I have been playing guitar for 30+ years now and would consider myself to have decent technical ability as well as a fairly strong knowledge of music theory. However, I have always struggled to connect the two and never feel satisfied with my ability to solo over changes.
I subscribe to many of the online guitar platforms but often struggle with what material to focus on or to find something that is at the right level. I recently discovered Levi's books and now his online guided practice routines and this is a perfect fit for me.
I am currently going through them, trusting the process and already feel like I'm on the right path to becoming a better player and achieving my goals of connecting my musical ideas to the instrument.
When I first signed up for Levi’s Guided Practice Routines, I was no beginner.
I’d been playing guitar for over 30 years.
Gigging, touring and training other players to level up their technique.
So you might be thinking what could I possibly learn from these routines?
I figured the GPR content would simply polish up what I’d already “mastered”
Minutes after digging into the material, the voice inside me saying “ Bah! Easy! you’ve definitely got this.”
Went very, very quiet.
“Ahhh, you don’t got this…”
Here’s what I found instead:
The routines didn’t just fine-tune my technique, they flipped my entire approach on its head…so not just what I learned—it was what I unlearned.
I’ve been pushed to explore new territories, different genres and challenge my established patterns (i.e getting rid of bad habits!)
Just a few months later, my alternate picking is tighter, my timing has improved and my passion for practice has been reignited with a brand new intensity as I become a more diverse, well-rounded player.
It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey, If you’re serious about playing better (for real this time!) then GPR is the smartest move you’ll make.
Even if you think you’ve got it all figured out…Especially then!
Trust me. Levi’s routines will give you the right push to propel your playing to peaks you didn’t know existed.
GPR SUPERCOURSE:

Unlock your fretboard and gain complete musical freedom. This isn’t just another triad course; it’s a complete system that takes you from your first triad shapes to advanced harmonic control across the fretboard. You’ll learn to see and use triads everywhere, master closed voicings and diatonic harmony, and expand them into suspended, 6th, diminished, augmented, and 7th chord sounds.
