Jose

Intro to Jazz

1 week ago

Dr Miller gives great importance to the fundamentals and has very effective ways to allow her students to internalise them not just mentally but also by execution. Not just a great guitarist but also a great teacher!

November 2024

Matt is a great teacher who tailors the sessions towards the things you want to learn and what inspires you!! It makes learning fun

Secret Weapons

October 2024

If you're ready to move beyond cowboy chords, one or two boxes of the pentatonic scale, and randomly messing around on the fretboard until things sound good, take this class! Caitlin understands music theory and is able to communicate how to put it into practice from basic principles. Her genre breakdowns are methodical and reveal that she's got deep insights only years of experience can bring. Plus, she's willing to tackle any question you have whether beginner or advanced. So if you've been playing for a while and you're ready to take your skills to the next level, sign up with Caitlin!

Tash was friendly and gave super clear instructions. Happy to have a simple and structured routine laid out to progress my guitar playing.

String Theory Part 1 - Triads

May 2024

Molly is a great teacher! She’s fun, extremely knowledgeable and flexible to the needs of her students.

Joel

Blues Guitar Improvisation

April 2024

Very complete course approach using scales, arpeggios and sequences together with the usual Blues tools: bends, vibrato, legato, finishing with case studies, offering in the end the basis to developp our own improvisation capabilities. Great course

John

Workshop for the Developing Guitarist

April 2024

I love how Eugene and Dylan start by introducing and drilling the skills necessary to play a song, then show how to play a song using those skills.

Zero To Hero

March 2024

OMG Where do I even begin with this! I always knew there was SYSTEM to the guitar! No matter how many clips, videos, tutorials I viewed online it just never made sense! NEVER! Every single one said something different about the same thing. Then God sent me Caitlin!!!! Holy Moly! She made it so PERFECTLY clear in the first session! It literally blew me away! Every class just built on the previous revelations and the next and the next. It was such a systematic well thought out way of teaching the info that connected the "dots" (for me) every class! I can't tell enough people about it and several of my band mates have said they are going to join her next session. I found the Zero to Hero class after doing a trial of "Secret Weapons", which was a bit too advanced for me. I remember her mentioning her "Zero to Hero" class during this session and it sounded like it was exactly the class I needed. So two things here... 1. Thank you Til for allowing trial runs of classes as it allowed me to find out about this class and 2. I am now ready for "Secret Weapons" as I feel like Caitlin has given me the tools I need to be able to understand many of the topics she covers in that class! Caitlin's nothing short of amazing and if your really want to "Understand the Language of Music" and not just learn the chords to a song, know how to move around the fret board with ease, and take your guitar knowledge to the next level THIS is the class for you! This is the teacher for you! This is what you're looking for! :-) Sonya Bianco #zero2herobaby!!!

Chord Creation

October 2023

Arianna‘s class is amazing and highly recommended if you want to further guitar playing exploration. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!

Level Up: Jazz & Contemporary Guitar

September 2023

Tash is a great teacher and a very talented musician. She works very hard to make each class a great learning experience. I will be taking more classes with her in the future.

Chord Melody 2

July 2023

I've taken a bunch of classes with Molly on TIL at this point and this was another one of my favorites. Dense but well paced. Lots to learn and dig into even after the class is over.

Creating Your Own Practice Routine

May 2023

Lindy is a great teacher and I especially enjoyed the early pedagogic approach with reflection on learning and building structure for yourself. Lindy's warmup sheets are really useful in and of themselves but also as examplars for constructing your own.

Dan M.

Jimi Hendrix: Axis Bold As Love

May 2023

This was a really great class. I really enjoyed Joey's approach, breaking down the songs into their elements and enabling to play at your level - crucially never giving you an end point and allowing you to develop as a guitarist with the song each time you play it. Joey is an engaging, knowledgable and responsive teacher and the classes are always fun.

Goncalo M.

Fretboard Finesse

May 2023

Awesome class - Myles has a great approach that mixes bringing in your taste and ear with theory to unlock the fretboard. Looking forward to continue learning with him as I practice more.

Tony

Solo Guitar Arranging

April 2023

Arianna is a great teacher! Very friendly and super talented. I learned a lot despite feeling like I was a little under qualified for the material.

Dan M.

String Theory 2 - Melody Making

March 2023

This was a really cool and informative class. Across both 'String Theory' courses Molly had a great way of structuring a manageable journey up a steep learning curve. The delivery is great and Molly is an engaging and responsive teacher. The courses have given me a real sense of how to really use my guitar to make music and contribute to jams and not just play notes by rote.

Expanding Blues Guitar

January 2023

Jamey is a great teacher and is very personable. He manages to move at a pace that, at least to me, balances between those in the class familiar with basic concepts in music theory and those (like me) with a more modest understanding, which is to say, I need to pay attention and revisit the recorded classes, but Jamey challenges me just enough to keep me interested and engaged, never frustrated. I have learned a lot already and love the new material I have to work with.

Chris

Jazz Guitar Chords and Harmony for Songs

January 2023

I'm loving this class it's exactly what I was looking for. I'm having so many "aha" moments where things that always seemed random and confusing are resolving into a logical form that I can put into play right away. Love it!

7 Techniques in 7 Days

January 2023

Mike has taught me a lot of different techniques in a short period of time. He provides tabs, guitar pro files, and video recordings so I can go back and study again while practicing on my own.
