'Pro Secrets' — That Will Help You Get Past Whatever Is Holding You Back
And (Finally) MASTER Rock Guitar — Guaranteed.”
So tell me . . .
How long have you owned that guitar of yours?
A year? Five years? TEN years? Even longer?
If you’re reading this, my bet is that you’ve probably been playing for a while. You probably know a few songs. (Or at least parts of some songs.) You might even be able to impress your friends when you’ve all had a few beers.
But how good ARE you?
Honestly.
Because I wonder …
How often is it you find yourself wishing you were better, wishing your hands moved more fluidly, wishing you had more control over your playing?
How long ago was it that you sort of hit a plateau and just kinda stopped getting any better?
The reason I ask is …
I See It — ALL. THE. TIME.
With Guitarists All Over the World
Heck, just about everyone I've seen start out playing guitar runs into the same hang-ups.
I know guys who confess to wasting YEARS on picking up stuff early on (a little here, a little there) that they should have hammered out in a month or two.
Sure — learning (much less mastering) any instrument takes some time.
But it sure as hell doesn’t need to take as long as we usually seem to think.
The problem is, no one shares with you, early on, the two or three critical DIFFERENCES OF APPROACH that top pros come to acquire ... but which lifelong beginners never seem to discover. (Or more accurately, maybe, the key differences amateurs never allow themselves to accept ...)
Fact is, pro guitarists (heck, any great guitarists you could name) THINK about guitar in a completely different way.
And armed with just a few of those key distinctions they've picked up —
YOU Could Achieve More In 6 MONTHS
Than Most Would-Be Guitarists Learn in a Lifetime
Think about that.
Seriously.
If picking up on just a few ultra-important ideas could have THAT kind of impact on your guitar playing … Wouldn't you want to know what they are?
You would if you really wanted to play the guitar and become GREAT at it.
And you would if you were sick of going from month to month, year to year, without making any real progress.
Which is why I’m going to share with you those three all-important distinctions ... what I call
"The TRIPLE-PILLAR Mastery Approach."
The "Triple-Pillar Mastery Approach" is the pivotal combination of just THREE THINGS that separate the guys who make massive progress in a ridiculously short time … from the guys who just sort of stumble along year after year and ultimately end up shoving their guitars off in a closet.
Three things that make ALL the difference.
What are they?
What's this "Triple-Pillar Mastery Approach" I'm talking about?
Glad you asked.
And I’ll tell ya.
But first let me share with real quick you how I figured this thing out, and why I know it works …
OK. So I'm Joe. And That Bearded Guy — That's My Best Friend Jake.
We both started playing at age 12. And we both started lessons together under this rather mysterious local guitar legend named Sebastian.
First day we met him, he told us: "Ya know. Steve Vai started lessons with Joe Satriani at age 12."
He then gave us an unimpressed look and added, "We better get busy."
Now, the thing with Sebastian was ... you couldn't figure out WHY he was teaching guitar. To us, he was like Eddie Van Halen or something. So what was he doing teaching us? Shouldn't he be off touring Europe?
But it turned out Sebastian just loved teaching. It was really that simple.
And the intensity he brought to it was just plain weird. He wasn't like anyone we had ever met before, that's for sure. Definitely in the Satriani and Vai camp. You could tell that first day: this guy took guitar SERIOUSLY.
He was of course weirdly talented (no question about that).
But more importantly, he had weird ways of teaching guitar.
Not that we gave him much to work with there at the start. (I seem to recall Jake wowing him the first lesson with his signature demonstration of "Smoke on the Water" ... played with one finger on the sixth and fifth strings ... upside down ... Oh, yeah. Rock star stuff.)
But turned out it didn't matter where we started. Because the thing was, Sebastian knew how to teach. And not just how to teach the way normal guitar instructors teach. He had a whole other thing going on.
And while it seemed weird at the time (some of the scale work he assigned was like something out of an alien textbook, where the aliens all had twelve fingers on each hand), it clearly WORKED.
Because as weird as some of it seemed, it was always a BLAST.
And without hardly even realizing it ... Jake and I got really good — and we got good real quick.
In hardly no time at all we were blazing past all of our other guitarist friends. We got WAY better WAY quicker than any of them, while they were all struggling along on their own or taking lessons somewhere else (and probably bored half to death by THEIR teachers).
And I'm Convinced Our Insane Progress All Came Down to The WAY We Were Taught — Specifically the 3 THINGS Sebastian Emphasized Constantly
And what he emphasized (endlessly it seemed) was what I later dubbed the "Triple-Pillar Mastery Approach."
It was this approach — this specific focus — that first transformed the two of us into serious guitarists ...
... then into talented guitarists ...
... then into performing guitarists.
The "Triple-Pillar Mastery Approach" to Getting REALLY Good at the Guitar
(In a Very Short Amount of Time — IF You're Willing To Put In the Work)
Here it goes.
