Acoustic + Electric Guitar Courses
Beginner Acoustic
Start playing real songs from day one with the Beginner Acoustic Guitar Course, featuring step-by-step lessons that build solid foundations in open chords, strumming, and fingerstyle.
Accurate TAB, bite-sized lessons, and a structured progression help you build skills and confidence while creating a repertoire you’ll actually want to play.
Intermediate Acoustic
Explore more of the fretboard with the Intermediate Acoustic Guitar Course, learning barre chords, CAGED shapes, melody, and complete guitar parts through a wide range of songs.
Each lesson combines accurate TAB with practical, step-by-step guidance, helping you develop your technique and musicality while expanding your repertoire.
Intermediate Electric
Master the foundations of electric guitar with the Intermediate Electric Guitar Course, combining CAGED shapes, pentatonic scales, rhythm, riffs, and solos in a live-band setting.
With accurate TAB and bite-sized lessons, you’ll learn to apply these skills in real musical contexts while building a repertoire of classic Motown and Soul tunes.
Advanced Acoustic
Push your acoustic playing further with the Advanced Acoustic Guitar Course, exploring complex chords, modes, arpeggios, and full song arrangements.
Detailed lessons and accurate TAB help you refine your technique, phrasing, and musical expression while adding challenging and rewarding songs to your repertoire.
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 the time in.
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 modes. TAB is provided throughout — although once you grasp the concept, you won’t need it!
