Why should you listen to me?
I have 11 years of experience which is really hard for me to condense into a single paragraph, but allow me highlight some key points…
•I have over 1 million combined views on my social media platforms, of which the majority come from my YouTube channel.•Music is my full time job, therefore I dedicate 100% of my energy and knowledge into projects like this course because it’s my most passionate interest.•I have personally taken lessons from (and performed with) some of the best guitar players and teachers IN THE WORLD such as Christophe Godin, Guthrie Govan, Tom Quayle, Andy Timmons, Paul Gilbert, Mika Tyyska, and Nick Johnston. These players, among many others, have shaped my playing and ability into what it is today.•I have been an active session musician and performer since my mid teens.
So how will these key points benefit me?
I realise that not everyone has the opportunity or money to watch the musicians I have mentioned above play live – let alone take lessons with them! I am also aware that there is no obvious and easy route to guitar mastery. With these points in mind, I have taken my knowledge and experience, and crafted it into guided, easy to follow video lessons. This course is genuinely something I wish I discovered in my earlier days of playing the guitar.
What makes this course any better than free YouTube lessons?
It can take so much effort and time searching through the web to find the relevant and correct information that you need to improve your guitar playing. YouTube is an incredibly useful tool, but it’s very easy to become overwhelmed and lost.
This course will make your learning process much more structured and engaging, and it’s exclusively tailored towards guitar theory! With my years of experience and array of positive testimonials and comments from my students, and on my youtube videos, you can be certain that I know what I’m talking about. Don’t waste time sifting through lessons that may not be teaching you the right or relevant things – “Practical Guitar Theory” is what you’ve been looking for.
Ok I’m interested, but what exactly does this course entail?
A lot! Let me give you an overview of the sections…
•Section 1 of this course covers the absolute basics of musical understanding and how to read. This knowledge is recommended as prerequisite knowledge, but just in case you’re an absolute newbie then this section will ease you in.
•Section 2 of this course focuses on Scale knowledge, which is the foundation of all music theory. In this section you will gain great confidence finding notes across the neck from scales such as: Minor Pentatonic, Major Pentatonic, and the 7 Modes of the Major scale. Not only will you be able to recall the notes from these scales quickly, but I will also teach you how to use the shapes with real-world examples, and I will also give you a greater understanding of how the notes work together using Interval awareness. By the end of this section you will be able to use these scales to aid your improvisation and melodic freedom.•Section 3 of this course focuses on Chord knowledge. We can use the previously learned Scale knowledge to help us construct Major, Minor, Diminished, and Augmented Chord shapes across the entire neck. Not only will you learn how to build these chords yourself, but you will also be able to understand their structure and how to play these chords in many different ways across of the neck. Towards the end of this section we will be able to combine all of the knowledge that we have learned so far into one visualisation method, helping you to navigate across the neck without your brain exploding!
•Section 4 of this course focuses on building Arpeggios. This section is almost like a blend of the previous two sections where we will learn how to build Major, Minor, Diminished, and Augmented arpeggios in different areas of the neck. Not only will I give you templates to work with but I will also teach you how to expand on this and create your own arpeggios. You can use this knowledge to highlight specific chord tones in your playing, which will compliment the chord you are trying to highlight.
•Section 5 of this course entails some bonus inspirational content that is relevant to the things that we’ve previously spoken about.
