Truly! these lessons are delivered with attention to what I want to achieve as somebody who has been putting off music theory skills and wants to advance. I've been hitting walls with the kind of problem solving that must be done to make songs that can elaborate well on a story and a mood - gradually I'm finding that this is the ticket towards making songs that are satisfying for me to hear.

I have done several courses over the years and none of them are as well thought out and properly structured. You may not understand it at the time but Jake is really setting you for success. Follow the course, do the exercises and workbook. You won't just be creating and making music, you will understand why you are doing what you are doing and how to make it your own. Wish I had found earlier

Jake’s course is perfect for someone like me who has learned theory in a piecemeal fashion over a long period of time, just enough to be more confused than anything else. This is a great way to go back to basics and fill in the gaps.

I have been playing guitar for 30+ years and Jake finally helped me to understand music theory. i can now write songs with interesting chord progressions, instead of just boring diatonic ones. If your looking for a course to take your song writing to a new level, look no further. You wont be disappointed. Rock On!

Unlike many music teachers, Jake doesn't assume you have already been indoctrinated with music theory as a kid. He is happy to spell everything out, and when he makes assumptions he says so. Personally I don't subscribe to the idea that specific chords or keys have any emotional connotations beyond those that we choose to give them, but they certainly SOUND different, and that's what matters.

I've scoured the internet for instructional guitar and music theory lessons for the better part of 15 years, and this has been by far the most accessible, unpretentious, and encouraging course I've found. Highly recommend this course (along with the Signals YouTube channel) to anyone interested in a wide-ranging tour through the fundamentals of music theory and songwriting. Thanks, Jake!

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and have always had this weird mental block when it came to understand music theory.I just could not wrap my head around the concepts. The way Jake orders the lessons to build on one another and the way he explains each concept so clearly is the key.I thought the $270 price tag was a little steep before I would gladly pay $1k in hindsight. THANK YOU JAKE!
Just one word BRILLIANT.
