or clear evidence about what needs to change next.

Either way, you move forward - every day!

  • Natural Rhythm Built by Design
    Taplature makes rhythm on guitar feelable, not theoretical.

     

  • Rock-solid Chord Changes with Tap Timing
    Every finger move happens with the beat, like a machine!

     

  • Real Practice, Not Boring Drills – Learn riffs, solos, songs using easy, rhythm-first building blocks pulled from the songs you love.