Ready?
It all comes down to these three key areas of focus . . .
Concentrate (the Right Way)
on Your CORE TECHNIQUE
Beginners far too often develop crummy habits. And those habits can take years to shake.
Even guitarists who have been playing forever inadvertently restrict their own development simply because they never had someone teach them the BEST way to execute the most fundamental techniques early on.
SO much of how well you play comes down to learning to FOCUS (on the right stuff) while you practice.
WHAT you practice and HOW you practice — counts.
And if you pay attention to just a few key subtleties, it can make a huge difference. Because the subtleties compound.
Which is why, if you take the time to really fine-tune your technique early on (playing through challenging exercises with an emphasis on accuracy and tone), you'll develop your muscle memory (and your ear) in such a way that everything becomes infinitely easier.
It's kinda like taking the time to fine-tune a high performance engine. Once you do, the thing will race like never before.
So — To Put This In Practice:
* Tip 1: Make time every day to sit down with a few challenging finger exercises and really focus on perfect execution, perfect picking, perfect tone.
* Tip 2: Each week choose one core technique (like vibrato, slides, bends, etc.) and come up with a dozen or more licks that challenge your ability to execute them flawlessly. No extra ringing strings, no sloppy fingering, no picking mistakes.
* Tip 3: Each month pick out one new song or guitar solo to really master. (Choose something realistic, but something that will challenge you.) Break it down and identify the hardest passages and repeat them over and over until you can play them fluidly, with special attention given to obtaining an easy grace with your picking hand and confident control over every phrase.
Don't Just Learn "Music Theory" For Its
Own Sake — Learn to USE IT
Most guitarists pick up a few chords and scales as they learn their instrument, but it's not enough to just know the stuff ... And it's not enough to know only the easy stuff ...
What matters to a pro-caliber player is knowing the truly IMPORTANT components of music theory — and knowing how that theory brings everything together ... in the songs you're learning, in the stuff you're writing yourself, in the way you jam and the way you work in a band.
When you're learning music theory, you should always be concentrating on how you're going to put it to USE in your actual playing.
It takes some time, but with the right approach and the right eye for patterns, it ultimately all CLICKS. And from that point on, you're talking a whole new ball game.
Pro guitarists THINK differently from amateurs. And while beginners tend to want to dismiss that idea, a large measure of the confidence they see in professional musicians comes from their complete mastery of music theory.
If you ever want to play in a serious band or get work in a studio as a session player, you've gotta learn this stuff.
So — To Put This In Practice:
* Tip 1: Start with the basics. You've gotta know your major and minor scales (all the patterns, every position). There are cool ways to master those in a shorter amount of time, but even if you don't know the tricks, just get in there and learn them.
* Tip 2: But don't just memorize patterns. Chord patterns and scale patterns are obviously the place you'll start. But soon as possible, switch over to thinking in terms of the NOTES you're playing and the INTERVALS involved in the various chords. This will not only help you learn stuff quicker, it will make you more proficient in every way.
* Tip 3: That one song you're learning every month? Break it down. Take the time to sit down with the sheet music or tab, and go through the whole thing. Figure out what key it's in. Figure out the chord progression (and why it works the way it works). Figure out the scales used in the various licks and in the solo. You'll be surprised at how much you can learn from even a single Iron Maiden song.
Get Real Serious about
Focused IMPROVISATION
Learning to take a few scales and dink around with them over a jam track or a chord sequence sounds easy enough. (Or maybe it doesn't. Beginners often completely freak out when you first tell them to "just jam over it!")
But ultimately it goes beyond simply developing the courage to noodle around on a particular pattern.
Great improvisation is about learning to combine theory and technique ... and finding MUSIC in there.
Few things will make you into a more accomplished player quicker than developing a serious regime involving in-depth improvisation sessions, where you're creating something, where the music you're hearing in your mind comes out through your hands and your guitar ...
So — To Put This In Practice:
* Tip 1: Make time at the end of every practice to take some of the theory you've been working on and put it to use while just jamming. This is the best way to lock that stuff in.
* Tip 2: Get into the habit of playing over jam tracks — but not just jamming over them blindly, rather going into it with a clear idea of the chords and the scales you're going to be working with. Soon as possible though, shift to putting your attention on the sound, on the tone ... This is where you develop your ear as well as your technique, and where you gain a sense of working with bass and drums, and learn to hear how the scales work up against the chords behind them.
* Tip 3: Soon as possible make a point of getting together with other actual musicians. Find a drummer and a bassist. Find another guitarist. Find a keyboardist if you want. But get with other musicians and practice improvising over live music, creating it on the stop, seeing where it takes you. This is where you'll develop your real confidence and begin to discover your own style.
Now ... maybe some of that seems obvious ...
