      Jake is pure music

      Jake is what you call a guitar teacher. No flashy lights, over saturated marketing or spreading specific lessons across 50 different videos just to cash in on people. He gets right down to business where it’s on the table for us to improve at the instrument. He really trims the fat and gets to the lean mean protein of the food of musical knowledge. Thanx Mr. Lizzio, rock on brother!!

      Alternate ways of think and pattern following are great.

      It is fairly easy to follow. I especially like all the tips and special advice for learning each rhythm

      Half Way Through

      It's taking me some time to get though the course, not due to Jakes teaching. His style is so relaxed and super informative, I just want to take my time and absorb the practice. His teaching is never boring and he is always ready to help. I know when I am through the course, I will go back through it again, because there are so many gems, it's hard to pick them all up along the way!

      Best online music theory teacher I’ve found by far.

      Jake does an excellent job of explaining a variety of concepts in music theory from square 1 to 100. His methodical style of teaching makes his lessons approachable for beginners, and easy to navigate for those more experienced looking for specific information. 10/10

      As a Guitar Teacher, This Is Invaluable – Jake Is the Best Around

      As a guitar teacher, Jake’s Real Rhythm Guitar Level 1 course has been a game-changer. It’s clear, easy to follow and works for all levels. I’ve had all my students purchase it and I have even learned new things myself. Combined with The Codex, it saves me tons of prep time. Jake’s materials are top-notch and I stand by them 100%.

      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 =)
