author:  Nicolas Carter 
description: Hi there, Nicolas here. I'm all about continuous life-improvement and discovering your true-self so that we can find and attract beauty into our lives, be the best we can be, and enjoy life as much as possible. I have a passion for writing and publishing and that's why you can find me here. I write about the topics where I can share a lot of value and that interest me the most. Those include: learning and playing guitar, personal development, fitness, swimming, calisthenics, healthy lifestyle, ecology, meditation, and so on. With over 10 years of experience playing guitar I have to say I've learned quite a lot on the subject. I'm really proud now that I have this opportunity to share all the knowledge I've accumulated over the years and help you learn guitar in the best way possible. Let me just say that any book or a course which claims you can master guitar in a day, week or month is a lie or a simple marketing gimmick. Learning guitar requires your perseverance and your patience, both of which are fueled by your strong desire to play. This is a journey which never ends, and as such, it is one of the most rewarding ones you can take! With that being said, it is reasonable to expect to play a simple song in a few weeks after starting out, but it will take some dedicated work on your part. I really wish to provide my readers with great value and for my books to be a source of inspiration to you. I'm sure that you will enjoy them and find lots of benefits! Stay tuned for some awesome books! Wish you all the best, Nicolas Carter
