Learn a new Bluegrass guitar solo each week. We'll be focusing on the acoustic flatpicking guitar style, but these solos can be played on any type of guitar, acoustic or electric. Expand your vocabulary of licks, tricks and melodies over standard chord progressions that you can incorporate into any type of music that you play. These solos are inspired by some of the greats of bluegrass and country/folk music like Mother Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson, Clarence White and others!

In 2016 and 2017, we completely re-engineered our recording studio with top of the line gear, including a full suite of 4k cameras complimented by a new audio outfit. The result is beautiful live streams!
Each live course is equipped with full tablature and even backing tracks. Our live lessons are focused, planned, and even provide homework on how to improve and look forward to the next week.
Our staff fields questions from the audience throughout each section, and opens for questions throughout each course. You also have the ability to call in live with your own video stream!
Our live platform has been a major focus over the past 18 months, and we are very excited to fully unleash it's capability!
