Irmão, só vim agradecer pelo curso, foi meu melhor investimento esse ano, facilitou minha vida 1000x, nao preciso mais ficar vendo tutorial de tabs no youtube, ta muito mais facil compreender as músicas, improvisar e ter pegada na play, e olha que nem cheguei no final do curso hein!08:31

Translated from Portuguese: “Bro, just came by to thank you for the course. Best investment I made this year, it made my life 1000x easier. I don’t need to keep watching tab tutorials on YouTube anymore, it’s so much easier to understand songs, improvise and get that feel when I play, and I’m not even at the end of the course yet!”

Rachid LauarBrazil

Grande mestre, vou mandar a gravação (estou viajando), tava instalando uma interface... estou fazendo o curso e paralelo estou pegando as licks junto ao meu professor de guitarra... ele mesmo curtiu muito o curso... sem sombras de dúvidas sua entrega pra produção foi ímpar11:46

Translated from Portuguese: “Great master, I’ll send the recording (I’m traveling), I was setting up an interface... I’m taking the course and, at the same time, learning the licks with my guitar teacher... he really liked the course too... without a doubt, the work you put into the production was unmatched.”

Victor Lopes SantosBrazil

Não entendo de escala e nem muito de teoria, mas como eu sei mais ou menos o tom da música, eu consegui fazer umas notas que se encaixaram kkk mas longe de ser algo que eu ache “bom” eu to muito cru nessa parte ainda16:31

Muita qualidade nas aulas mano18:25

Assisti algumas já18:25

Translated from Portuguese: “I don’t know much about scales or theory, but since I roughly know the key of the song, I managed to play a few notes that fit, haha, but it’s far from something I’d call “good”, I’m still very raw at this part. / Great quality in the lessons, man. / I’ve already watched some.”

Hey, I just now saw this. I’ve been practicing 30 minutes every day on the masterclass and I’m seeing big improvements in my playing!06:15

Como baixista, confesso que esse curso expandiu muito minha percepção de escalas que eu achava que tirava de letra, mesmo sendo um curso voltado pra guita e violão . O professor é didático, atencioso e tem muita experiência no assunto! Obrigado Victor Fidelis, sucesso!

Translated from Portuguese: “As a bass player, I have to say this course really expanded my sense of scales I thought I had down, even though the course is made for guitar. The teacher explains clearly, is attentive and has a lot of experience on the subject! Thank you, Victor Fidelis, all the best!”

Who it’s for

For people who want to play, not just memorize

Beginners

A clear path. All you need is a guitar and a simple amp.

If you’re stuck

You know a few shapes but can’t improvise.

If you love melodic guitar

The feel and groove of the ’90s and 2000s, like John Frusciante’s.

This isn’t the first guitar course I’ve bought: I’ve bought several, and they all went wrong. Yours, I actually managed to absorb.
