The Learning System

Your Lessons Don’t End When the Hour Is Over.

Every lesson connects to a complete learning system — a real curriculum, practice tools built for guitar, a personal Student Portal, and direct feedback from Garrett — so progress keeps happening between lessons, not just during them.

  • Structured Curriculum
  • Practice Labs
  • Student Home
  • Personal Feedback

Inside the Student Portal

A Complete System for Real Progress

Five connected parts of the Student Portal keep every lesson building on the last.

01 Student Home

Know Exactly What to Work On

Every lesson lands on your Student Home: this week’s assignments, the keys to play them in, and your progress, laid out clearly — so you always know exactly what to work on next.

No guessing. No wasted practice time.

A Curriculum That Grows With You

Every concept lives on one page, in order — Building Blocks, the CAGED system and Warm-Ups — each with its lesson video and play-alongs, and the next one waiting for you.

A clear path from where you are to where you want to be.

03 The Labs

Practice Tools Built for Guitar

Three tools that do the drilling with you, so practice time goes into playing instead of setting up.

Less searching. More playing.

Backing Tracks

Jam over real chord progressions built for the concepts you’re learning.

04 Feedback

Send Your Playing. Get Personal Feedback.

Record yourself, send it right from your assignment, and get video feedback from Garrett — specific guidance on your actual playing, not a generic note. Every submission and reply stays saved, so you can hear how far you’ve come.

Feedback that’s personal, not automated.
