The path to becoming a well-rounded guitarist who can confidently improvise, create your own sound, and jam with other musicians.
In music, everything is connected
Of course, getting better at guitar takes practice, but more importantly, it requires a deeper understanding of music.
In music, everything is connected.
And learning about these connections and understanding the âhowâ and âwhyâ behind the music actually makes it possible to become far more expressive and creative.
For example, once you understand how chords and scales relate to each other within a given key, you can:
In connecting your knowledge of theory to your technical skills, youâll have a much greater command of the fretboard and be able to easily find the notes and chords youâre looking for.
This combination of technique and understanding will help you become a well-rounded guitar player, and even though it might sometimes seem a bit dry or âtechnical,â it is the path to more creativity and freedom on the guitar.
Of all of the skills that make you feel like a âreal guitarist,â being able to improvise is right at the top of the list.
But it can also feel mysterious and intimidating â and incredibly awkward to try in front of other people. In fact, many players have a secret fear: that because improvisation doesnât come naturally to them, they might not have enough talent to do it at all.
The truth is, improvising is actually a skill that can be practiced and developed, step by step.
With an understanding of those practical connections between scales and chords, plus some strategies for using them to build your improv âchops,â you can become confident at improvising, whether youâre playing at home or soloing at a jam session with friends. And youâll be able to play with intentionality, finding the notes and chords that go along with whatever key you happen to be in.
Anyone can develop and improve their improvisation skills
Iâll show you how to maximize your practice time and get the most from it
Many intermediate players practice by going down various âtrailsâ on the InternetâŚ
They watch some music theory videos in one place, learn a new riff from another place, and get chord charts from somewhere else.
And even though they are learning some interesting things, itâs hard to âconnect the dotsâ between the various things and apply it to their guitar playing in a practical way.
Plus, in order to make progress on the guitar, you actually need to challenge yourself in new ways, which means working on things you arenât good at yet or havenât spent much time developing.
But this can be a difficult thing to do on your own, because itâs natural to gravitate toward the things that come most easily or feel most comfortable.
As a result, many players end up putting in the hours, without actually doing the things that will pay off in the long run.
This means that, in order to take your playing to the next level, you need a step-by-step âroadmapâ â a resource to give you direction to take the right steps, in the right order.
And, you need guidance to challenge yourself in new ways, so you donât fall into the same old patterns or well-worn routine.
Itâs once you hone in on the areas that require improvement (such as technique, ear training, improvisation, and theory), and strategically focus on strengthening them that youâll be able to reach the next level in your personal evolution as a guitarist.
I hope you can start to see that becoming a real next-level guitarist is a goal that is possible for anyone, as long as you have the right roadmap in place and are committed to the journey.
And with the resource Iâm about to share with you, you will have the guidance necessary to allow you to move to the next level â even if you have been âstuckâ for years.
Of course, it requires commitment, but itâs well worth the effort it takes to get there.
And itâs once you follow this path that youâll be able to âunlockâ experiences like these:
Itâs at this level of playing that chords and notes become connections, the fretboard feels like home, and the guitar becomes your voice.
Itâs a milestone well worth reaching…
I first picked up the guitar when I was 12 years old. I was a kid with a red Squier and dreams of playing like Green Day, Metallica, and a local band called âde Heideroosjes.â
These days, I really enjoy teaching guitar and helping other people experience the same creative joy thatâs brought me so much pleasure over the years.
Itâs why I started my personal channel on YouTube, which has grown into a pretty popular guitar channel with over three million subscribers from all over the world!
On the channel, I share all the things that interest me, based on what Iâve learned from over two decades of playing, songwriting, and producing.
I received a music degree, with a minor in teaching guitar, from Rotterdam Conservatory.
For 11 years, I taught private lessons to hundreds of students of all different skill levels in 1-on-1 sessions as well as in group lessons.
And in 2018, I took a big step and created a resource to teach fundamental guitar skills to hundreds of students online through my beginner-level guitar course, Learn, Practice, Play.
Though I initially didnât know what to expect, the response to the course was overwhelmingly enthusiastic, to a degree well beyond what I had ever hoped for.
And throughout the process of putting out my beginnersâ course, I received messages from thousands of intermediate guitarists who wanted help making progress to reach the next level of playing.
So with many months of work, I put together an online course just for intermediate guitarists, to provide a strategic roadmap for becoming well-rounded, fluent musicians.
My course for intermediate guitarists designed to help you break through to a new level of freedom and confidence in your playingâŚ
⌠And become a well-rounded guitarist who doesnât just play songs, but can create your own music, express yourself fluidly, and jam with other musicians.
Inside Next Level Playing, weâll use three aspects of guitar playing in each level of the course, all designed to help you have fun and learn how to express yourself more freely on the guitar.
Understand:Â Youâll learn the âwhyâ behind every note, chord, interval, fingering, and technique so that you can stop the endless loop of playing by rote and understand what youâre playing.
Play:Â You wonât just memorize theoretical principles and strategies; youâll put them into practice with fun songs and riffs â supported by energizing backing tracks â and have a blast playing every day.
Create:Â After connecting the dots with theory and practicing new skills, youâll be ready to start creating your own sounds, improvising new riffs and noodles, and spicing up your favorite songs with your own personal touch.
Next Level Playing provides you with the step-by-step guidance you needâŚÂ and then challenges you to start creating music for yourself.
While working through this self-paced course, you will:
Youâll know Next Level Playing is a good fit for you ifâŚ
If any of the above sounds familiar, Iâm confident that Next Level Playing will help improve your playing and take it to the next level â even if youâve been playing for years (or even decades) without much progress.
Playing guitar at the ânext levelâ is one of the most rewarding pursuits Iâve ever undertaken.
And, like any other craft, it takes a great deal of well-directed effort to move from fundamental proficiency into creative freedomâŚ
Itâs hard work.
It requires grit, passion, and determination.
But itâs worth every minute of practice to get there.
After two decades of playing guitar, I can confidently say that there are few things as rewarding as being able to express yourself through your music, and being able to confidently connect on a deeper level with other musicians.
And if youâre ready to go on that journey, Iâd love to be your guide along the way.
