This course is available as “pay what you can” and all materials are available under the first lesson. Learn how to write and jam the blues effortlessly, by yourself or with an entire band. This course takes us from complete beginner to competent composer in only 5 days by studying the structure of the 12-bar blues, how it can be improved and modified, and how lead lines and solos can interact on top. In addition to the basic blues, the minor blues is taught, as well as several theoretical concepts such as relativity and scale degrees.

Music Theory and Songwriting Course FAQs

I’m not a guitarist. Should I still take this course?

Probably! Only about 15% of this course is dedicated to the guitar, while the remaining concepts are taught in a way that can easily be applied to any other instrument. However, since all the theory taught is viewed through the lens of the guitar, it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you own a guitar before pursuing this course to finish.

I am a beginner/advanced guitar player but don’t know theory- is this course for me?

This is not a course on guitar playing or technique, but on theory and songwriting. The only skills you are expected to know is how to read guitar tablature, and the absolute basics of guitar playing (how to fret a note, open chords, etc)

How does your course compare to taking private lessons?

I can confidently say that this method of learning will be more effective and valuable for many types of students. Since there is no wasted time or filler, it is more time-efficient than real life lessons where the teacher or student can get distracted. The printable materials are of a higher quality than most private lessons. And the ability to replay a lesson over and over is invaluable for students struggling to understand difficult topics.

I watch your Signals Music Studio YouTube channel a lot, can these same topics be found for free on your channel?

Not quite- my YouTube channel explores more advanced topics without explaining the prerequisites. 95% of the content in this course is totally unique and unexplored on my channel, and is taught in a linear fashion as to make sure you’re totally competent by the end. There are only two lessons that include cross over with my YouTube channel. However, after some lessons, Design and Develop by Inbox Technologyyou are directed to specific YouTube videos I’ve produced to help expand on your understanding of the previous topics and to help weave my channel in with the course.

Does my access to the course expire?

Nope! Once purchased you’ll have access for life, including any additional lessons or worksheets that get added in over time.

Can I access the course offline?

Currently, no. But I am working on getting a physical version of the course made instead of digital-only. Stay tuned!

Are there refunds?

If you are not satisfied with the course content or accessibility, you may request a refund within 30 days of purchase.

Last time I looked, the price was $200 but now it’s $270. What gives?

The sale price of $200 will only be available during special holiday promotions. Sign up to my email list to know when the next sale begins.

There’s no way I can afford your course. But I really want/need it. Can you help?

Reach out to me directly on my email and let me know your situation, I might be able to help =)
