The Tutor - Jack Jordan

As a semi-professional musician, I play guitar, perform and record regularly in various groups and ensembles across the country.

I have been playing the Guitar and studying music for 11 years. In this time I have gained a vast amount of experience and knowledge not only about the guitar its self but also within the music industry, through Composing, arranging, recording, performing and touring with groups and artists across the country.

In 2007 I became the “LIQUIDISCO” Best Guitarist, a national music competition where I beat off over 4000 other guitar players voted for by representatives of LAG guitars. During the same year, I as part of a group won the Ukskills gold award in popular music, and the UMF (university music fest.) First prize award, both again voted for industry Professionals.

Synopsis

Jack has put together a series of guitar master classes. He covers a wide variety of guitar techniques including dorian sweep picking and two hand tapping licks. He has designed a guitar legends play like series where he teaches to play in the style of Kirk Hammet, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen and Slash. He also covers a wide variety of guitar tricks from making your guitar sound like an elephant to slide hybrid picking. These lessons are not for the feint hearted and should pose a challenge even to the most accomplished of guitarists.

His impressive knowledge of music theory helps to develop lessons that are logical and progressive. Chris has used all these skills to devise a Rock Star Challenge that will test your skills and improve your playing.

Synopsis

The Rock Star Challenge tests your ability as a guitarist. Work your way through each star, Yellow, Orange, Green, Blue, Brown and Black. When you master the Black Star you have earned Rock Star Status. As you work through each stage you will discover new chords, chord patterns, rhythms, scales, arpeggios, and solos.

At each stage common questions are answered and useful points are explained. Each stage of the challenge gets a little harder until you reach and conquer the Black Star!
