Welcome!


There's a lot here, so there are a number of ways to jump in.



  1.  Level 2 of either (or both) the rock or blues tracks.

  2. Go to the Artist studies portion of the website, find a favorite guitarist, work your way through.

  3. Pick some of the higher level songs available (after a few you'll get a general feel for the difficulty level).  When you run into a technique issue (fingering, bending, whatever) use search to go through the extensive (!) content for that particular skill and work on it.

  4. Think like you've been booked for a set, choose the songs to fill that set(s) and then work the hell out of the songs until you can nail them.

  5. There are a lot of what I think of as "jump off" points that lead you to all kinds of cool places:  Ander's weekly video check ins, going through the "news" stuff that they publicly post on you tube.  Go through the "techniques" section and try something new (sweep picking for me).  Even though it may not be your thing, you may hear something that inspires.


True that the sheer amount of stuff here can be intimidating but it doesn't take long to learn your way around.
