Inside the Course

Over 2 Hours of Lessons

  • Find Your Voice

    Creating an original voice and sound on your instrument can be one of the most difficult parts of the process. I'll give you the most effective paths that helped me to find my own.

  • Learn New Licks

    Transcription is at the core of my learning process, and we'll explore some great concepts and exercises for finding and implementing new licks.

  • Motivic Development

    With motivic development you can create an endless stream of ideas for solos and bass lines, and never feel like you don't know what to play.
