Step 1
Find your level
We'll ask you a series of questions to learn where you're at with guitar so we can tailor a learning pathway to your unique needs.
Step 2
Start the CAGED Learning Pathway
Start opening up your fretboard by learning the CAGED system. This day-by-day Learning Pathwaywill allow you to confidently solo across your whole fretboard in any genre and key. Fretboard freedom awaits!
Step 3
Start the Music Theory Learning Pathway
We know music theory can be tedious and intimidating. It's also the number 1 thing holding intermediate players back. That’s why we designed the world's most comprehensive (and fun!) theory program tailored specifically for guitarists.
Step 4
Go deeper into your preferred style
Once you develop a rock-solid base, it's time to start specializing in your favorite genres: jazz, blues, neo soul, RnB, funk, classical, prog, and more. We've got the right Master Class for you from world-leading and innovative players.
Step 5
