I like that it’s not all strictly out of the book because sometimes the book can get boring

I’ve gotten so much out of these lessons then from any other guitar teacher. I actually enjoy picking up my guitar, than making it a chore like a used to. I actually want to play

My rhythm is NIGHT AND DAY different since our first lesson. Furthermore, you’ve helped me expand on what it really means to have good rhythm that isn’t just a simple 8th or 16th note strum.

So many teachers lack the patience or the knowledge to really help their students, and you couldn’t be further from that which is an amazing thing!

I feel that these guitar lessons are more than just lessons but more like a bond, or a friendship.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonLesson 1–2: Getting Started • Book Reference: • Hal Leonard: pp. 2–5 (parts of guitar, how to hold, tuning, first notes on strings).

Lesson 11+Hal Leonard: End of Book 1 / transition into Book 2 (sharps, flats, full melodies). • Alfred’s: More songs, fun riffs, intro to scales. • Your Add-On: Barre chords, power chords, fingerpicking or intro to soloing depending on interest. Build a 3–5 song setlist. • Goal: Student feels confident strumming songs, reading simple notation, and understanding chord progressions.

Lesson 4-10Hal Leonard: Review songs, rhythm reading, first duets. • Alfred’s: More complex songs, early ensemble work. • Your Add-On: Introduce F chord (with options: partial, mini-barre). Explore strumming variations (syncopation, worship strums). • Goal: Student can play a full song from book + strum along to a recording.

How it works

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonPhase 1: Technique Mastery • Scales & Modes • 3-notes-per-string major & minor scales across the neck. • Modes of the major scale (Ionian → Locrian). • Pentatonic scale extensions + connecting positions. • Arpeggios • Major, minor, dominant, diminished & augmented arpeggios. • Sweep picking & economy picking studies. • Chord Vocabulary • Expand beyond CAGED: 7th chords, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, altered dominants. • Drop-2 and drop-3 voicings. • Right-Hand Mastery • Alternate picking at high tempos. • Hybrid picking & fingerstyle.

Lesson 11+Phase 4: Performance & Musicianship • Repertoire Building • Learn & memorize 20+ advanced-level songs (across genres). • Apply advanced chords, fills, and solos. • Gig-Readiness • Playing with a click track. • Playing to tracks & loops (for church, pop, etc.). • Band dynamics (knowing when to support vs. shine). • Recording Skills • Building tones with pedals/modelers (Helix, ToneX, Kemper). • Recording clean DI tracks + amp sims. • Layering guitars in the studio.

Lesson 4-10Phase 3: Improvisation & Soloing • Improvisation Strategies • Target notes & chord tones. • Motivic development (create “themes” in solos). • Phrasing & space (don’t just shred — say something). • Style Studies • Blues phrasing (BB King box, Clapton licks). • Jazz soloing (ii–V–I lines, bebop scales). • Rock/fusion shred (legato, tapping, speed drills). • Ear Training • Transcribe 1 solo per month by ear. • Practice call-and-response improvisation.

Lesson 2-3Phase 2: Applied Theory & Fretboard Fluency • Nashville Number System (Advanced) • Quickly transpose songs on the fly. • Practice reharmonization (substitute chords). • Functional Harmony • Secondary dominants, borrowed chords, modal interchange. • Chord-scale relationships (what scales fit over each chord). • Fretboard Visualization • Seeing all notes instantly, in every position. • Playing chords/scales/arpeggios in any key, anywhere.
