  • Hear & Play Advanced Guitar 301 – NOW AVAILABLE!

    Hear & Play Advanced Guitar 301 is now available! The structure of "Advanced Guitar 301 - Licks, Tricks, and Solos" is pretty straightforward. We essentially cover 4 genres of music: Funk, Gospel, R&B, and Jazz. In each of those genres, we start by teaching you the underlying chords that make up the patterns you're hearing. So if you're in the "funk" section, you'll start by learning the funk chords he's using as a bare minimal (even beginners can benefit from this part). Then we proceed to break down 5 unique riffs, runs, licks, or tricks you can play over these same chords. In fact, the underlying chords and patterns hardly change. But you learn dozens of ways to approach improvising over them. We do this for funk, r&b (soul), gospel (shouting music), and jazz. By the end, you'll have 20 professional, advanced soloing licks you can pull out the cupboard at any time. Click here for more information on the course
