Learn To Sound Great Every Time You Play
Short acoustic and fingerstyle guitar courses with 1-on-1 coaching focused on the skills to play songs
Clear And Focused Lessons
There is a lot of information about guitar on the internet. Too much. It can quickly become overwhelming, and a lot of it you really don't need to know
We make simple and specific lessons to show novice guitarists how to play songs effortlessly, and sound great when they play.
Just the essentials that most consistently and reliably get the best results for our students
Personal Feedback & Motivation
The Hybrid Guitar Method
Whether you're a beginner or a pro, the fastest way to improve is with coaching. Good coaching.
But normal live lessons are expensive and can be inconvenient if you have a busy life
That's why we invented the hybrid guitar method - combining the best parts of in-person lessons and online courses.
In our courses you get a real guitar teacher to keep you motivated and focused - an expert who can quickly see the technique details you missed and help you fix it instantly.
Combine this with a structured online course that guides you every step of the way and you have the most effective path to learn guitar
Consistently Sound Great
It's easy to find lessons on chord shapes, strumming patterns, or song tabs. But it's an entirely different skill to make it sound good repeatably.
Are you confident that when you go to learn a song, it will sound how you expect it to in your head?
Can you play without making mistakes and messing up notes or chords?
Do you get regular compliments from friends and family about how good you sound?
This is a core part of all our courses. We won't just give you information, but actually teach you to the far more rare skills of playing consistently and sounding great every time you play
