About The Founder
A Smarter Way to Learn Jazz Guitar
I started out as a rigid classical guitarist — terrified of improvising and convinced jazz was only for musical geniuses with perfect ears.
Fast forward to today, and I run one of the world’s largest jazz guitar YouTube channels. I’ve helped thousands of players — most of them over 50 — go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to confidently playing the music they love.
You know what I’ve learned?
Jazz guitar doesn’t have to be confusing.
You don’t need to master every scale, every mode, every substitution to sound great. You just need a clear path, the right guidance, and a community that has your back.
That’s why I created Jazz Guitar Dojo.
It’s the program I wish existed when I was struggling — structured, supportive, and actually fun. A place where motivated adult guitarists could finally make real progress… without having to guess their way through it.
Whether you’re picking jazz back up after a long break or just starting fresh, the Dojo can be the turning point.
We’re looking for thoughtful, committed players ready to do this right.
Apply now — and let’s play some real jazz together.

Who Is It For?
Are you ready for the Jazz Guitar Dojo?
Jazz Guitar Dojo is built for people who are serious about making real progress — and tired of going around in circles.
You are ready if...
- You've tried YouTube, books, or lessons… but still feel lost or confused
- You want to sound authentic when comping or soloing — not random or robotic
- You value structure and don't want to feel like a beginner forever
- You're willing to follow a proven roadmap (not chase shiny new tricks)
- You'd love to join a like-minded community and finally enjoy the process
- You want to be proud of how you sound when you play jazz guitar
You are NOT ready if...
- You're looking for quick hacks, shortcuts, or one-off lick packs
- You don't have time to commit even 30 minutes a few times a week
- You're not open to learning and applying structured methods
- You prefer learning completely alone with no feedback or community
- You already gig regularly as a pro-level jazz guitarist
The Path Forward
🎶 Your Jazz Guitar Journey
Here’s what your first few months inside the Dojo could look like:
1
Step 2: Play Your First Real Jazz Standard
No more dry exercises.
You'll learn a full arrangement of a real tune like Autumn Leaves — and understand how it works musically.
2
Step 3: Comp With Confidence
Your chords will finally sound like jazz.
We'll show you how to use real voicings, groove in time, and support other musicians with tasteful rhythm playing.
3
Step 4: Start Soloing With Ease
No more guessing or "random note" solos.
Using the tools in the Core Curriculum, you'll build a soloing vocabulary rooted in melody, phrasing, and clarity — not just scales.
4
Step 5: Get Feedback and Support
You're not doing this alone.
Join live Q&As, submit questions, and stay inspired through group workshops and expert coaching.
5
Step 6: Sound Like the Player You've Always Wanted to Be
This is the moment it clicks.
Your comping is smooth. Your solos make musical sense. You're jamming with others or recording for fun — and loving every minute of it.

FAQs
Who is Jazz Guitar Dojo for?
Jazz Guitar Dojo is designed for guitarists who already know how to play guitar in other styles but feel lost when trying to play jazz. Whether you’re a complete jazz beginner or you’ve tried learning jazz before without success, our step-by-step approach is tailored to help you make real progress.
I've tried other courses before and quit. Why would this be different?
Because you’re not learning alone in a vacuum anymore. You get a clear step-by-step path (no more guessing what to practice), live coaching when you’re stuck, and a community of players cheering you on. This eliminates the info overload and isolation that causes people to quit.
Do I need to read music?
No, you don’t need to read standard notation to benefit from Jazz Guitar Dojo. While some basic music reading skills can be helpful, we provide all materials with both standard notation and tablature, plus visual demonstrations of everything on video.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes, we offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all memberships.
What if I can't attend the live workshops?
No problem – all live sessions are recorded and added to the library. You can also submit questions in advance. Plus, the community is active 24/7, so you can get help anytime.
What if I get overwhelmed like before?
That won’t happen. Instead of dumping everything on you at once, we give you ONE thing to focus on each week. Each step builds on the last – no confusion, no overwhelm.
How much time do I need to practice?
Our system is designed for busy adults. We recommend at least 20-30 minutes of focused practice 3-4 times per week to see steady progress. Remember, consistent, focused practice is more effective than occasional marathon sessions.
Will this be more dry theory I can't use?
Opposite. You’re playing real jazz standards from day one. Theory is taught through the music, not as homework. You learn what you need when you need it to play the songs you love.
Am I too old to learn jazz guitar?
Absolutely not! Many of our most successful students started learning jazz in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. Jazz is one of the few styles where maturity is actually an advantage. Your years of listening to music and life experience are assets, not obstacles.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes there are no long term contracts and you can cancel your membership at any time.
