"I love how this is laid out. The play-along aspect has kept me super focused, the rhythmic motifs have brought me a lot of joy, and the subconscious ear training that's happening is exciting!"

"This course is really fantastic. Nicely laid out and well thought through. I like how it's centred on learning an approach in the same area of the fretboard; this has helped me to connect patterns and motifs together."

Discover the Freedom of Jazz Improvisation — Without the Confusion!
Jazz improvisation seems like the ultimate freedom on guitar — expressive, dynamic, and limitless. But when trying to learn it, it often feels like a mysterious dark art rather than a step-by-step process. Endless theory, confusing jargon, and contradictory advice make it hard to know where to start or how to progress.
Does This Sound Like You?
You Love Jazz Guitar But...
- You have a family, responsibilities, and limited time to practice.
- Finding a great teacher is expensive (often $100+ per lesson) and requires weekly commitment.
- YouTube offers thousands of videos, each claiming to be "the answer," but they often leave you confused, overwhelmed, or stuck in theory.
- You struggle to stay disciplined, organize practice time, and make progress in the limited time you have to yourself.
The Result?
You circle in frustration — running modes up and down, recycling the same licks, and eventually shelving the dream until the next burst of inspiration.
But here’s the truth: The problem isn’t you. It’s the process.
Anyone can tell you what to practice. Few can show you. Rarer still is the teacher who will practice it with you...

Why This Course Is Different
Most online guitar courses will teach you a concept and tell you to go practice it.
For those of us with little experience of how to practice and little time to do it, this can cause major frustration, preventing us from staying motivated. We often lose steam after a few weeks and give up.
The ABC's Of Jazz Guitar is structured around guided practice.
This means you won’t wonder what to practice or for how long. Just follow the guided sessions that walk you through each step, building your skills day by day.
Learn like the greats did — through apprenticeship, not lectures!
Â
It features a structured, 30-day guided practice course that:
- Transforms you from a blues & rock player to confident jazz improviser
- Fits your schedule with achievable 20-minute daily practice sessions
- Uses science-backed methods for faster progress in less time
- Involves limited theory, tons of practical tips, and NO MODES OR LICKS TO MEMORIZE
Â
Why This Course Works
Our Fast Results Come From Focused Simplicity.
Â
The course is structured around:
→ One scale (the Major Scale)
→ One position (the "E" CAGED position)
→ One song (a classic jazz standard you can call at any jam session)
This allows you to learn real jazz language in a focused way — then apply it anywhere.
