Welcome To The Membership
Youβre in.
One of the best parts of the membership is that you donβt have to figure everything out on your own, but with a big library, it can be hard to know where to start.
This page is here to help with that.
Instead of bouncing around randomly, choose the path that fits what you want to improve most right now. Each path gives you a clear place to begin, plus the next courses to move into after that.
You donβt need to go through everything or follow a perfect order.
Just pick the lane that matches your current goal, start with the first course in that section, and work forward from there.
Not sure where to start? Most members should begin with either Foundations of Rhythm | Classic Rock Edition or CAGED Unleashed, depending on whether they want to improve rhythm or lead first
Path: Start With Rhythm
Best for members who want tighter timing, better groove, stronger strumming, and more confidence playing with other musicians.
Why this path works:Β If your playing feels loose, stiff, or underdeveloped, rhythm is the best place to start. Foundations of Rhythm | Classic Rock Edition helps build core groove, timing, strumming, muting, and rock rhythm feel. From there, Nashville Sessions takes that foundation further by showing you how to build more professional, musical rhythm parts and how to think in terms of arrangement, hooks, and two-guitar interplay. From there, the Tim Pierce courses help you apply those skills in a more real-world, pro-player context.
If your goal is to sound better fast, this is one of the strongest starting points in the membership.

Path: Learn the Fretboard + Soloing Basics
Best for members who feel lost on the neck, get stuck in boxes, or want a clear soloing foundation.
Why this path works: CAGED Unleashed is the clearest fretboard roadmap in the library. It helps members connect chord shapes, scale shapes, and pentatonics across the neck. Once that framework starts making sense, the pentatonic courses give players a practical lead-guitar path, first by learning the minor or major pentatonic language, then by learning how to phrase, connect positions, and improvise more musically. The Stache of Licks courses fit nicely after that because they help build a real vocabulary you can actually use in solos.
Choose Minor Pentatonic first if you want a bluesier, grittier sound. Choose Major Pentatonic first if you want a brighter, more melodic sound.

Path: Build Your Blues Soloing
Best for members who want to become stronger blues players, improvise better, and sound more expressive.
Why this path works: This is the most complete βbecome a blues soloistβ track in the membership. The Brett Papa pentatonic courses build the actual soloing framework, then Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonic teaches players how to create more emotional contrast and sound less repetitive. From there, the guest artist courses help members move from scale knowledge into real style, feel, musicality, phrasing, and harmonic sophistication.
If you already know your minor pentatonic shapes, you can skip straight to Level 2 or Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonic.
Start here if you are newer to lead:

Then move into broader blues style development:
Path: Play in a Hendrix / Blues-Rock Style
Best for members who love Hendrix, classic blues-rock, expressive phrasing, and rhythm/lead crossover playing.
Why this path works:Β Hendrix Unleashed gives members Brettβs core Hendrix-style foundation, covering rhythm embellishments, lead phrasing, thumb-over ideas, and tone concepts. Next Level Hendrix is a strong next step for a broader Hendrix vocabulary study, while Deep Cuts moves further into the jam-era phrasing and more exploratory side of his playing. The blues-rock courses then widen that style into a bigger lead vocabulary and a more versatile voice.
This is the right path if you want to blur the line between rhythm and lead.

Helpful support courses:
Path: Sound More Pro in Bands and Recordings
Best for members who want to create better guitar parts, play more musically in songs, and think like a session player.
Why this path works: This path is for players who do not just want more licks, they want better musical judgment. Nashville Sessions helps members hear rhythm guitar like a working musician, not just a hobbyist. Full Spectrum Guitar expands that into a more complete rhythm and lead approach, and Making The Song helps players think about arrangement, layering, tones, and what a track actually needs.
If you write songs, record at home, or play in a band, start here.

Path: Expand Into Theory and New Sounds
Best for members who want to get beyond pentatonics, understand note choices better, and explore more advanced sounds.
Why this path works: This path helps members move from fretboard clarity into color, contrast, and more advanced melodic choices. CAGED Unleashed helps organize the neck, Mixing Major and Minor Pentatonic teaches tonal contrast in a very musical way, and Master of Modes opens the door to modal improvisation and a broader harmonic palette.
This is a great path for intermediate players who feel ready for something deeper than basic pentatonic soloing.

Path: Bonus, Learn Bass as a Guitarist
Best for members who want to understand groove better, record their own bass parts, or become a more complete musician.
Why this path works: This is a great side path for guitarists who want stronger time, groove, and band awareness. It is also especially useful for members who record their own music or want to understand the rhythm section more deeply.
