Why this was created?
I sought to give students a consistent predictable framework that students can bend and stretch to their personality too. I wanted to make what I know about the guitar affordable and interactive for the least well of people. Professional Guitar Lessons are $150-400 per month so $1900-$5000 per year; mostly because teachers/students have limited time spots they can teach with %100 dedication to your needs and custom lesson plans. I wanted to help you save time, money, and give you greater flexibility and support using technology. .
The 12 Bar Blues is the most dense, universal, and useful chord progression to learn the guitar and MOST IMPORTANTLY MUSIC! The blues is the true originator of metal. Some may argue classical, but metal is far too rhythmically dense and texturally spicy to have ever sounded good in a cathedral during the classical period.
Who is this for?
This program is for people looking for a map to guitar and musical mastery. People who want to build a solid foundation before they start designing the mural on the ceiling. People that want a fun way to learn chords and how they work together to create atmospheres. Those who want better music awareness in their harmony and rhythm. Those who want a framework to create their own ideas with. People who want to jam with other people. People on a budget that can’t afford private guitar lessons and need more guidance than Youtube, Jamplay, Fender play, Yousician.
The 12 Bar Blues is the test that separates the good from the great.
If you can’t play a “12 bar Blues” you can’t play anything.
I am a musician first and want to put music first. I built this course so people could teach/practice themselves and make music at a very affordable rate.
My goal was to build something very practical and niche that people would use everyday so I could get revenue money from Youtube, the tablature purchases, open up my time more, build a community of creative guitarists, and give back.
I love teaching and learning on the guitar, yet I want to create not recreate. These videos are essential for students to learn. I believe students can learn these videos independently, though I do believe having a teacher will build accountability, be consoling, and more fun.
I believe this course will help you make more music than excuses because all the knowledge is at your finger tips and available 24/7.
I believe this course will help you become a fan of yourself because you will gain insight into what drives you as a musician. What chords, tempos, harmonies move you and where and how you like to play on the guitar.
I am Grant Sherrod and I’m 25 years old. I have played the guitar for 16 years and have taught the guitar for 6 years to dozens of students of various ages, levels, genres, personalities, and guitars. When I learned guitar it wasn’t until I learned the 12 Bar Blues that everything started to make sense. Questions like how do chords fit into scales, how do I know which notes to play, how do harmonies and intervals work, how do I make my own songs all made sense. I also found most of my favorite rock, metal, and blues songs used the 12 Bar in their songs too. Now I find it harder not to think of new ideas!
I’ve taught guitar in home, at the Garage Band Academy, The Bay Area Academy of Music, and at Guitar Center. Now I teach guitar online.
My motivation/learning type is “Give me a map and let me explore” and I like to teach students that way too. I get most excited at creating better ways of achieving goals and creating interactive experiences; which is why I studied Philosophy and Kinesiology.
I have two main goals in my life I’d like to be remembered for “I helped people make more music than excuses” and “I helped people become fans of themselves”. This guitar program embodies both of these principles.
