About This Course

Who this course is for:

  • Guitar enthusiasts
  • Anyone interested in learning how to play the guitar

What you’ll learn: 

  • Master your fretboard, understand music theory, and most importantly, how to use these tools to craft your own unique sound

Requirements: 

  • No prior knowledge is required to take this course

This course is a four part, interactive, step-by-step, all HD video course which teaches you everything you need to play with complete confidence and control in any genre of music!

Course includes 135 video and audio lectures with over 9 hours of content.

Professional players don’t “hunt and peck” or play without a plan. If you’re getting paid to do studio work, tour with a working band, or even just play out in you local town, you need to know your instrument front and back, and know how to sound like you. This course is designed to give you exactly that.

Get beyond tabs. Get beyond memorizing note for note. Learn how to improvise and play with ease around the fretboard!

No tricks or gimmicks! If you follow the course and work hard, you will feel confident playing in any genre, over any changes, with anyone, anywhere, and be able to put your own personality into the music! It’s really not that difficult if you try!

For the price of one month of private guitar lessons, you can have unlimited lifetime access to a world class guitar curriculum with real individual feedback from a professional instructor!

I am a GIT graduate, have been working professionally for over 15 years, and have taught 1000’s of students. And no, I’m not counting YouTube!

No matter where you are in your playing, this course will fill in the “gaps” and break down the neck and music theory in a simple, and most importantly, applicable way.

While this course is geared to players with at least 6 months of experience, you will go from the very beginning to playing over complex non-diatonic changes leaving no stone unturned. There isn’t a more comprehensive course available anywhere.

After completing this course, if you wanted, you will have the tools to be a working professional guitarist… Or, you could just be a great guitar player and have a TON of fun. Either way, I personally GUARANTEE you won’t find another course as streamlined, simple, and effective as this one. I’ve spent my whole professional life crafting this unique approach to the guitar, and I stand by it 100%.
