Thanks for joining my Patreon! I’m so grateful you’re here.

This page has all the info you need to get going on my Patreon, but if you’re ready to start learning right now, push this button:

Before we discuss where to start, I’d like to share my vision for this place.

My Patreon is a community centered around learning TOGETHER about how music works on guitar. So, let’s get a few things straight about this community:

• The content I’m producing here isn’t designed to be digested in just one sitting. Learning guitar and music theory takes time and practice. My lessons are designed to help you along your journey, but there are no shortcuts to mastering these concepts, so please, take your time and move along at your own pace. If you’re feeling stuck, reach out to the community, that’s what we’re here for! My lessons are designed to be practiced, discussed, worked out, and most importantly: played around with! Mastering the guitar can’t happen without mastering playfulness.

• There is no such thing as a “dumb” question. If you have a question, ask! Preferably on the Patreon Community. (more info below)

• Some lessons here are to help you learn about a musical concept, other lessons are designed to help you get comfortable using a musical concept. These lessons have homework. DO THE HOMEWORK and submit it on the Patreon Community. You’ll be glad you did.

• If you don’t understand something or you aren’t feeling competent after working through a particular lesson or series, say something about it on the Patreon Community. Along those same lines, those of you who do understand these concepts -- help out your peers who don’t! One of the best ways to solidify and clarify something for yourself is to help someone else understand it.

Now - here’s where to start:

In order to comprehensively understand all the lessons I’m putting out, I recommend watching these two ongoing series:

1. Music Theory for Guitar - this covers the basics, gives homework, and helps create a strong music theory foundation. I’m continuing to record and post lessons in this series so look out for more.

2. Music Theory Monday - when I started this Patreon, I created MTM as a fast track theory series to get people who are familiar with music theory up to speed. It gets through the basics a little quicker and continues on in a more informal classroom kind of way.

About my ‘Patreon Lesson Archive:’

Both of these lessons can be found on the ‘Patreon Lesson Archive,’ located on my website (not to be confused with your personal Patreon Dashboard found on your phone app or desktop browser).

The Patreon Lesson Archive I’ve designed is separate from the Patreon website and lives on my website. It is a searchable archive of every lesson I’ve posted on Patreon, organized by category, designed to make it easier to navigate all of my lessons.

Patreon Community Forum:

Every Patron who joins my community will be automatically signed up for my community its forum. The community forum is a separate space from Patreon where members can:

• Start discussions about various topics

• Upload homework assignments (with visuals and audio)

• Ask questions, and engage in general guitar/music theory discussions with other members

Need help signing up? Watch the video below, or visit here.

From there, I recommend treating the Patreon like a map and pick a place you want to hang out for a while! Whether it’s a few lessons about songwriting, soloing over specific chord progressions, or something else, just have fun, follow your interests, and enjoy learning how to make music on your guitar.
