Troy Stetina Music Academy

Rock like a pro with this comprehensive course by legendary guitar educator/author Troy Stetina. It's partly about what you learn and play; but it's more about how you play it that really matters. Here, you'll learn the inns and outs that separate amateur from professional.

Heavy Rhythm Guitar Mastery offers a self-paced, structured learning environment within a supportive guitar community. The course is presented in two Parts, both of which you have access to with the Ignite Membership bundle. 

In Part I we start at the basics and take you by the hand through each step of the process with video walkthrus of all material including:

• Relevant forms of chording (finger control)
• Loads of riffs and progressions to fully train your hands
• Learn rhythm notation along with how to execute flawless timing
• Apply effective practice strategy
• Begin the ear training process to lay the groundwork for advanced musicianship
• Grasp fundamentals of music theory as you see them applied in real music
• 12 musical song studies from Troy's books with video walkthrus in Part I (and 12 more in Part II).
• 60 well-known songs from the 1970s up to today within Part I (and another set of 60 in Part II) arranged in 12 progressive learning stages.

Heavy Rhythm Guitar Mastery was created both for beginners and intermediate players. If you've played for years but have gotten stuck, unsure what you are missing, this is also an ideal course for you. You see, plateaus happen when you've missed some fundamental skills and concepts. This course builds the solid foundation you need to keep moving forward!
