“If you all have loads of books that make no sense that you never use, Greg breaks it down and makes it useable. This is unlike any course you’ve ever been involved with, mainly because Greg is so good at explaining things that I now understand that I didn’t understand before. It’s a fabulous course and I highly recommend it.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What exactly is included in this course? Are the video lessons live, or pre-recorded?
The course consists of high quality pre-recorded video lessons, which you can either watch online, or download for later. You can watch the videos at any time that suits your schedule.
The video lessons come with sheet music, diagrams, backing tracks and detailed lesson plans.
Do I need to know a lot about jazz theory in order to do the course?
No - beyond understanding what a major, minor and dominant chord is, it isn’t necessary to have more theory knowledge than that. We’ll cover the essentials you need to know throughout the course.
Do I need to be able to read music?
It’s not necessary to sight-read music, but it would make things easier for you if you can at least ‘limp’ through notation enough to be able to figure out the basic notes and rhythms. At any rate, TAB will be provided for all the musical examples.
I'm worried I won't have enough time in my schedule to do the course?
Don't worry - this course is completely self paced so you can do it on a schedule that suits YOU.
What is your refund policy?
Your investment in this course is protected by my 30-Day 100% money back guarantee. Enroll in the program, put it into action and see the results for a full 30 days. If you’re not happy, just send me an email in the first 30 days and I'll give every penny back right away.
What will this course help me achieve?
In this course, you’ll learn how to improvise confidently over the most common chord progressions of the jazz language. To do this, you’ll acquire authentic jazz vocabulary and learn how to apply it to the fretboard in a confident way.
The result - you’ll be comfortable taking a solo when someone asks you to, and you'll be happy with how you sound. You'll no longer get lost in the 'fretboard maze', and you'll start to solo in a much more melodic way – rather than just 'scientifically' by applying a bunch of scales and arpeggios.
What does my guitar skill level need to be for this course?
If you’re an intermediate level guitarist, this course would be a good fit for you. (Important note: It’s not necessary to have prior experience playing jazz for this course, but it would definitely help.) If you’ve been playing for at least a couple of years and have familiarity with basic chord shapes and scale patterns, then you’ll be fine. When I designed this course, I particularly had in mind a guitarist that may have been playing for some time but had never really gotten confident with improvisation or jazz skills, and was confused about how to learn it. If you resonate with this, then this course is definitely for you.
I noticed you play with fingerstyle technique - do I need to know fingerstyle to do this course?
This course doesn't require a particular technique for the plucking hand. You can use a pick, fingers, a combination, or your thumb like Wes Montgomery - whatever technique you are most comfortable with is fine by me.
Am I too old to be able to get better at jazz guitar and learn to improvise confidently?
You're never too old to learn. Don't talk yourself into that mindset. I have had an 84 year-old student take lessons with me and he went really well - so you're likely still a spring chicken in my book!
Why wait? Start the course now!
"The Fundamentals of Jazz Guitar Improvisation online course is the course that I wish that I’d had all those many years ago when I first started trying to learn to improvise and actually sound good.
I’m so thrilled that I can offer you this online course that’s been years in the making – I believe it’s the ultimate shortcut to building your improvisation skills in the shortest possible time.”
