You already know some chords, scales, and riffs. The frustrating part is figuring out how to connect everything and actually make music with what you know.
These free lessons are designed around the problems guitar players run into after they’ve learned the basics. You’ll find practical ways to improve your rhythm, connect chords and scales, move around the fretboard, build better solos, understand progressions, develop your phrasing, and turn the things you already know into music.
Each lesson focuses on one clear idea you can take to the guitar and start using right away. There’s no need to start over. The goal is to help you understand what you’re already playing, fill in the missing connections, and keep moving forward.
New lessons are added regularly, so check back as the library continues to grow.
Clear direction. Real progress.
Below are my newest guitar lessons, created for players who already know some guitar but still feel like there are gaps between the things they’ve learned.
You may know chords, scales, riffs and songs, but still struggle to connect everything together when you actually sit down to play.
These lessons are designed to help you make those connections. We’ll work on things like moving around the fretboard, connecting rhythm and lead, making scales sound musical, understanding chord progressions, improving your phrasing, developing better rhythm, building stronger technique and learning how the different parts of guitar playing actually work together.
I’ve spent decades teaching guitar students one-on-one, and many players run into the same problems. They don’t necessarily need more random information. They need a clearer understanding of how the information they already have fits together and how to actually use it to make music.
That’s what these lessons are about.
New lessons are continually being added, so this page will keep growing. Pick something that addresses what you’re struggling with right now, grab your guitar and start playing.
And if you want to go deeper, there are even more free guitar lessons and complete playlists available throughout the site.
