Micah Lipsmeyer is the man behind 90 Day Guitar. He is a professional musician based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He has always been passionate about music. For the past decade, he has made his mark as a full-time performing musician and guitar instructor.
Over the years, Micah has met people from all walks of life who have asked him, “How did you learn to play the guitar?” and “How long does it take to learn to play the guitar?” With this, he realized that there was a significant gap in what help people needed in order to learn and progress, and what help they came across online and even with live guitar instructors. They were not getting the necessary coaching prompts or guidance. Anyone can claim to be a teacher, but not everyone can be good at it. Just because someone is a great guitar player, that doesn’t make them good at helping others play on lower levels.
That said, after about a decade of helping hundreds of people in his hometown of Baton Rouge learn to play guitar via his private and group classes, Micah founded 90 Day Guitar in 2016. He envisioned the program as a systematic step-by-step program that would ensure that each participant had the basic skills needed to play real music on the guitar within 90 Days. Micah noted that other instructors often make the mistake of starting their teaching sessions with tasks that are already far too advanced for beginners or those with zero knowledge about playing the guitar. As a result, beginners are often at a loss on how to get to the next level of their training. They basically don’t know where they are going. Words of encouragement can only do so much. An effective teaching technique is needed.
Micah knows that you, as a new player, want to play songs on your guitar as quickly as possible. So, he uses the same steps and techniques he uses with his own students to naturally develop the skill, strength, and form required to play music on the guitar in the shortest amount of time possible.
