Course Description
Pure Rock Guitar is a huge and exciting guitar lesson package featuring 10 Rock Songs in the style of your favourite Rock Bands: AC/DC, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, The Kings of Leon and The Beatles. Here you will learn to play rock guitar just like these world class bands!
I have used my 25 years of experience as a guitar teacher and touring/recording artist to capture the sound and style of the heavyweights acts to the best of my ability. Authentic riffs and guitar solos. Designed very carefully to teach you many things that are common in the rock genre.
Chords, riffs, rhythms and guitar solos are all explained in great detail. Downloadable MP3 jam tracks are yours to keep. They come at 3 different speeds plus a bare track without guitar. You have TAB onscreen and PDF documents of the tablature for both Rhythm and Lead Guitars to printout. The PDF's also contain the chord charts.
You have nearly 5 hrs of full HD Video with twin camera angles at your disposal for learning. Everything is broken down slowly, note by note in close ups. There is no guesswork.
All rhythm and lead guitar parts are also demonstrated and you have a full play though to watch at the beginning of each chapter, for rhythm and lead guitar. I design my video guitar courses to feel like private guitar lessons. Similar to one on one situation. The best way to learn guitar, especially for beginner guitarists. I feel I have captured the vibe here and in my other courses.
Get involved, enrol now and ill see you in there!

It covers a lot of ground and although all within the Rock genre, quite a few different expressions of electric guitar are explained. I'm not usually a big fan of the Rolling Stones, but I found the section on Keith Richard's guitar technique the most useful and enjoyable.

いちいち言葉で説明されても、全体の流れが分からなくなるのでよろしくない。

Course is just great. Playing in the style of all the greats,is there anything better. Guitar Joolz lays each lesson out in clear fun way to play. Highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to learn rhythm and lead and just have a blast.

Sehr guter Dozent und super Songs zum Üben. Macht Spaß und hilft beim erlernend der verschiedenen Techniken auf der Gitarre! Es wird einem jeder Griff und jeder Riff sehr gut erklärt und es ist sehr gut nachvollziehbar wie man spielen muss! Wer sich hier nicht verbessert, ist selber schuld! Danke schön

Really great course. Truly enjoying it. I wish I had you as a Guitar Teacher when I was younger. It would have made things a lot easier and way more fun. Definitely consider doing a Metal Course, I would be the first one to purchase it! And if you, please consider Iron Maiden, Angra and a Dream Theater Section!

Staying up till 5 am doing Guitarjoolz courses switching to another when I'm fatigued then doing some other guitar course when I'm bored. I'm gonna remember to these times and be happy cuz I'll remember how much better I got over time.

I played acoustic guitar for many years. A few years ago I have an accident and I my left hand and fingers got hurt. Two years ago I bought a Gibson SG, a Marshall and I started again. Your guitar course is so motivating and inspiring to me. I have clearly expand my skills in a short time and I have a lot of fun, even though I had to try so often. Thank you very much!

Good so far but not much explanation so far in terms of what we're doing with chord structures or scales yet but that might be to come. I'm just an impatient bugger! :)

Hi Jools, This course is exceptional and covers a multitude of sins [ range of musicianship ] .I only wish that I had your expertise in carrying off the way your explain it in the videos. Well done Sir & keep doing the business, I can't see how you can go wrong with this. Like the way you've broken it down into easily managed sections. Regards KS

I'm only a small way in and already i have learned so much. The easy explanations, non-jargonistic and the open-ness of Julian, the instructor makes a huge difference in the experience of learning new things. This is a fantastic course and i can't wait to get further into it. Awesome.
