DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
❌ You finally get some time to play, then spend half of it trying to decide what to practice, so you just end up playing riffs you already know or noodle around.
❌ You sit down to write something new, but your fingers go straight back to the same few chord shapes you know. And even in a different tuning, your ideas start to sound a bit samey.
❌ You’ve got 30-second recording notes of riffs you like, but you have no idea of how to develop them.
❌ You know a bunch of chords, but when you want to convey a certain mood like bittersweet or dreamy, it just feels like you're guessing.
❌ You understand fragments of theory but don’t know how to apply them creatively.
You don’t need more disconnected information. You need a clear path that shows you what to learn, how to practise it, and how to turn it into music.
Learning to play and write my own math rock songs took me over a decade, but for you, it could take just a few months.
I knew learning math rock guitar was going to be a challenge but nothing could have prepared me for how difficult it turned out to be…
I had no idea where to start, there were no materials to learn from nor could I find any guitarists to help teach me.
I was reaching the intermediate stage with a few years of playing experience under my belt. My listening skills were pretty crappy, and my music theory knowledge was just as bad, making this feel like an impossible task.
I'd spend many hours searching the internet for tabs and anything that could help me.
And when I did find tabs, they were almost always wrong, and trying to figure out what guitarists were playing from blurry live videos shot on old mobile phones really didn't help.
To help me on the journey, I went to music school. I was slowly filling in important gaps in my playing, but while I learned a ton there...
IT STILL TOOK ME YEARS... more than a decade to be precise
Looking back, I know I could have improved so much faster if I had the knowledge I have now, and that’s when I realized, if I could do this, then so could others.
But I didn’t want it to take them years to figure it out the hard way like I did.
So I turned my plan into a complete math rock learning roadmap for guitrarists, and tested it with aspiring math rock learners.
And it worked like this.
All they needed to do were three things:
1. Learn concepts
2. Practice them through exercises
3. Apply what they learned
It’s such an obvious system, but it got results because it focused on getting guitarists to use what they learn rather than throwing a whole bunch of exercises at them and stopping there like most generic guitar courses do.
This resulted in them making progress in a matter of weeks, not years.
So before I tell you the nitty gritty details of how you can do it too, check out the results these guitarists got👇
How to Actually Learn Math Rock Guitar Without Wasting Time
The secret to learning math rock guitar without it taking you years is simple:
✅ Learn the essential skills (in the right order)
✅ Focus on mastering those concepts (practice)
✅ Practice applying them to your own playing (applying theory)
The best way to do that is to spend a decade of frustrating trial and error working that all out for yourself.
Fortunately, you don’t have to because I’ve done all the hard work for you.
The Math Rock Roadmap is the only step-by-step system in existence that provides a clear roadmap to learning, writing, and playing math rock guitar by simplifying advanced math rock techniques, applying theory creatively, and provides a clear framework for writing your own songs.
Unlike other self-paced courses, this course focuses on applying on what you are learning, so you can get better faster.
INTRODUCING THE MATH ROCK ROADMAP
The proven, step-by-step guitar roadmap that shows you exactly what to practice, and how, so you actually improve. No more confusion. No more wasted time. Just results.
Here's what you’ll be able to do
✅ Spend your practice time playing. The Roadmap shows you what to work on and in what order. Even if you’ve only got 20 minutes, you can pick up where you left off and get straight to playing.
✅ Build the skills to play the ideas you hear in your head. Across six courses, you’ll work on clean chord changes, tapping, fingerstyle, and finding your way around FACGCE. Then you’ll use those skills to write progressions that fit the mood you want and develop them into songs.
✅ Turn an exercise into a riff of your own. With my Learn, Practise, Apply system, you’ll get a technique under your fingers, hear how it works in a real riff, then try it in your own writing. A tapping exercise, for example, can become a melody over a chord you already love.
✅ Know what to do if you get stuck. If a chord keeps buzzing or a tapping phrase sounds messy, ask a question beneath the lesson video. You can get guidance on the part that’s giving you trouble and come back to it with something specific to try.
✅ Get a tricky passage flowing at your own pace. Follow the on-screen tab and chord diagrams to see where your fingers go.
✅ Hear how the techniques fit together in music you enjoy. Explore over 40 riffs and songs with a guitarist’s ear. Notice how a picked melody brings out the top note of a chord, or how a change in rhythm gives a familiar chord shape a different feel.