But trust me, it's NOT.
Truth is, it's just too darn easy to just get caught up "playing" the guitar. I mean ... playing guitar is fun. And ya want to play some songs, right?
But I meet guys all the time who have been "playing" for ten, twenty years ... and they're no better than they were a year or two after they first started!
How can that possibly be?
Easy.
Comes down to one thing: They never really locked in the fundamentals of technique and theory ... much less learned how to bring the two together.
Put another way, they never learned WHAT to practice early on, HOW to best practice it, or (most important) how to best USE it.
(In large part because they never learned the best WAY to practice all that stuff, where mastering all those fundamentals actually becomes fun and authentically useful.)
But What If There Were An EASY Way To Learn All That Stuff?
As it happens ... there is.
It's taken almost a year to put together, but Jake and I are excited to announce that we've not only assembled a complete online course based on the training system Sebastian used to take us to mastery ... but we even went and brought Sebastian himself in as a consultant to make sure we didn't miss anything. (And also to see what else he had cooked up since we last studied under him.)
The result?
By far the coolest thing we've ever done.
And (we hope) the one thing that is going to completely revolutionize your playing ...
Introducing the "Guitar Mastery Workshop"
with Joey Moretti and Jake Thorsen
If you want to learn this "Triple Pillar Mastery Approach" from the ground up and advance further in the next six months than most guitarists ever accomplish in ten or fifteen years . . .
Then you've shown up at exactly the right place, at exactly the right time.
Because right now you can get in on the brand new "Guitar Mastery Workshop" here during the initial launch — a complete course of rock guitar training, entirely online, which you can access for life on any computer (or even on an iPad or a smart phone).
What's more, if you join us during this initial launch, you'll also get to hop onboard with a group of other guitarists from all over the world — a bunch of cool guitarists ranging in skill from beginner to high-intermediate — and share music and ideas (and even collaborate) over on our private Facebook Group dedicated exclusively to the guitarists working through the course.
How Much Training Is Involved? And Is This One of Those 10,000-Video Sites?!
We're building out the whole thing to take you anywhere from 6 months to a year to work through, depending on how far along you are already and just how deep you want to go with it.
And what it's NOT is one of those crazy mega-sites with 10,000+ videos by dozens of instructors in dozens of styles, so convoluted you hardly know where to begin much less how to proceed from month to month ...
Nope. Those are crazy. And probably the worst place you can try to begin.
The "Guitar Mastery Workshop" is instead orchestrated to take you step by step through EXACTLY the course of study you need to move through if you want to:
— Establish all the best possible habits,
— Learn all the most important ideas,
— And position yourself and your playing so that you can ultimately take your rock guitar skills to a pro level.
This is the ONE workshop you want to go through BEFORE you go mess around with one of those gargantuan conglomerate sites with thousands of videos on it.
The training here is going to set you on the right track.
In fact, what you learn in this workshop is going to line you up for to succeed at playing guitar at a level you probably can't even imagine yet.
What All is Included in the"Guitar Mastery Workshop":
- Downloadable Resources: Throughout the entire course you'll have access to quality materials you can download to make your practice sessions all the more productive. These include neck diagrams, tab, even Guitar Pro files for every lesson . . .
-
Professional Studio Jam Tracks: We've gone into the studio with a full band and prepared a bunch of slick jam tracks for you to work with while going through the training. You can find jam tracks everywhere nowadays, but these fit the training perfectly.
-
Bonus Training: We're also in the process of developing several additional training courses we plan to eventually sell separately — but you're going to get them FREE as bonuses in the original "Guitar Mastery Workshop." Right out the gate you'll learn how to put together your first band WORTH jamming with (so you can enjoy all the benefits, with none of the drama), and you'll learn how to woodshed a song to perfection ...
Is the "Guitar Mastery Workshop" Right For You?
Who This Training is Really BEST For . . .
This training is perfectly orchestrated to take someone from beginner to intermediate to advanced rock guitar.
So it's perfect for beginners.
But it's ALSO perfect for mid-level guitarists who want to push themselves further and get past whatever has been holding them back up until now.
So even if you're already an intermediate-level player, the training we've assembled will take you back through all the core fundamentals (approached the RIGHT way) and give you more than enough to challenge you, overcome whatever has been holding you up, and push you to an entirely new level.
So Who Is It NOT Really For?
It's certainly not for advanced guitarists who already know all their theory and have their technique polished.
If you can already shred like Yngwie Malmsteen, this probably isn't for you.
Nor is it for someone who just wants to learn to play some songs.
There are TONS of sites out there to help you play songs. Heck, there are video games for that nowadays.
So if you just want to learn to play a few things and you're really not bent on becoming serious, this probably isn't the place you're going to want to be.
