Let's welcome all of our new members yall, also, I want everyone to post a video or YouTube link of themselves, not matter your level. Don't be shy as we all started somewhere and I want this group to be something where we can all chime in and participate and bring each other up as player. I have been teaching for literally 30 years now and I have learned a lot from my students over the years. I know @Sid Woolfolk will agree with me on this but the biggest challenge when I was a student at The Atlanta Institute of Music in the Beginning was Rock Performance Class. I was told the students these days even have a harder time because most of them play at very low volumes or in headsets even with the new tech upbringing. Man I tell you what, the first Performance class all the students on all levels and pretty much all the teachers show up because they want to know who the movers and shakers are. A group like this and Music school is different because just about everyone is really good so it is kinda intimidating but I want yall to work with each other and lets bring each other up. Let's see videos yall! @Pete Pachio is an amazing player and a fellow student of Shawns! Also I want to thank every one of yall from the bottom of my heart for helping us build this. I know money is tight for some of yall, thats why we are doing the $29 per month or $300 per year offer and you will lock that rate in for being one of our OG's for something that is going to be huge in the near future and blow up! Once I get to 10 or so paid Members it goes up to $50 per month or $500 per year, then $100/ $1,000! Jump on this yall and also top right corner I believe, check out our very generous affiliate program as you can actually get paid to refer people! Thank Yall, We love and appreciate every one of you and will be delivering an amazing guitar system. WE ALREADY ARE! BTW the way to level up on here is Participation and getting likes and comments. So like other peoples stuff and get liked and one day we will all hold Black Guitar Straps! lol If I missed anyone, please post yourself in the comments! We have some amazing talent here!

For premium members check masterclass 4 yall! I took Sids handwritten Bach Sequences and him and Shawns idea and put it to work over various situations to really show you how to develop the mind frame for the Curriculum!

I have been playing around with different configurations to teach the fretboard with cameras, books/ notation, Interval Matrix Pro, and the Light up Guitar Neck on my Fishman Triple Play. Let me know what yall think? I get a lot of people asking how to use the app and here is a great example. Shawn also really loved Ted Greenes Guitar Playing. Here is a copy of Chord Chemistry in PDF as well ;)

(Obvious ones first) Stevie Ray Vaughan Jimmie Vaughan/Fabulous Thunderbirds Eric Johnson Gary Clark Jr (ones you probably don’t know) Chris Duarte (UNBELIEVABLE PLAYER) Van Wilks (ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST UNDERRATED, best friend’s with Billy Gibbons and EJ. He had SRV’s bass player Tommy Shannon in his band called Fools in the 70s before he went to go play with SRV in Double Trouble. Tommy Shannon was also Johnny Winter’s bass player for awhile too. The band Fools was Austin’s original blues rock trio. I am friends with Van and have taken lessons from him before.) David Grissom (very cool and unique style) Monte Montgomery (killer acoustic player, friend’s with Tommy Immanuel) Jake Andrews (friends with EJ, AMAZING PLAYER. I am friends with him and have taken lessons from him as well.) Ian Moore (a vibe of his own) Will Owen Gage (unbelievable left handed 🎸player from San Antonio area) Gary Cain (Canadian, lived here for a little bit, now lives in England. Imagine SRV, Eric Johnson and Danny Gatton put into one man, that’s Gary. CRAZY!!) Dave Scher (MONSTER 🎸 PLAYER!! Has played many shows and toured with Eric Johnson, just out of this world as a musician in general, plays multiple instruments, sings, etc. But his guitar playing is unreal) Billy White (from Austin, played guitar with Don Dokken for a little bit and then moved back to Austin and had his own cool band called the Billy White Trio. Outstanding guitar player, now I believe he’s a Buddhist monk. My aunt went to high school with him. She knew he was gonna go play for Don Dokken before the word got out.) Shane Johnson (Imagine Dragons guitar/amp tech lives in the Austin area when not touring with them. He builds/repairs guitars, amps, pedals, etc but is also one of the best guitar players I’ve ever seen in my life!!!) Jennifer Harrold (baddest girl ever. She’s like a female Jimi Hendrix) Johnny McGowan is a badass country and rockabilly player David Spann (shredder from Hell, similar to EJ)

Check under Demos, this was on one of the taped from David Flexer!
