    “I wish I had all this information earlier in life but I’m definitely getting a lot out of this course now. I really want to nail down my rhythm playing and, based on what I’ve seen so far, this course will help me get there.” - Keith M

  • Nathan

    “I cannot stress enough how much this course is needed in the guitar community! There are so many people in the guitar teaching community who don’t teach this stuff, which is a disservice to guitar players. I’m only on lesson 1, but that alone-plus looking at what’s ahead-I can already tell that this is going to be good. If you play guitar, or want to play guitar, this is a great course for you.” - Nathan

  • Peter

    “I am only up to lesson 10, but this is already the most useful course I have ever taken! No-one ever teaches the concepts of Rhythm. For most, Rhythm is the thing you do while waiting do do your solo. But it is the rhythm that makes the music. No teacher ever showed me the options to strum or accent the guitar, and what that has to do with rhythm patterns. Thank you Jake!.” - Peter

What's Included in the Rhythm Guitar Course?

I’m offering this course on the honor system. It is well worth the price of a college course, or many months of in-person lessons with a qualified instructor. However, I understand that not everyone can pay those prices. Please pay whatever price you can without financially stressing yourself.

Who is Jake Lizzio?

Signals Music Studio

After performing in highschool bands and talent shows, I began teaching during my Senior Year in highschool at Crystal Lake South in 2004.

I went on to teach at Piano Trends Music Company in Crystal Lake, and there I began expanding my skills outside of just the guitar and began performing for weddings and private events. After leaving to teach privately, I began recording my students and myself.

This hobby eventually turned into a profession after I acquired the experience and equipment needed to produce quality audio and music. My goal now is to provide the highest quality online music lessons available and within reach to all who are interested.

Go to my website signalsmusicstudio.com and create a free account, if you haven’t already, then click on courses and find my rhythm guitar training course. – Jake Lizzio

founder From there you can enter your own price and begin your studies. This course is actually worth the same amount as any college course or multiple months of real in-person guitar lessons so if you can’t afford that please pay that, I understand that not everybody can afford those rates and I really don’t want to disqualify anybody from learning music just because they don’t have money. So this is the honor system, pay what you can, within reason, without financially stressing yourself.

Additional Testimonials

Being familiar with Jake’s videos, I had very very high expectations of his new course on rhythm. In the interest of full disclosure, I am not very far along in the course work, but Jake is teaching this from the ground up presented in a plain and understandable manner. If you are on the fence about purchasing his course then take my word, as well as the word from others. You will be pleased.

2 days into the course and I’m unlocking things that my brain has always stumbled on. Most online teachers ramble through their thoughts with random demos where you pause the video and try to imitate, but these are pro lessons – concise concepts, clear delivery, with exercises prepared and ready to follow along, and handouts for self-study. The kind of teacher I’ve always wanted.

One of the most imperative yet, mostly underestimated, ignored, and overseen aspects of learning music – Rhythm. Thank you for this course.

I was impressed by all of Jake’s Youtube video. Obviously this course is no different. This is probably the best rhythm course I have ever come across. I already start to feel the progress by exactly following his instructions. Thanks for putting this together.
