"I’m already recording the kind of metal I’ve always wanted to play."
“Jason is hands down the best at making it easy and understandable!
I’m 41 and had years of playing what I’d call mediocre guitar — always outside my favorite genre. I finally decided to dive into metal, but didn’t know where to start. After searching YouTube, I found Jason. He makes everything easy to understand.
The lessons aren’t ‘easy,’ but they work — my picking and fingering have improved so much that I’m already recording the kind of metal I’ve always wanted to play.”
— Joshua Kingstone

Real Guitarists. Real Progress.
Thousands of guitarists around the world are improving their playing through the Academy. Here’s what a few of them had to say:
“Your lessons helped me finally improve on electric guitar.”
I’ve played guitar for many years, mostly acoustic, and bought my first electric in 2019.
I love metal and I’m really glad I found Jason on YouTube — his lessons helped me make real progress.
— Csaba Szabo
“Jason’s lessons help me find my style.”
I love combining Maiden and Metallica influences, and Jason’s approach helped me finally make it my own.
His courses opened new ways to hear and play metal.
— Kent L.
“Taken my guitar playing to another level!”
I’ve only been playing for a year, and Jason’s lessons helped me level up faster than I imagined.
The riffs, structure, and encouragement made it all click.

Jason’s lessons helped me tighten my rhythm and write better riffs.

— Thorsten
Real players. Real results. The next story could be yours.
Some members say it better than I ever could!
"I'm loving the hell out of your course. For 10 fking years I've been looking for a course like yours. I've been all over the internet, including Lick Library, Truefire, Jam Track Central, etc. I'm not saying they are bad. They don't have a true learning path like your course. I love it and I'm learning.
The advice you gave about not trying to be like other players is exactly what I needed to hear. I've wasted time and money on the other websites. They may be for some players but I can't connect with them.
Keep doing whatever you're doing. It truly is a unique guitar learning course."
