The Lesson Programs

Dave Cleveland has been a professional guitar player for over 35 years, recording and touring with numerous artists in Country, Christian, Rock and Pop music. In that time he has recorded over 30,000 songs. In these lesson programs, Dave will teach you the things that he’s learned over his 35 years of professional guitar playing.

If you’re just starting out, we’ve got a program called Play Guitar TODAY, a Quick-Start program where Dave will teach you you the basic chords and scales so that you can start playing guitar or writing songs TODAY.

Then when you’re ready to take your playing to the next level, we have our Essential Guitar program. In this program, Dave will teach you all of the things every Pro guitar player needs to know. These are the things that he uses every day that have made him successful. And now he wants to pass all of that experience on to you so that you can take your playing to the next level. Each weekly lesson in the The Essential Guitar 1 Lesson Program contains a warm-up, triads, reading, ear-training, and a Lick & Jam section where you can put everything together and have some serious fun jamming out!

The lesson programs are not intended to REPLACE your private guitar lessons, but rather as a supplement; they will develop both the physical and mental muscles you will need to be a GREAT guitar player.
