Course Spotlight
The Triad Mastery Supercourse
Triads are the building blocks of rhythm, harmony, and fretboard fluency. Mastering them is the clearest path to confidence and control on the guitar.
- Four Progressive Levels: Start with essential major & minor barre chord triads, move into closed voicings, then explore diminished, augmented, and more.
- Guided Practice Sessions: Learn the concept, then play along with me in real time so it actually sticks.
- 5 Musical Etudes: Apply what you learn in real musical contexts, complete with custom backing tracks.
- Full Fretboard Integration: Use our ACE system to unlock triads across the neck, in multiple keys and positions.
- Learn the Right Things, in the Right Order: No fluff, no overload, just a clear path to triad fluency that works.
If you want a practical, no-nonsense way to finally master triads, this is the place to start.

The Ear Training Supercourse
Ear training builds confidence in your playing. If you can hear it, you can play it. Our ear training course helps you do exactly that, without any unnecessary theory.
- Step-by-Step Progression: Start with single-note recognition, build toward root movement, octave awareness, and full bassline audiation.
- Hands-On Guitar Focus: No apps, no flashcards. Train your ears by playing, singing, and listening directly with your instrument.
- Real Practice Tools: Practice with custom audio tracks, transcription demos, and real-time exercises that sharpen your instincts.
- Melodic & Harmonic Hearing: Learn to track melodies, hear intervals, and lock in with chord progressions by ear.
- From Sounds to Songs: Everything you work on builds toward real-world listening: figuring out songs, soloing with purpose, and understanding what you hear.
If you’ve ever felt like your ears are holding you back, this is the solution.
Access to this course is included with your membership, with new modules added every month.
Bending & Vibrato Mastery
Bending and vibrato are the heart of expression on the guitar. Mastering them gives your
playing the control, tone, and personality that make every note sing.
- Step-by-Step Development: Start with the fundamentals of vibrato, move into accurate bending and pre-bending, then combine them for expressive phrasing.
- 5 Full Practice Routines: Each routine targets a key skill: vibrato, bending, bends with vibrato, compound bends, and the signature Lukather bend.
- Stylistic Application: Learn how great players use these techniques in real phrases, from blues and rock to fusion and beyond.
- Technical Focus, Musical Results: Build finger strength, pitch awareness, and control so you can bend and shape notes confidently anywhere on the neck.
- Guided Play-Alongs: Train in real time with structured routines that reinforce accuracy and musicality with every repetition.
If you want to develop a more expressive touch and total command of your sound, this is the
course to take.

7th Chord Mastery
The 7th Chord Mastery course is your introduction to understanding and playing 7th chords with
confidence, fluidity, and musical awareness.
- Shell Voicings in Action: Learn the essential 1–3–7 and 1–7–3 shapes rooted on both the E and A strings. Level 1 focuses on these core voicings to give you a clear and usable starting point.
- Real Musical Application: Apply what you learn to five classic Duke Ellington tunes, exploring how functional harmony works in real music.
- Guided Practice Sessions: Play along in real time as we comp through each standard, developing smooth transitions, voice leading, and time feel.
- Ear & Hand Development: Strengthen your fretboard knowledge while training your ear to recognize progressions like ii–V–I and I–vi–ii–V.
- Learn the Right Things, in the Right Order: No clutter, no filler—just a clear path to mastering 7th chords through real musical context.
If you’re ready to move beyond triads and start hearing harmony like a pro, this is where it
begins.

Major Scale Mastery
The major scale is the foundation of all harmony in Western music. Every sound we play is
compared to it, and every other scale is a variation of it. Mastering it is how we truly learn to see,
hear, and understand the fretboard.
- Step-by-Step System: Learn the five CAGED positions, then expand into 3nps patterns and advanced intervallic exercises.
- Real Musical Application: Move beyond finger drills with melodic licks, rhythmic sequences, and phrasing studies that make the scale sound musical.
- Full Key Integration: Apply every shape through the circle of fifths to connect patterns and strengthen your root awareness.
- Chord–Scale Connection: Link arpeggios and scales to reveal how chords are embedded inside every key center.
- Designed for Real Players: No dogma, no shortcuts. Just a practical approach that builds fluency, musicality, and confidence across the neck.
If you want to finally make sense of scales and the building blocks of melody and harmony, this is where it all starts.

