Playing lead over a chord progression is a lot like learning to speak. You don’t wait until you have a perfect vocabulary. You learn a few words. You listen. You copy. You say something simple. Then you say it with feeling.

 

That’s improvising.

 

And that’s exactly what we’ll do together in my new Lead Guitar for Beginners Boot Camp.

 

Four Saturday mornings

  • October 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2026
  • 11:00 AM Central
  • About 90 minutes each
  • Live video feed (cameras and mics optional)

 

You do not need to know how to play lead guitar. You don’t need theory. You don’t need speed. If you can find your way around a few notes, I can take you from here.

 

I will walk you through it the same way I wish my teachers had taught me. I didn’t come out of the womb bending strings. I transcribed other people’s solos, slowed them down, and asked why that phrase worked over that chord. Then I turned it into a path a beginner can actually follow.

 

What you’ll learn (the universal tools of lead guitar):

  • How to hear the key and the feel of a song before you play a note

  • Which scale (or scales) actually belong over what you’re hearing

  • How to phrase — so it sounds like a sentence, not a scale workout.

  • How to follow the chords with your melody notes, instead of wandering

  • How to take a simple idea and make it sound like you

 

This is a small-group, live room. Ask questions in the chat or on camera, in real time. I’ll answer as we go.

 

Miss a Saturday? No problem. Every session is recorded, so you can watch (and rewatch) whenever you want.

 

Here’s the part that still surprises people:

The whole Boot Camp is $97.

 

That includes:

  • 4 live sessions with me (6+ hours of guided, beginner lead guitar)

  • My Blues Lead Guitar for Beginners course (normally $89)

 

Do the math with me: you’re getting the $89 course… and paying about $8 for over six hours of live, small-group teaching, Q&A, and hand-holding.

 

That’s not a typo.

 

I want this to be the month you stop saying “I wish I could solo” and start saying something on the guitar, even if it’s one honest phrase.

 

Spots are for beginners who are ready to be walked through it, step by step.

 

I’ll see you Saturday morning, October 3rd!
