ZAGER STORY

Denny Zager is part of the legendary recording duo “Zager & Evans” who wrote “In
The Year 2525,” the #1 song of 1969 and the biggest one-hit wonder of any artist
at any time in recording history selling over 20 million records world wide.You
may have seen Denny featured in Time Magazine, Newsweek Magazine, and The New
Yorker. Denny has been asked to make numerous television appearances
including The Tonight Show, The Ed Sullivan Show, The Dick Cavett Show, Top Of
The Pops, The Music Scene with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and he was
also one of the few musicians asked to play at Woodstock in 1969 with Jimmy
Hendrix, Santana, and The Grateful Dead.




HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Denny began playing guitar in 1949. He taught himself how to play the hard
way…listening to songs on the radio and practicing hours every day. Years later
he began writing his own material getting local air play and at the age of 15
had the #1 song in the 4 state area.

Over the next decade he put together several well known local bands…“The
Devilles“ and “The Eccentrics.” When looking for a guitar player for the
Eccentrics Denny discovered Rick Evans and soon after they formed their own
duo “Zager & Evans“ who produced “In The Year 2525.”

After touring around the world Denny came back to his roots in Nebraska and
focused on his one true passion…the guitar. If you know the music industry
you’ve probably noticed that some people are in the business for fame and
fortune while others are there for the love of the music.

Denny simply loved playing guitar and performing was an avenue that allowed him
to do it. Unfortunately Denny was never comfortable in the spotlight which is
why he retired from performing and began doing what he loved most …creating
music and showing others how to do it.


THE ZAGER LEARNING SYSTEM

In 1972 Denny began teaching his son how to play and decided there had to be a
better way to learn guitar then using the old boring notes and scales routines.
Denny was never able to grasp those methods because he suffered from dyslexia.
(A condition in which the brain reads things out of order) He wanted to create a
system that was exciting and focused around playing by ear…the same way pro
musicians played.

Denny created a system that was unlike anything ever seen before. Instead of
tedious hours of reciting notes and scales Denny’s system focused on showing the
student how to play a song right away.

Denny remembered one of his most exciting moments growing up was the day he
could play a really popular song that was on the radio. He would play this song
for his friends and this excitement and sense of accomplishment fueled his
passion for the guitar even greater.


LEARNING BY EAR

Denny’s guitar system focuses on learning by ear (like pros play) but he
simplified it similar to the paint by number coloring books you used as a child.
The spaces labeled 1 you painted yellow, the spaces labeled 2 you painted blue,
and so on, and when you finished you didn’t know exactly how you did it but you
had a beautiful picture that was far beyond your natural abilities.

Denny’s Guitar system is the same in that it can show anyone how to play guitar
and sound far beyond their natural abilities in a very short period of time.

Students often say “The music’s flowing naturally from my fingers… but I don’t
know how I’m doing it!”  Denny’s guitar system taps into that part of our brain
that scientists say we gain all our power from but rarely use.

From 1972 to 2000 (almost 3 decades) Denny taught thousands of people how to
play using his revolutionary guitar method, constantly tweaking his system
making it easier to use.  If you were a resident of Nebraska or the tri state
area and played guitar during that time there was a very high likelihood that
you learned to play using the Zager Guitar method.


ZAGER EZ-PLAY GUITARS

Teaching so many people how to play Denny noticed that if there was one thing
holding his students back it was always the guitars they were trying to learn
with.

Denny began working on guitars in the late 60’s when he was having problems
playing because his fingers were sore. He was making mistakes missing chords
because his fingers couldn’t take the abuse of practicing during the day and
performing at night.

Denny spoke with the largest guitar manufacturers in the U.S. and even had his
guitars “set up” by guitar luthiers (people who build and adjust guitars) yet he
was still dissatisfied with his guitars playability.

Denny finally decided to take matters into his own hands and began modifying his
guitar in a way that had never been done before.


THE 10 YEAR REBUILD

 * In 1969 Denny rebuilt the neck on his guitar giving it a low oval shape
   unlike any guitar on the market at that time.
 * In 1970 he replaced the frets using a softer, smaller gauge of fret wire.
 * In 1971 he began testing saddles and by 1972 he had created a custom saddle
   that he matched with a custom designed nut.
 * In 1973 he began lowering string heights and realized how much easier his
   guitar played when his strings were lower on the fretboard.
 * In 1974 he tested bracing systems and soon after created his own bracing
   system that produced a huge sound with a light touch.
 * In 1975 he tested string gauges and how they not only affected sound quality,
   but also playability.
 * In 1978 he experimented with string spacing and realized how much faster he
   could move on the fretboard when the strings were properly spaced.


THE RESULTS

Over a 10 year period Denny had literally rebuilt his guitar from scratch and
the results were astounding. After comparing the biggest brands on the market he
realized playability on his guitars was improved approximately 50%.

Not only that, his guitars sounded richer, clearer, and more robust. Over the
next decade Denny would continue testing, constantly revising and upgrading his
guitars, and it wasn’t before long that his students began using them.

The results Denny’s students had with these guitars was incredible. Chords and
measures that once took weeks to learn were now mastered in days.

Using the Zager Teaching Method his students were already learning at a rate
faster than any other, but when combined with Denny’s custom guitars their
learning curve skyrocketed.

Denny realized his students were able to practice 3 to 5 times longer simply
because their fingers were no longer in pain.

Denny also discovered from his own playing that he could do things on his
guitars that he couldn’t do on other guitars. Riffs and chords that seemed
impossible before were now easy. The speed at which he moved on the fretboard
increased significantly and he became a much better player.

Veteran professionals and artists were now demanding his guitars because they
could play longer, move faster, and enjoy playing more.

Over the next 20 years Denny modified thousands of guitars honing his skills and
eventually launched his own brand of custom“Easy Play” guitars.


GOING ONLINE

In the mid 1990’s with the advent of the Internet Denny’s son (Dennis Jr.) came
up with the idea of creating a guitar web site where players of all levels could
learn from his father’s 50 years of experience via a library of videotaped
guitar lessons. It would also give players the opportunity to try Denny’s custom
guitars.

The web site was an immediate hit. Players from all over the world began
learning from Denny “online” and ordering his guitars.

Denny attributes the success of his business to the 30 years of fine tuning he
did on his inventions helping thousands of players locally.

“My guitars and learning system had already been used successfully by thousands
of players for over 3 decades…The Internet was simply an avenue for more players
to find me.” 


TODAY

Today Denny is recognized as one of the premier guitar builders in the USA. He’s
spent over 50 years refining his “Science” to a level that professional
musicians and guitar builders consider absolutely astounding.

One company (one of the oldest guitar makers in the world) recently reviewed a
Zager Guitar and proclaimed it to be “the easiest playing guitar they had ever
tested.”


THE FUTURE

Denny plans on building more guitars with his son Dennis Jr. launching several
new models for 2019. Denny also plans on spending more time in the recording
studio creating new videos for his guitar lesson library.
