You’ve got the riffs, the ideas, and half-finished songs sitting on your hard drive. You’ve probably watched a show and thought, “my music could fit there”. But when it comes to that last 10%, you hit a wall.
My mentorship helps guitarists build the skills and workflow to actually finish, release AND pitch music they’re proud of and that’s ready for the world.
Your guitar got you started. I’ll help you finish.
Hit a wall when trying to turn riffs into full songs.
Want to level up at arranging, mixing and producing.
Care about sync licensing and want their music placed in film and TV.
Want to release music they’re proud of but they “don’t feel ready yet”.
Are serious about finishing — not dabbling or “just seeing what happens”.
This mentorship is built for guitarists who:
By the end, you’ll have:
A repeatable process for turning any riff or demo into a Sync and Release-ready track
Confidence in production, mixing, and arrangement skills
Tracks that sound professional and release-ready
Songs that are prepared for sync opportunities
A clear sense of when a song is actually done
