Here's What Makes CGA So Effective
I wasn't a natural guitarist. In fact, I almost went to the University of Pennsylvania to study biomedical engineering after high school.
One question changed my direction.
When I'm 80, which path would I regret taking?
For me, that answer was simple.
I wanted to master jazz guitar.
I knew I wasn't at the level I could be, so I had to figure out a systematic approach that actually worked — one built on how I learned mathematics and language, backed up by science, and applied to jazz guitar.
Patterns. Structure. Logical progression.
I spent 15+ years developing methods that transformed my own playing. The same systematic approach that took me from struggling guitarist to professional is now inside CGA.
If I could learn jazz this way, anyone can.
Now, all of that expertise is available to you — structured into daily practice you can follow from anywhere with personalized help every step of the way.
How CGA Works
1) Start Every Practice Session with Clarity
Know exactly what to work on today. Our 28-Day and 90-Day Systems give you daily assignments so you never wonder "What should I practice?" again.
And our Levels & Skills Pathway with a Personalized Assessment make sure you know exactly what path you're on and what to do to make progress.
No more scattered YouTube rabbit holes. No more wasted practice time. No more information overload or overwhelm.
2) Build Real Jazz Vocabulary That Sticks
Learn lines, comping patterns, and solo concepts from the masters — then apply them immediately over jazz blues, standards, and real tunes.
You'll be playing music, not exercises, from Day 1.
3) Learn from World-Class Jazz Artists
Exclusive masterclasses with Tim Fitzgerald, Dan Wilson, Barry Greene, Rodney Jones, Corey Christiansen, John Storie, Sheryl Bailey, Stephane Wrembel, Chico Pinheiro, Will Brahm, and more.
These aren't edited clips — they're live deep dives into how the pros actually play.
4) Get Personal Answers Within Minutes
Post your playing, ask a question, get personal feedback, and even get opportunities to jam with me live. I'm in the community every day answering questions, and so are fellow members who've been where you are.
You're not learning alone, and you're not waiting a week for your next lesson.
5) See Your Progress Month by Month
After completing a 90-Day System you'll have real skills you can hear. By March, you'll comp and solo confidently over 4 jazz blues tunes. By December, you'll own standards like Stella by Starlight and All the Things You Are.
