Why I Made play with a plan
Becoming a great guitarist is one of the best things I’ve done for myself in my life. I gives me so much joy it almost feels unfair. I want more people to feel the joy I do and express themselves like they imagine in their minds.
I believe this is the best way I can help you achieve this. And funny enough, the more people who joins, the more time I'll be able to spend on this and help other guitarists reach their goals. So your support is truly appreciated and I hope to see you inside!

About me
If you haven't been following me on my socials, you might ask who I am. My name is Simen Otnes and I’m a guitarist, music producer and graphic designer from Norway. Already when I started playing guitar at the age of 12, I wrote practice journals and obsessed about achieving my guitar goals. I believe there are some skills you need to work harder for (such as technical skills), but sometimes it’s just about knowing the right things, which is crazy to me.
I have played in around 10 different bands in Norway and the UK, played hundreds of gigs, including some of the biggest stages in Norway. I have a bachelor’s degree in music from LIPA (The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) which looks good on paper. Hooray. I'm also a professional graphic designer.

Frequently asked questions
Just follow the success path and you’re good!
Yes. For example, it’s impossible to understand the theory behind chords if you don’t understand the major scale first. Stuff like this is really hard to know unless someone tells you about it.
Each course goes into a specific topic (for example: Master the Major Scale). Most lessons inside the courses will have: A video lesson, 1-3 exercises and a challenge.
The video lesson will teach you something new. This is straight-to-the-point and around 5 minutes. Then 1-3 perfectly designed exercises to make sure you actually get better at what you just learned. Lastly, a challenge to make sure you truly understand what you just learned. This will also make sure you can actually use it in real music. Implementation is key.
Yes, all you have to do is to follow the success path.
Here’s a little secret: Research suggests that we learn the best when we feel challenged, not when we feel things are easy. If you practice the right things, put in the work and actually challenge yourself, it’s almost impossible to not become better. All courses inside the success path have challenges to do just this.
If you don't see any improvements within 30 days, send me a message and I'll refund you. Play With a Plan is 100% risk-free. The only risk is literally that you keep practicing the same things and don't see a lot of progress.
Electric guitar players who want a step-by-step path to consistently improve their playing.
It's not suitable for complete beginners at this point (but it will be in the future). The courses are made with electric guitar in mind, but a lot is obviously transferable to acoustic guitar. It's also not suitable for people who likes slow progress ;)
If you're playing guitar just for fun and look for some inspiration and new ideas, that's also completely fine. If you want to reach a professional level, that's also possible with Play With a Plan.
