Get comfortable and have fun from day one: open chords, strumming and rhythm, reading basics, posture and hand position, timing, and your first real songs.

Connect the dots across the neck: barre chords, the CAGED system, scales and lead vocabulary, fretboard fluency, ear training, and focused style studies.
CH.03
Advanced
Become a complete musician: harmony and theory, improvisation, jazz language, sight-reading, composition and arranging, and performance preparation.
// Styles
One teacher, many genres.
Jimmy started out playing rock and metal, then studied jazz and classical formally in college, and has played everything from blues to musical theater. That wide range of musical experience means you can explore widely or go deep into a style you love.

// The method
Guitar GPS — always know where you are on the neck.
Jimmy is the author of Guitar GPS, a guitar method book that has now been directly integrated into this website for easy, intuitive access to the lesson material, without the need to buy a separate book. New materials will be added regularly, making it an ever-expanding resource. Along with the Guitar GPS material, you get a comprehensive set of free practice tools to use between lessons.