But if you DO want to get serious ... if you DO want to push yourself and your playing further than you ever thought possible ... then you're in the right place, and you're going to love what we have in store for you.
And Seriously ... Compare This to Private Lessons
Private lessons? Nowadays?! Good grief. Why?!
Nowadays it just doesn’t make sense to bother driving back and forth to private lessons each week, dropping anywhere from 20 to 40 bucks a lesson so you can spend most of the time watching your instructor show off.
Frankly, with private lessons anymore, you usually end up paying too much for too little.
The hassle of blocking out that exact chunk of time each week ... the hassle of getting there on time ... the hassle of lugging your equipment back and forth ...
Back before the internet maybe it made sense. It was the only thing going.
But anymore, it just makes WAY more sense to learn online — where you can take it at your own pace, spend as much time as you like (whenever you like), and revisit lessons as often as you need to to really get something down.
And with a course like "The Guitar Mastery Workshop," you even have a cool private online community you can hang with, where you can get all the direct feedback and interaction you could want or need.
And Compare the Price!
Even six months of private lessons (where you're getting just 1 hour a week) ... is going to run you EASILY $600.
Which is why it's such a STEAL being able to grab LIFETIME ACCESS to the entire "Guitar Mastery Workshop" (bonuses and all) ... during this launch ... for only $57.
Which is 75% OFF the normal pricing.
And literally LESS THAN 10 PERCENT of what you would drop on just one private lesson a week across the span of only six months.
Think about that for a sec.
Most of our private students pay $25 an hour. So they drop about DOUBLE the price of this entire course EVERY MONTH to take lessons at the music store.
And realistically, the course of study we've put together for you is probably going to take you a YEAR to work through. (During which time you'll probably make 10 YEARS of progress.)
If you divide that $57 out over 12 months ... you're really only talking $4.75 a month.
Less than five bucks a month!
You probably can't even drive to and from a private guitar lesson for less than that much in gas each week. And here we're talking a full month of training. (Which you actually get access to for LIFE.)
It just doesn't get any better than that.
So . . .

Here's what some of the first students (and some of our peers) are already saying:
As a music teacher myself, I know how daunting learning a new skill can be. It’s easy to get frustrated and want to give up, but Jake made my initial lesson a blast. His knowledge and passion make each lesson not only educational, but fun, as well. I cannot recommend the course enough.
- Lila C.
Joe is a brilliant, kind, and immensely creative individual. He is naturally gifted in helping others, and combined with his mind-blowing talent with an ax in-hand, Joe is the best educator for anyone from beginner to advanced. I can think of countless instances where our band was out a guitarist or a bassist last minute — and Joe was always our first choice of help (if we were lucky enough and he was free to grace us with his presence), because his ear and ability are insanely hard to find. Who can learn 4 hours worth of new material a few hours before a gig? Joe can. And the music he creates on-stage cannot be described in words. I mean, really, how am I supposed to sum up the abilities this gentleman can provide in music within a simple testimonial? I highly suggest you recognize the truth for yourself; take a leap and the sky is your limit. Two thumbs up. Five Stars. HIGHLY recommended.
- Jessica Kuohn
I’ve known Jake and Joe for many years. They took lessons from me a long time ago, and even then, I was impressed with their ability to learn new things, see material from a different perspective and make it their own. I can’t count the times I tried to give them lessons and they showed ME something that just blew me away! I highly recommend Guitar Mastery Workshop and can’t say enough good things about them and their ability make the guitar attainable.
- Chuck Stohl (Damien, Stohl-n)
Jake is a professional. He knows how to play the guitar and he knows how to teach it … plain and simple. I’ve been taking private lessons with him for about six months now and I am leagues ahead of where I once was. His lessons are always low pressure, but highly productive. If you take this course and put forth the effort like I have, I guarantee nothing will stop you from growing as a guitarist and musician.
- Jack G.
As someone who's been playing at a mediocre level (basically just strumming chords) for almost 20 years, I've finally decided to step up my game and actually LEARN how to play! Getting into all of the theory (which you actually make fun) and mastering the scales has got me thinking differently about how I approach the guitar now. Instead of just memorizing chords to songs I wanted to play I'm now able to improvise, play solos, and even write some of my own stuff, which is what I've always wanted to do. Can't begin to tell you how AWESOME this course is ... it's exactly what I've been looking for.
Great course! The lessons are nicely laid out, are easy to follow, easy to understand. The instructors seem very knowledgeable and are fun to watch. I love the idea of being able to communicate with others going through the course over on the private Facebook group, that was a nice touch!
- Jill Gulch
Honestly, I tried other online courses and they're just too overwhelming. Who is ever really going to go through thousands of videos or even hope to pick out what matters and what doesn't? The Guitar Mastery Workshop makes it all perfectly clear and straightforward. It doesn't mess around. So far it's just flat getting the job done. I love it.