Minor Pentatonic Workout
The minor pentatonic scale is the foundation of modern guitar playing. It appears in blues, rock,
funk, jazz, and every style in between. This course gives you the tools to master it completely,
both in sound and in understanding.
- Five Progressive Routines: Build fluency from the ground up, starting with the core E shape pattern before expanding into all five positions across the neck.
- Interval Based Learning: Go beyond shapes to understand the flavor of each note, learning to think in intervals rather than boxes.
- Sequencing and Subdivision: Train your time, touch, and technique by sequencing patterns and practicing rhythmic subdivisions that lock you to the groove.
- Fretboard Connection: Link patterns together through musical exercises that strengthen visualization and positional awareness.
- Applied Fluency: Combine everything you have learned, including intervals, sequencing, and timing, by practicing smooth transitions through multiple keys in a continuous flow.
If you want a structured, musical, and pain-free path to mastering the most important scale
in guitar history, this is where it all starts.

Reading Music for Guitarists
Reading is the key that unlocks everything you hear, play, and write. It builds stronger rhythm,
better time feel, and a deeper connection between your hands and your ears.
- Step-by-Step Framework: Start with quarter notes and common time, then progress through eighths, syncopation, rests, ties, and dotted values.
- Guided Practice Routines: Learn each concept, then play along in real time to develop natural flow and confident sight-reading.
- Technique Integration: Strengthen your picking hand and rhythmic control as you connect physical motion to what you see on the page.
- Real-World Application: Build the reading skills you actually need as a modern guitarist, with no sight-reading marathons or theory drills—just practical understanding.
- Clear, Logical Progression: Every lesson builds on the last, creating a complete foundation for reading fluently and playing in time.
If you’ve ever wanted to truly understand rhythm and make written music feel second nature,
this is where it starts.

More About
Levi Clay
Levi Clay was born in 1988 in Ipswich, UK. Although he came from a musical family, he focused on his academic studies until picking up the guitar at age 14. What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion, and he devoted hours each day to studying books and magazines to hone his craft.
By the age of 16, Levi was already teaching others, having been approached by his high school teachers to work with their own children. Always a top-of-the-class student with a strong work ethic, this opportunity ignited a deep love for teaching and drove him to study even harder.
After taking his first formal classical guitar lessons in college, Levi moved to London in 2008 to pursue a degree in Popular Music Performance. During this time, he formed the band Hellcat Molly, performing across southern England while balancing his studies and working with mentors. By the time he graduated, Levi was transcribing music full-time and continued teaching, including leading courses at the Guitar Institute.
Levi went on to work with LickLibrary, releasing several instructional DVDs, and wrote the long-running Beyond Blues column for Premier Guitar magazine for five years. He later became an internationally best-selling author of his own instructional books—all while continuing to teach and transcribe for some of the biggest names in the music industry.
Now based in Scotland, Levi remains active as a performer, educator, and journalist, working as both a guitarist and pianist. His popular YouTube channel has attracted millions of views worldwide. With expertise spanning blues, rock, country, jazz, metal, soul, and more, Levi is a go-to resource for music education across styles.

His knowledge of the academic side of jazz has never left me needing more, as aside from his obvious understanding of the theoretical side of things, there’s a clear appreciation for the cultural side of jazz.

“I started GPR after 20 years of teaching. In that time I’ve met 100s of students who lacked focus from unstructured online lessons and kept asking “how should I practice?”. Here at GPR I just won’t TELL you what to practice, we’ll do it… TOGETHER”
– Levi Clay
FAQ
Common questions
Guided Practice Routines (GPRs) are the missing link between success and failure in the age of digital guitar education.
By combining education and implementation in one package, they guarantee faster skill development than any other method.
A typical GPR consists of two parts: a lesson or instructional component and a play-along workout routine that solidifies the lesson content. This structure allows you to learn, practice, and apply everything within a single session.
With an emphasis on clear, direct instruction combined with effective practice strategies, Guided Practice Routines provide the exact kind of insight and accountability that was previously only possible through one-to-one lessons.
With over 100 hours of video content, we offer 10 courses and 150 legacy lessons, with new content added every week.
You’ll also get access to Levi’s extensive YouTube transcription library, featuring Guitar Pro and PDF files.
New content is added weekly, including individual workout routines, courses and course modules, transcriptions, and live events.
We offer a seven-day refund policy so you can sign up with confidence. If you’re not completely satisfied with your membership, simply contact us within seven days of your purchase and we’ll issue a full refund—no questions asked.
