Welcome to Play Lead Guitar

Our monthly subscription program offers a powerful systematic way to build a complete set of skills as a lead guitarist and professional musician. Every new module will build on what you've learned before, strengthening the fundamentals that will translate into any style of playing. Always focusing on the tools pro guitarists really use to improve their playing and get results. Watch the introduction video to learn more about becoming a great guitarist and my approach to achieving this goal with flying colours.

Develop improvisation

master techniques

Every Lead Guitarist needs to be able to improvise to develop their own voice. My approach to teaching improvisation will help you to think more musically, enhance your phrasing ability and create interesting contrast in your solos to develop your own voice. ​

unlock the whole neck

My philosophy is that your eyes, ears, hands and mind need to work together to achieve real freedom across the whole neck. There are some shorts cuts, but the core knowledge needs to be developed to have real control and understanding of how it all connects together.
Once the basics are in place we can run with it and cover more adventurous material, making it possible to navigate with ease.   ​

Having a positive approach to technique is really essential so it's working for you and what you want to play ~ not against you. With my lessons we will learn to become more aware of what role technique plays and develop strategies to enhance your playing.   ​

apply theory in a practical way

​Music theory plays a different role for different players, based on their way of creating and hearing music. But it should always be practical and aid your ability to interpret the music in real time. Tied in with developing your ear and expanding your sonic pallet. We will be exploring a huge range of modal scales too. Embedding it into a framework that is easily absorbed and put into use for any guitarist.

Being a great lead guitarist is about speaking through your instrument. Having that direct connection and finding your own voice combined with the inherent strengths of the electric guitar.
Fluid expression given wings by technical freedom and musical understanding, that's the sign of a great player.
