Build the Three Pillars Every Metal Guitarist Needs:
• Precision Picking Technique
• Powerful Riffing
• Musical Phrasing
Most Guitarists skip these fundamentals and wonder why they're stuck. I'm giving you three free lessons that build the foundation the best players have – no shortcuts, just real mastery.
Lesson One
Finally understand the RIGHT way to hold your pick, place your picking hand, and eliminate string noise - no more guessing, no more bad habits, no more frustration.
This isn't the lesson video...it's Brett doing some serious shredding to show you what clean, controlled picking technique looks like! The actual 36-minute lesson is in your FREE Bundle.
Excess string noise when you play
Pick moves around in your fingers
Fingertip gets in the way of your pick tip
Palm muting doesn't sound right
Reaching for strings and missing
Hand bounces up and down
Picking a different string than you meant to
Can't move picking hand fast enough
Pick starts being at an awkward angle for clean playing
You'll learn how to fix all of those problems.
Every day you practice with incorrect picking technique, you're reinforcing habits that will hold you back. Get Metal Guitar Academy's 3 Pillars Of Metal Guitar and start picking like a pro.

"Your free solve your picking problems video is genius! I’m finding improvement in my picking hand after a few days. Yes, I said days!"
Lesson Two
Stop sounding "random" when you improvise. Learn how to breathe real life and musicality into your licks.
No more mindless scale runs. No more boring, predictable licks. When you know how to phrase musically, jamming becomes actually expressive instead of just technical exercises.
Your solos sound like you're just running scales
Everything feels rushed and frantic
You can't make simple licks sound interesting
You don't know when to play and when to leave space
Your improvisation sounds robotic and lifeless
You can play fast but it doesn't sound musical
You struggle to make emotional connections with your playing
This 42-minute lesson shows you how to transform boring technical exercises into musical statements.
When you understand phrasing, even simple licks become powerful and expressive. Get The 3 Pillars Of Metal Guitar and start thinking creatively when you jam.

Lesson Three
Power chords aren't just "beginner stuff." And, there’s more than one way to play ‘em.
Most guitarists think power chords are basic. But when you understand what’s really behind them, your riffing creativity expands exponentially.
You only use one power chord “shape”
Your riffs sound too “old school” all the time
You don't understand how power chords connect to scales
You can't connect power chord progressions in interesting ways
You're stuck in the same old patterns
This lesson reveals the knowledge that transforms basic power chords into sophisticated riffing.
You'll discover how applying some practical music theory puts you in control of the power chord, and makes your riffs sound heavier and more interesting.
"Once I started taking lessons with Brett, my playing improved DRAMATICALLY. Night and day."
"For anyone 'stuck' and looking to Youtube or old dusty books for help - you're wasting time. Reach out to Brett!"
