Hi, I’m Greg O’Rourke
BMus (Hons), ANU
Professional Jazz Guitarist, and Founder of FretDojo.com
If you’re like most jazz guitarists, you feel like your playing is stuck in a rut. It feels like your playing hasn’t improved in years – in fact, sometimes it feels like you’ve gotten worse. Sure, you might have tried a few Youtube videos or websites to get your skills up a notch, but it was impossible to piece everything together in a way that made sense.
First off, I want to say I know what it feels like. Learning to play jazz guitar can seem so confusing and complicated – there seems to be so much theory to learn, so many chord voicings, so many licks and scale patterns – the list goes on.
I’m a professional guitarist that has worked in the music industry for over 25 years, and I developed the FretDojo Jazz Guitar Academy with all this in mind.
The lessons inside the FretDojo Academy Gold Membership covers everything from soloing, chord melody, comping, to chord soloing and more – and you’ll do all this whilst dramatically building your set list at the same time. I look forward to seeing you on the inside!
“Greg O’Rourke plays the guitar with a beautiful touch and tone. He effortlessly brings out and enhances harmonic movement and counter-lines in his playing, while keeping clear melodic lines in the forefront. Using his considerable fingerstyle technique he creates personal renditions of classic jazz standards. Definitely someone to watch and listen to closely!”

The FretDojo VIP Club’s foundation is developing your jazz skills through studying jazz standards to build your repertoire. The Tunes Series courses are fun, concise guides to developing your set list whlle learning key jazz guitar concepts along the way.
The Deep Dive Series features in-depth instruction on a particular jazz guitar skill, such as comping, chord melody, improvisation approaches and more. Often we focus on a well-known guitarists style and break it down to extract key concepts. These courses are presented by Greg O’Rourke along with several other FretDojo instructors.
Don’t Take My Word For It!
Gordon Hooper, Johannesburg, South Africa
“I’ve participated in TWO 12 week courses with an internationally famous music university…I can safely say the investment in lessons with Greg has been worth more than 95% of all the other formal and informal education I’ve managed to derive for myself.”

Frequently Asked Questions
So what exactly is included as part of my Gold Membership?
Your membership will include access to a HUGE library of high-quality video based lessons on all aspects of learning jazz guitar – improvisation, comping, theory, chord melody – the works.
You’ll also have the ability to get your questions answered about any aspect of the material with our Gold Member Only Q&A’s and workshops
Through joining up, you’ll have the three pillars of learning at your fingertips: a qualified teacher, step-by-step learning materials, and a supportive community.
Is the Academy for players more advanced than myself?
This Academy is unique because it caters to all skill levels of jazz guitar, no matter where you are in your journey.
What lessons will I have access to in the Academy when I join?
Regardless of when you sign up, you’ll have access to ALL of the previous lessons added to the Academy Course Library – it’s all rolled into your membership. You’ll continue to have access to all the previous courses released as long as your membership is active. You’ll also have first access to any new courses released in FretDojo in the future.
What other benefits does the FretDojo Gold Membership provide?
In addition to the great multimedia lesson materials that have become a hallmark of the FretDojo, you’ll also have the additional benefit of being able to interact with ME directly. There will also be opportunities for getting feedback from special guest jazz guitarists, some of the highest calibre players the world over.
Not only that, you’ll also have access to a truly supportive community, with all the friendships and good connections that comes along with that. Jazz guitar can be a lonely pursuit at times – but it no longer needs to be.
What is the skill/knowledge level that’s required? Do you cater for beginner, intermediate, and advanced jazz students?
Although this Academy isn’t suitable for complete beginners at guitar (e.g if you’ve only been playing for a few months), it caters for all levels of jazz guitar skill, even beginner jazz players. No matter where you’re at in your journey, there is relevent material in the curriculum to get you started.
How much theory do I need to know already?
I’ll be keeping this side of things as simple as possible, so that you can have the bare bones of the theory and still be able to get straight to the point – making great music.
For those of you interested in the theory side of things, I feature “deep dive” lessons on theory throughout. But if you find it’s over your head, shift your focus more to learning and internalizing the material covered, rather than the theory so much. You can always come back and look closer at the theoretical elements of jazz when it becomes more relevant to you.
Do I need to be able to read music?
No – It’s not necessary to read music notation for the lessons. At any rate, TAB is provided for all the musical examples as well as the notation, if you’re more familiar with reading tablature.
How is this different from the other offerings out there?
There’s a lot of reasons.
Firstly, I really care about my students, and I know how hard it is to find high-quality learning materials on jazz guitar. There is a big difference between materials that appear to help make you a better player, and those that actually do. From my experience, it takes far more time, thought and energy to create materials that actually help students achieve their goals rather than pretend to.
I want you to succeed and be happy with your jazz guitar playing, so I put a great deal more effort into my lessons than others do. I also strive to have a clear, step-by-step approach to teaching in order to make the learning process as easy as possible for you.
The result: I believe my lesson materials are of the highest caliber, and a big step ahead of other offerings out there.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime? Are there any extra fees for canceling?

