Guitar Improv Workshops

What’s the most common question I hear from aspiring guitarists?

Well, it’s generally…how do I play this song, this riff, these chords.

The way I figure out music I’m hearing the first time is unique to me. Using my perfect pitch, technique and knowledge of music theory, I can instantly know the chords and fingering for almost any song I’ve heard and I when I reproduce the song, a student can copy my fingering and style, and then practice makes perfect. We achieve a musical breakthrough together that is fun and fantastic!

Learning how to play some of your favorite riffs is the icing on the cake at Guitar Improv Workshops. You’ll leave my workshop with lots of new ideas and fundamental concepts that you can incorporate into your playing. But, there’s much, much more.

In addition to tips and tricks, I’ll share my improv secrets and give you tools you can use to make your improvs sound more awesome, more powerful, more beautiful.

Take a workshop and you’ll hear my 30,000 foot explanation of tonal acoustics, and WHY various riffs, solos and melodies work together well, or not. I’ll simplify and demystify musical concepts that elude virtually all untrained musicians, including ways to harmoniously align your improvs over the most complex chord structures.

Knowing my method will give you a solid advantage when it comes to playing what you want to play, in any style, whether you read music or not.
