ComeTogether

Let me guess where you're at.

You know a bunch of chords. A few riffs. The intro to more songs than you can count.

You've put in the time. You've watched the videos. You might even have a barre chord or two that sort of work.

But when somebody hands you a guitar and says, "Hey, play something"... it all kinda falls apart.

I've been there. When I first started playing barre chords, they beat me up. Getting one to ring clean was hard enough. Using them all over the fretboard? Complete mystery.

Then one night back home in Fernie, I went to a jam night. Honestly? I was intimidated. The band was playing AC/DC and Zeppelin note for note, and I didn't know their parts. I nearly walked out the door.

But I knew my barre chords. I knew my 7th chords. So I stayed, and I jammed with the band.

We played until 2 a.m. Before long I was gigging three or four nights a week.

That night taught me something I've been teaching ever since. You don't need to know every song note for note. You need to know your chords well enough to hang in there with the band.

So if you've ever wanted to try an open mic or a jam night, and felt that same knot in your stomach... I get it. That's exactly why I built this course.

I called it Come Together because three things come together in it.

Your skills come together.

The open chords, power chords and riffs you already know stop being separate things. You'll see exactly how they build your barre chords, so nothing feels like starting over.

Imagine being able to play every major and minor chord, all over the neck, in 2 ways, without even having to think about it.

No more faking that C sharp minor with a cowboy chord that's close enough. No more 3-fret jail.

The music comes together.

Every skill goes straight into a song you already know. Lenny Kravitz. Cream. Audioslave. Hendrix. Weezer.

12 songs in all. And as your skills build, every one of them starts sounding a little more like the record.

The people come together.

This is the good part. Most of what you play when guitar players get together is rhythm. A buddy in the garage. Your family in the living room. A campfire. A jam night.

Years ago I used to rent a hall and hire a backing band, so every one of my students could play one song on a real stage. Watching somebody play a song start to finish for the first time is still my favourite part of teaching.

That's what this course is built for. Songs you can actually play, for real people.

So next time somebody asks what you can play... you'll have an answer.
