Guitar Club member summer cohorts
Choose your next summer guitar project
Two live cohorts for Guitar Club members: learn songs by ear, build solo guitar arrangements, or take both.
This summer, Guitar Club members can join one of two focused live cohorts.
Learn Songs by Ear helps you stop depending on tabs for every note.
Build Your Own Solo Guitar Arrangements helps you turn songs into complete solo guitar pieces you can play on your own.
Each cohort is $199 for Guitar Club members.
Choose your summer cohortTwo focused skills. One summer plan.
Choose the one that fits your current goal, or join both if you want a full ear-to-arrangement path.
Learn first. Hear and find songs more confidently.
Then arrange. Shape that musical information into complete solo guitar pieces.
Compare the two pathsTwo paths. One clear next step.
If you want the full workflow, take both.
Learn Songs by Ear
If you want to hear a song and figure out what is happening on the guitar, choose Learn Songs by Ear.
First, train your ear to find songs more confidently.
Build Your Own Solo Guitar Arrangements
If you want to take a melody, chords, and bass movement and shape them into a solo guitar arrangement, choose Build Your Own Solo Guitar Arrangements.
Then, use that musical information to build arrangements that sound complete without a band.
Want the full path? Take both: learn to find the music by ear, then turn it into arrangements you can perform.

You can take either course by itself. You can also take both if you want to strengthen the whole process from listening to arranging.
Learn Songs by Ear
Best for Guitar Club members who want to rely less on tabs, videos, and sheet music.
You will focus on hearing musical ideas, finding them on the guitar, and building confidence as you work out songs by listening.
This cohort is about recognition, problem-solving, and trusting your ears.
Build Your Own Solo Guitar Arrangements
Best for Guitar Club members who want to create complete guitar versions of songs.
You will focus on combining melody, harmony, bass notes, and playable guitar shapes into an arrangement that can stand on its own.
This cohort is about turning song knowledge into a finished solo guitar performance.
How they work together
Learn Songs by Ear helps you find the music.
Build Your Own Solo Guitar Arrangements helps you shape the music into something you can perform.
Take both if you want the full path from listening to arranging.
Meet Your Teacher
I’ve made it my life’s mission to help guitar and mandolin players become more effortless, mindful, complete musicians. With over 20 years of experience as a professional musician and teacher, I design courses and lessons that fill the common knowledge gaps left by traditional guitar education.
Whether you want to learn music theory, ear training, improvisation, or how to practice with more intention, I’ve got you. Through Guitar Club, self-paced courses, and private lessons, my focus is always the same: helping you understand what you’re learning and apply it with confidence.
Thanks for being here. I’d love to have you in a program.
