• Song Guides

  Song Guide courses are an excellent first step to understanding a song. Instead of just teaching you the song note-for-note, I teach you how to understand the song. You’ll learn about the progressions, a detailed breakdown of the song’s structure, and the themes used for rhythm and soloing.

• Breakdowns

  A Breakdown Course is a note-for-note breakdown of a performance modeled after a specific song. Unlike the Quick Fix courses, the Breakdown courses do have the note-for-note teaching of each lick.

• Quick Fixes

  Certain players learn faster by watching and imitating, without listening to the teacher (me) explain every note. For those players, I’ve created several Quick Fix courses. Because there’s no talking, these courses present longer performances broken down into individual licks. Each lick is shown at full speed and then at half speed. These courses are for self-directed students who know they learn fastest by observation.
