Course Features
We put a lot of work into making these courses easy to follow, but most importantly effective. Here's a list of features this course offers.
-
Lick-By-Lick Organization
Learning a long solo is hard, so I break long solos into individual licks. Each lick is taught individually, and you'll always know where you're at.
The tabs clearly mark where each lick starts, so you can easily find the right spot.
-
Organized Lesson Format
Each solo in this course is taught in a similar format. The solo is broken into individual licks and each lick is taught the same way.
- First, you see a demonstration of the lick.
- Then, you see that same demo at 50% speed.
- Then I teach you the lick note-for-note
-
Chapter Markers
Long videos are hard to navigate, so we put chapter markers throughout, making it easier for you to skip to the section of the video you were last watching.
Our DVDs also have these chapter markers, you can skip around a lesson video using the Next and Previous controls.
-
Player's Perspective
The videos in this course are shot from the over-the-shoulder perspective that you'd use if you were trying to watch what someone was playing. This view allows you to take what you see and more easily translate it to your own guitar neck.
-
Tablature
This course comes with GuitarPro (and PDF) tablature. If you own the GuitarPro software, you can open and play these tablature files.
To make the tablature easier to navigate, I've inserted labels that clearly mark where each lick starts. These lick numbers match the lick numbers in the lesson videos.
-
Instant Downloads
As soon as you buy this course, you'll be able to download a zip file containing the entire course. The files are not encrypted, locked, or protected in any way. You own them forever.
- If this course includes tablature, it will be provided in GuitarPro and PDF Format.
- If this course includes a backing track, it will be provided in MP3 format.
-
iPads / Tablets
Because we use standard video and audio formats, you can download our courses onto iPads, or other tablets. You just need an app (like Goodreader) that can download and unzip files.
