Stairway To Strumming is a step-by-step proven beginner guitar system created by pro guitarist Will Ripley — based on over 18 years of teaching experience.

It’s designed to take you from a total beginner to a solid intermediate player. What does intermediate mean? Will defines it as:

“The ability to play several songs start to finish — and having the guitar skills to perform confidently for others (even if your stage is just friends and family).”

You won’t just be learning random tips — you’ll follow a clear path that builds real musical skills: strumming, switching chords, playing songs, and getting ready to actually sound good on guitar.

Great question — and totally fair.

Most guitar courses jump way ahead too fast or leave beginners feeling lost in theory and random exercises. “Stairway To Strumming” is different because it’s based on real music and real momentum. You’ll be playing riffs and parts of songs within the first few lessons — not boring scales or drills.

This is a proven, step-by-step path that builds your rhythm, finger strength, and confidence, one module at a time.

After teaching hundreds of students, the one thing I truly believe is: it’s never too late to learn something you’re passionate about!

Stairway To Strumming is designed to give you great results, no matter your age. Heck, we’ve even shown this system to children AND seniors with awesome results - anyone who wants to play songs on the guitar and learn the trademark techniques can benefit from this course and system.

The primary song selections sound the most authentic on electric guitar. That being said, electric and acoustic guitars both have 6-strings and are tuned identically. So if you're on an acoustic, the songs and techniques that you’ll discover are able to be applied in the exact same way.

If you can kinda-sorta play chords but you’re still struggling to make them sound good, this course is for you.

Stairway To Strumming is especially helpful for players who:

• Struggle to switch chords smoothly

• Want their strumming to sound natural and not robotic

• Can’t figure out the right strum pattern

• Can't play full songs from start to finish

• Feel like their rhythm is stiff or awkward

Even if you’ve dabbled with guitar before, this will help you lock in your rhythm, clean up your changes, and sound way more musical.

You’re not on your own.

Stairway to Strumming works great on both electric and acoustic guitar. Will teaches the entire course on electric because many of the songs in the course sound most authentic that way. But the core techniques—chords, strumming, and rhythm—are exactly the same on either instrument.

So if you're on an acoustic, no worries—you’ll be able to follow every lesson and play every song just the same. 

Most students start noticing real improvement in just a few sessions—especially in rhythm, timing, and overall comfort with strumming and switching chords.

But this is a self-paced course, so you can move through it on your schedule, revisit lessons anytime, and steadily stack progress week by week.

And you’re not doing it alone.

With your free access to the Rip It Up Weekly Practice Plan, for an entire 3 months, you’ll get:

• Fresh new live lessons every week,

• Replay access so you never miss a thing,

• And support from me and our awesome guitar community to help you stay on track.

Plus, the jam tracks and full song walkthroughs inside the course make it easy to actually play music—not just practice exercises in isolation.
