      THIS IS A GIFTABLE COURSE!

      Enter an email at checkout to send a coupon code that can be redeemed for online course access, and a shipping address where the physical book should delivered (shipping fees apply).

      Real Rhythm Guitar: Level 1 is a whole new way to learn guitar! This physical/digital course will teach you to master modern rhythm guitar skills and popular techniques, while learning the foundations of rhythm theory. Includes 4 months worth of detailed, guided video lessons along with explanatory text, diagrams, charts, and musical examples.

      Timing and rhythm is one of the most overlooked skills for guitar students (and teachers!), yet is the most important one needed for any performing professional. With this course, you will build your skills from the ground up and develop the skills needed to play professional guitar in the studio or during live performances. Over the length of this course, you’ll learn the following:

      • 🎵 How to develop an internal sense of rhythm and timing, and train your foot to tap like a metronome
      • 🎵 Dozens of popular strumming and rhythm patterns from our favorite songs
      • 🎵 Why and how to vocalize rhythm patterns, using a variety of Western traditions
      • 🎵 The ability to “sight-read” rhythms and convert what you’re playing into written symbols
      • 🎵 Guitar-focused techniques to make standard chord loops more interesting
      • 🎵 How to combine dynamics, rests, and palm mutes, and accents into engaging and interesting strumming patterns

      This course contains 22 lessons meant to be watched roughly one-per-week. Each lesson contains a video that explains, demonstrates, and performs the concepts and exercises in each lesson. Along with each video lesson, explanatory text and diagrams are for both online viewing and within the physical workbook.

      The Workbook

      Purchasing this course will grant you immediate access to the online course, and will also save you $5 on the physical workbook.

      This course is an updated and improved version of the 5-star-rated Signals Rhythm Training Course which is now discontinued. The sequel, Real Rhythm Guitar: Level 2, will be available this fall.

      this is exactly what i was looking for!

      Jake Lizzio’s Real Rhythm Guitar course is absolutely fantastic. It’s clear, informative, and straight to the point, no unnecessary fluff, just pure guitar wisdom. I learned so much from it, and it really helped me understand how to play the songs I love using guitar tabs. Jake’s teaching style makes everything click, and I finally feel confident about my rhythm playing.

      Fantastic Course

      He teaches at a very manageable pace and his course really starts from the ground up, so you won't need to worry about not understanding a concept. The lessons cover everything very well so it's really hard to feel lost, it makes it feel easy when he explains it. The exercises exercises are fun, they teach you how apply complex rhythm to basic chords can make your playing fantastic. A real levelup

      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 =)
