Courses + TAB
Acoustic + Electric Guitar Courses
Beginner Acoustic
In the beginner acoustic course, you’ll learn how to play nine complete tunes using video lessons, TAB, and loops to practise along with.
As well as the step-by-step lessons, there are a further 44 beginner tunes with TAB for you to explore.
Beginner Electric
As the beginner electric course is still being developed, I’m uploading the tunes I’m considering so you can offer feedback.
You can check them out now as mini-lessons with TAB, similar to the bonus content found in each course.
Intermediate Acoustic
In the intermediate acoustic course, we unlock the fretboard using the CAGED system to explore each tune.
Once you’ve completed the step-by-step lessons, there are 96 more tunes to try, all available with TAB.
Intermediate Electric
Complete the intermediate electric course and you’ll map out the fretboard while learning how to create guitar parts that work in a band setting.
In the step-by-step course, you’ll play along with a band I recorded live in the studio. Once finished, there are a further 115 tunes to explore with full TAB.
Advanced Acoustic
In the advanced acoustic course, we explore extended chords and unique voicings using open strings. A few solos and second guitar parts are also incorporated.
After completing the step-by-step lessons, you can dive into another 43 tunes, each with full TAB.
Advanced Electric
The advanced electric course has been in development for many years and is designed to be a natural progression from the intermediate course.
As I decide which tunes to include, they’re made available here as mini-lessons with TAB. If you’re learning one of these for a gig, that might be all you need!
Self-Eliminating Practice Routines
Arpeggios
There are four essential arpeggios to learn on the guitar: min7, maj7, dom7, and the notoriously awkward min7b5.
In the arpeggios course, we master all of these across every CAGED shape using highly efficient exercises.
Chord Progression
These lessons don’t involve any exercises. Instead, we explore how to describe chords when they appear in sequence and form progressions.
The chord progression course uses a combination of the major scale (with Roman numerals) and blues language to analyse harmony in popular music.
Chords
The powerful CAGED system is the most effective way to organise the guitar fretboard. It explains all chords and expands seamlessly into arpeggios and modes.
Simply follow the eight steps in the chords course — it might just be the best thing you ever do for your understanding of the guitar.
Chromatic + Sweeping
The chromatic and sweeping exercises will address any issues you have with synchronising your left and right hands while picking.
Take the chromatic + sweeping course to improve your accuracy, build speed, and develop your rhythmic reading skills.
Major Scales
Using the CAGED system as our foundation, we start with five major pentatonic shapes and develop them into the major modes.
This self-eliminating practice routine is structured as an eight-step major scales course — all you need to do is put in the time.
Minor Scales
As with the major course, we begin with the CAGED system to build five minor pentatonic shapes and expand these into the minor modes.
In this eight-step minor scales course, you’ll master all the minor scales and their modes. TAB is provided throughout — although once you grasp the concept, you won’t need it!
