From guitar player to producer: The gap that's keeping your music unfinished.

You’ve got the riffs, the ideas — maybe you’ve even watched a show and thought, “my music could fit there”. But when it comes to turning those ideas into fully produced, Sync and Release-ready songs, something gets lost in translation.

The problem isn't your musical ability. It's that being a great guitarist and being a great finisher are completely different skills.

The Guitar Player's Production Problem

Killer guitar skills and musical instincts
Tons of riffs, ideas, and half-finished songs
Passion for creating (maybe you even play guitar for a living)
Some production experience — but you’ve plateaued in your mixing and arranging

You have this:

How to arrange beyond just guitar parts
Recording techniques that actually sound professional
Mix skills that make your tracks competitive
Confidence to call something "finished"
A clear understanding of how to break into the Sync world.

But you're missing this:

What My Students Achieve

Endless riffs and loops collecting dust on your hard drive.
Demos that never quite feel “good enough” to finish.
Second-guessing every idea
Unsure how to get to the finish line.
Overthinking every mix decision.
Feeling lost when it comes to releasing music or pitching for sync — so the tracks stay hidden.

Before:

A clear, repeatable process for taking any idea from spark to Sync and Release-ready songs.
Finally releasing music they’re proud to share with the world.
Landing deals with publishers and libraries.
Actual sync placements.
Complete, polished, Sync and Release-ready songs you can proudly release or pitch AND the skills and confidence to do it again and again.

After:

How It Works:

The Three Pillars of the Program

From concept to composition, we’ll dive deep into song structure. Whether your goal is to release or pitch for sync opportunities, structuring from the ground up is the key to finishing music with clarity and confidence.

1. Song Structure and Foundation

This is where your ideas come to life through production and mixing. We’ll shape your sonic palette, choose the right sounds, and apply production techniques that give your music width, depth and polish, making it competitive and professional.

2. Sonic Craft

Your music will be finished to a professional standard. Depending on your goals it will be ready to be released, pitched for sync opportunities, or both. You’ll also gain clarity on how to navigate the world of music licensing and build a catalog strategically.

3. Sync and Release Ready

Experienced and advanced (not beginners)
Serious about finishing, releasing and pitching music
Ready to invest time and effort consistently

This program is for guitar players who are:

Complete music production beginners
Looking for quick fixes or magic bullets
Not ready to commit to regular practice and assignments

This program is NOT for guitar players who are:

This sounds JUST like me!
