“I struggled to learn jazz guitar without any clear direction … until I discovered Greg and Fret Dojo. The difference has been AMAZING!”
Are you still struggling with learning to play Jazz Guitar?
Feeling overwhelmed with the sheer volume of learning resources out there … books, websites and videos that quickly get too advanced and confusing?
Maybe you’re having trouble staying motivated while learning to play by yourself?
If you’re looking for a clear pathway that ‘cuts through the noise’ so you know EXACTLY the right steps to build your jazz guitar skills, you’ve come to the right place:
Introducing The FretDojo Jazz Guitar Club
If you’re like most jazz guitarists, you feel like your playing is stuck in a rut.
It seems like your playing hasn’t improved in years – in fact, sometimes it feels like you’ve gotten worse.
Sure, you might have tried a checking out 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.
But here’s the thing…
What if it didn’t have to be like this?
What if I told you the pathway to jazz guitar didn’t have to be like this?
What if you would know exactly the next steps to take in your learning journey, so you were no longer confused and frustrated?
What if everything you need is in one convenient place?
You’ll no longer feel like a deer in the headlights when you take a solo.
You’ll have the confidence to go to a jam session and play jazz chords and improvise like a pro.
And…you’ll stop feeling a jazz poser and start feeling like a jazz superstar.
It’s all just one click away – presenting…

Meet Your Instructor
Greg O’Rourke
Professional Jazz Guitarist,
and Founder of FretDojo.com
Originally a trained classical guitarist, Greg always had a keen interest in jazz guitar and improvisation. However, despite studying with several highly regarded teachers on the topic and many hours of diligent practice, it wasn’t enough to ‘join the dots’.
After much searching and experimentation with various methods, Greg turned to developing his own unique system to jazz guitar improvisation – that quickly gave satisfying results in his own playing, and finally unlocked the mystery as to how to improve.
Greg shared his journey and his step-by-step instructions through his Youtube channel and the FretDojo blog, amassing many thousands of followers on the Internet, keen to follow in Greg’s footsteps.
Jazz improvisation on guitar is often touted as something supremely difficult or reserved only for the exceptionally gifted. But, through his many years of decoding improvisation on guitar, and working with thousands of students worldwide, Greg demonstrates that improvisation and jazz on guitar can be learned by anyone who has a keen heart, a good attitude, and a willingness to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. Everything you need to become a confident jazz player will be immediately accessible to you upon becoming a member.
You’ll also have the ability to get your questions answered about any aspect of the material, and an online members-only forum so you can connect with other FretDojo Academy members.
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.
This Academy is unique because it caters to all skill levels of jazz guitar, no matter where you are in your journey. A Getting Started Guide we have added to the website includes Learning Pathways to advise what material you should be focusing on the most, depending on your skill level and interest.
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 Jazz Guitar Club courses released in FretDojo in the future.
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 our world class instructors 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.
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.
The Academy is very much a ‘go at your own pace’ affair – you’ll have access to all the courses in the Course library as long as you’re a member, so your learning can be on a schedule that suits YOU.
We keep the theory 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 theoretical 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.
No – It’s not necessary to read music notation for this program. At any rate, TAB will be provided for all the musical examples as well as the notation, if you’re more familiar with reading tablature.
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: Many of our students have said our lesson materials are of the highest caliber, and a big step ahead of other offerings out there.
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.
