GUITRONGUS

Has your guitar playing stayed the same for too long?

If you’re an experienced guitarist and feel like your playing hasn’t been evolving much lately, the etudes and techniques in this course are just what your fingers need!

Recently I felt like even though my musical tastes had changed a lot over the years, my guitar playing stayed more or less the same. So I asked one of the best guitarists I know, Tom Monda, to help me grow, and he helped my guitar playing evolve a lot! So I teamed up with him to make this course with all the amazing stuff he showed me and now we are so excited to show it to you!

Each lesson features an introduction to a unique guitar rudiment, a challenging etude to help you use it in a musical context, and then an in-depth breakdown of the etude to work through the challenging spots. Check out the curriculum below!
