If you’re stuck only reading Tablature or Sheet Music, then you’re limited by whatever tabs you have, or what you have memorized. But! If you learn how music works as a language, then you can have fun for hours making things your own!
Basically, we take the approach of a sports team instead of your typical music lessons.
I’ve always found it strange that most music lessons spend so much time talking about ideas instead of actually building the muscle memory necessary to execute techniques on the instrument.
Instead, every lesson here has large amounts of time dedicated to drills building your fundamental techniques so you’re better every time you leave.
Imagine if instead of spending time drilling passing, shooting, and teamwork for hours every week, basketball players instead met once a week for 30 minutes to talk about the principles of basketball.
What would happen when the team tried to come together to play a game?
Here are just a few of the things that set us apart:
The Curriculum is designed to take you from a complete beginner to a professional level, gig-ready guitar ninja in about 4 years. Here are the cliff notes of what you’ll learn:
Located on Texas St. Between the Airline and Industrial exits off I20!
Located in Downtown Ruston between Visual Differences and No. 9 Books!
We currently offer Group Coaching, Private Coaching, and even a few courses (coming soon!) all available online in the comfort of your own home! You can use these as supplements to your in-person sessions or as a stand alone service.
Ranging from fiery passages from Van Halen to melodic "slow hand" like Eric Clapton, develop your chops and play those amazing solos effortlessly!
Instead of learning a bunch of theory "just because," we focus on teaching you the stuff that will actively make a difference in your playing! Imagine knowing how to effortlessly create progressions and solos instead of wasting time on obscure things that 97.3% of guitar players will never need to use.
Whether it's strumming for campfire acoustic songs, or laying down amazing metal riffs, you gotta be able to hold down the rhythm!
It's important that in addtion to learning lots of techniques, scales, chords, theory, etc that you also spend time playing songs you like. Having fun is important to continuing progress over the long-haul!
One of the most fun and best ways to test your working ability and practical knowledge is to learn and practice the art of improvisation. Whether it's ripping solos or basic melodies, this is a great area to work on to get those creative juices flowing!
At the end of the day, music is kind of boring if it's just you playing to a wall. One of the main areas we dedicate a good bit of time to is being comfortable in group settings!