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included in the FretDojo Jazz Guitar Academy?
Your membership includes access to a large library of high-quality video-based jazz guitar courses, with accompanying PDFs of notation/TAB and backing tracks. The library is expanded every month to include a new course, usually focused around learning a classic jazz standard and developing your soloing, comping and chord melody skills (and more) along the way.
Joe Pass was adamant that his students ‘learn as many tunes as they can’, so I’ve followed in his footsteps and ensured that no matter what you learn in the Academy, it’s directly applicable to a specific jazz standard. That way you can build your set list alongside developing core jazz guitar techniques and soloing approaches. From time to time, we also release deep dive topics with incredible guest instructors.
You’ll also get access to regular live workshops and Q&A sessions with fantastic guest instructors and myself, and an online community with other Academy members.
Plus, we now have a huge jazz lick dictionary called the “Licktionary”: a searchable database of cool sounding jazz licks to use in your solos.
Through joining up to the Academy, you’ll have the three pillars of learning at your fingertips: a qualified teacher, step-by-step learning materials, and a supportive community.
What happens if I can’t attend the live workshops and Q & A sessions?
No problem – if you can’t attend for whatever reason, you can still submit questions in advance and I’ll respond to them in the session. I’ll then post you a recording of the session afterward so you don’t miss out.
Do I need to be able to read music?
All the musical examples include TAB alongside the full traditional music notation in case you can’t read music, so it’s not necessary to be able to read music.
Are the courses self-paced?
Yes! All courses in the Academy are completely self-paced so you can learn on a schedule that suits you.
Is there a minimum commitment? Can I cancel my subscription to the FretDojo Jazz Guitar Academy anytime? Are there any extra fees for canceling?
Access to the Academy is on a month-by-month payment arrangement. Don’t worry – you’re not locked into any months you haven’t paid for and there is no minimum commitment to joining. You can cancel your membership at any time with no extra charges or hidden fees. When you cancel, you can keep all the materials you’ve already downloaded from the Academy website and take them with you.
What skill level on jazz guitar is required?
I cater for all skill levels in the Academy courses. I achieve this by creating a wide range of videos and learning material for each course that will feature material suitable for your level. There is a range of skill level in the membership so I ensure that I cater for whatever point in the jazz guitar journey you might be on.
How is this different from the other offerings out there?
There’s a lot of reasons.
Firstly, I really care about my students, and I know how hard it is to find high-quality learning materials on jazz guitar. I’m painfully aware there is a big difference between materials that appear to help make you a better player, and those that actually do. From my experience, it takes far more time, thought and energy to create materials that actually help students achieve their goals rather than pretend to.
I want you to succeed and be happy with your jazz guitar playing, so I put a great deal more effort into my lessons than others do. I also strive to have a clear, step-by-step approach to teaching in order to make the learning process as easy as possible for you.

What Fret Dojo Academy Members
Are Saying:
Don’t just take it from me – let my students do the talking!
“About 2 and half years ago I got interested in jazz guitar, a totally new experience. For those 2 years I downloaded a mountain of stuff from the internet (free and purchased)… and I struggled away without any clear direction, until I discovered Greg and Fret Dojo. The difference has been amazing!
Greg has the ability to keep everyone motivated, he’s caring, clear thinking, very talented and most importantly – he’s completely dedicated to getting the best out of all the members – whether newbies like myself or guys that have been in jazz bands for years.
I can highly recommend Greg and the Fret Dojo Jazz Guitar Academy. It’s outstanding – go for it!”
“The main thing I have gotten out of the Fret Dojo Academy, is that it has given me the confidence to go out and find a piano player, and a bass player who plays jazz. And now, we’ve worked up a set list of 11 songs, including bebop and standards, and are about to start gigging… which I don’t think I would have done that without the help of this Academy.”
“I had a lot of questions and issues with my jazz guitar improvisation. I was losing my place where I shouldn’t have been, and I was looking for something to close that gap. Greg does a wonderful job of teaching, he is very patient and very clear minded and clear with his lessons, they are very easy to follow. I think you’ll enjoy it!”
“I’m becoming a better jazz guitar player and that’s the bottom line.”
“Greg is a true instructor. Yes, you get harmony, theory, a transcription of a solo chorus by Greg, but Greg also keeps things moving and provides incentives to post recordings of what you have learned. I have found this great for focus and actually completing a piece of music instead of just “parts of the puzzle” out of context. This is different than providing the music material and leaving the jazz student alone to figure it out. I’m becoming a better jazz guitar player and
