Soloing for Beginners

5 Shapes of the Pentatonic Scale

Unlock the Fretboard and Start Soloing Anywhere

If you’ve ever felt stuck in one spot on the neck, this course is your breakthrough. The pentatonic scale is the most powerful tool in a lead guitarist’s toolbox—and in this course, I’ll walk you through all five shapes step by step. You’ll not only memorize the forms, but actually understand how they connect to roots, keys, and real songs. Once you see how the fretboard fits together, you’ll be able to move freely and confidently across the neck—no guesswork, no confusion.

Pentatonic Scale Exercises

Build Speed, Accuracy, and Melodic Flow—One Simple Pattern at a Time

Every guitarist wants to be better at soloing, so I put together my most useful and effective pentatonic exercises all in one course. We're going to dive deep into building melodies and phrases, but also improve your left and right hand techniques at the same time. Even better, each exercise can become part of your “couch routine”; something great to run through unplugged while you're watching TV. Run these patterns until you don't even have to think about them anymore!
I have been playing over 25 years and I still practice these to this day.

Beginner Blues

Lay the Foundation for Soloing with the Language of the Blues

Before you can play great solos, you need to understand the feel—and nothing builds that better than the blues. Beginner Blues is the ultimate starting point for learning the 12-bar form, essential riffs, soulful licks, and groovy rhythms that define the blues (and so much of rock and pop). Whether you're brand new or just want to lock in your fundamentals, this course gives you the tools to sound authentic and play with confidence. It’s the heart of the bundle—and the best blues course I’ve ever made.

Blues Rock Rhythm: Unleash the Power of Blues and Rock

Add Swagger and Groove to Your Rhythm Playing

If you want your rhythm guitar to sound like a real song, not just background strumming, this is your next move. In Blues Rock Rhythm, you’ll learn how to fuse the feel of blues with the edge of rock to create bold, dynamic riffs—just like Joe Bonamassa, Gary Clark Jr., and The Black Keys. You’ll build your own signature rhythm style using open-string power chords, groove-based patterns, and riff-driven techniques that go way beyond the basics. This course will help you sound like a band, even when you're playing alone.

Blues Slide Guitar

Discover a New Sound and Style with Soulful Slide Techniques

If you're looking to add something expressive, raw, and totally unique to your playing, slide guitar is the move—and this course makes it approachable and fun. You'll learn how to use Open E Tuning as your launchpad, master clean left-hand slide technique, and develop right-hand muting for that smooth, vocal-like tone. Whether you’ve never touched a slide or just want to bring new flavor to your lead playing, this course will open up a whole new world of sound and creativity.
