My Thanksgiving Ballad Course has been updated and expanded for 2025. The biggest change is that the entire course is now in Standard Tuning, and I’ve added a great new module called Solo Breakthrough that guides you through learning and hitting the right target notes over each chord.
You’ll learn an entire performance of the song in the Performance Breakdown module. 43 licks in total, each of them isolated, demonstrated in slow-motion, and then taught note-for-note.
In the Rhythm Study module, you’ll learn alternate chords, strumming, and over 20 different Hendrix-style chord embellishments.
