What guitarists say about Guided Practice Routines

From guitarists working through Levi's guided routines every week.

New fretboard confidence

I have been using Levi's practice routines for some time now. It has given me a new way to look at the fretboard, giving me more confidence when improvising.

Dave HausnerDave HausnerOregon, USA · GPR member

Complex concepts made simple

He breaks down complex concepts in rhythm, melody and harmony into simple, clear lessons, making it easy to see how musicians find their sound.

Stephen LaffertyStephen LaffertyBelgium · GPR member

Incredible value and insight

Leave no stone unturned is a fitting expression to describe Levi's teaching. His own playing is both motivating and inspirational, and it's a real bargain for the price.

Chris MullinChris MullinVermont, USA · GPR member

Connecting theory to play

As a guitarist of over 30 years, I've always struggled to connect theory and technique. Since starting Levi's guided practice routines, I'm now making real progress translating my musical ideas to the fretboard.

Kevin BlandingKevin BlandingConnecticut, USA · GPR member

Reignited my passion

GPR didn't just fine-tune my technique, it flipped my entire approach, helping me unlearn bad habits and explore new genres. In months, my picking and timing improved, and my passion for practice came back.

Jimmy Kane AlfordJimmy Kane AlfordEngland · GPR member

Efficient, immersive practice

Levi's guided practice routines are an efficient and immersive way to practice. The short, focused sessions with Guitar Pro files and backing tracks make it easy to improve your timing and phrasing.

Common questions

Before you start

Do I need to know jazz?
No. Levi starts with what a 7th chord is and builds every tune from there. It helps to know some basic chords, and Triad Mastery is a good first step if you have it.
Which course should I start with?
7th Chord Mastery. It teaches how the chords are built and how they move, and the Arpeggio Workout takes those same chords and turns them into lines.
Is it only for jazz?
No. The standards are jazz, but the chords and arpeggios show up in soul, gospel, blues and R&B. The dominant 7 routines are built around the blues.
What if the arpeggio routines are too fast?
The major 7 routines come at 100 and 130 bpm, and Levi suggests starting at 100. You also get the tab files to slow anything down.
What are the access and refund terms?
Buy the bundle once and both courses are yours for life, with tab and backing tracks to download. You're covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee: email us within 14 days and you get a full refund.
