If you wanna confidently strum and jam along to your 10 favorite Allman Brothers songs (in less than just 10 minutes per day)...

Then this brand new Guitar Fundamentals course will show you how.

You see, this Allman Brothers Fundamentals course was created because of a very, very important reason...

After teaching hundreds of guitar students in-person, I noticed that they all had something in common when they first started lessons with me…

Something that I really didn’t want to be true:

Most of them could NOT play a single song from start to finish.

Maybe they knew dozens of different riffs, fancy chords, or advanced scales…

But they just couldn’t play a 3-minute song all the way through.

Now look, I love jamming and improvising as much as the next Allmans fan…

But just like authors write books and filmmakers make films...

Musicians play SONGS.

If you wanna jam with other musicians, you gotta know songs.

If you wanna perform live for an audience, you gotta know songs.

There’s an immense value in learning songs and I’m going to show you exactly how I approach this important task.

The great thing about the guitar is that once you understand a few basic techniques, you’re already on your way to playing literally thousands of songs.

And I can guarantee that if you follow this new course consistently, you’ll be amongst the very few who can play 10 full songs from start to finish.

And that’s something to be proud of.

If you’re ready to finally start playing songs from beginning to end, then you can get instant access below...

Does your practice routine look like this?

  • You pick up your guitar and pop on a 10-minute Youtube video lesson…

  • Then shift to learning one of your favorite songs from tabs…

  • Then switch to figure out a song by ear, get overwhelmed, give up…

  • Then noodle around for 20 minutes...
 
All while hours can go by without really accomplishing anything?

I do think there’s a big value in using the guitar as your expression and just noodling around…

However, the “practice routine” above is not going to help you jam with other musicians, write better solos, record music, or otherwise.

Instead, it’s better to start with small, achievable goals for just 5-10 minutes per day.

And that’s why I decided to create The Allman Brothers Band Guitar Fundamentals.

The goal is to get you to play 10 new songs in just 5-10 minutes per day

  • It doesn’t matter if you’ve never played a complete song before…

  • Doesn’t matter if you don’t know scales or strumming patterns…

  • And it doesn't matter what kind of guitar you have.

This video course will slowly walk you through 10 popular Allman Brothers songs, covering the chords, strumming patterns, scales, and riffs involved. In some lessons, we’ll also use a capo to make things easier by avoiding tough bar chords. If you’ve never used one before, I’ll show you exactly how it works and why it’s such a helpful tool for beginners.

I designed this course for “beginner” guitar players… but really it’s for anyone who wants to add 10 new songs to their repertoire.

This caters to different skill levels because each song covers 3 different levels - each with slightly more complexity.

See what students from Grateful Dead » Guitar Fundamentals are saying:

(same course structure as Allman Brothers » Guitar Fundamentals) 

 

“I used to struggle to make solos sound like anything, now I can play through ‘Sugaree’ with the vocal melody, and it sounds great.”

Doug T

“You’re going to come to a point where you choose a faster path or a slower path. The Grateful Dead Guitar Fundamentals is the faster path, period.”

Before I share more, let me introduce myself:

My name is Jeff Williams. 

I’m a musician and guitar teacher with a BA in Music from Westfield State University, with a concentration in Jazz Studies on guitar. 

Over the years, I’ve played hundreds of shows, with dozens of bands, in a handful of different genres.

Nowadays, my real passion is teaching guitar and creating YouTube videos.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve taught hundreds of students online and in-person. 

Through my experience, I've  learned how to provide students with the guidance, structure, and support they need to maximize their growth and achieve their guitar goals as quickly as possible.

I’m so proud to have helped guitarists overcome their limiting beliefs, be more expressive, and have more fun.

And I’m very grateful to consistently receive positive testimonials, reviews, and video comments from all of my students. 

But it wasn’t always this way…

I used to struggle with chords, solos, jamming with others, learning new songs, and so much more.

Sometimes I felt as if I’d never improve.

I would play the guitar for hours and hours on end…

Play boring and repetitive scales until late into the evening.

And wouldn’t stop until blisters made it too painful to play.

… All without ever feeling like I was making any sort of real progress.

I’m embarrassed to say I’ve even had music teachers pull me aside and give me harsh criticism on my playing… which at the time completely crushed me.

But music was my passion and I was determined to get better

So I studied my favorite guitarists who had already achieved what I wanted to too.

I looked up to guys like Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, David Gilmour, Trey Anastasio, Duane Allman, and others.

And it wasn't until I learned a few dozen songs from beginning to end, that I realized just how valuable this was.

This taught me the discipline to finish a task, the understanding of song structure, the ability to easily jam with others, and so much more.

And after seeing so many beginner students skip this step of learning complete songs, I knew I needed to create a course around it...

And so, the “Allman Brothers Band Guitar Fundamentals” course was born!

I decided to create a series of courses exploring the most fundamental parts of playing guitar - learning songs.

This course goes over the nuts and bolts of popular Allman Brothers songs including the chords, strumming patterns, riffs, and scales.

Learning complete songs is a valuable for you whether you want to write original music, play covers, or just jam and improvise.

What songs are included and why?


I decided to choose these 10 classic Allman Brothers songs to include in this course...

  1. Blue Sky
  2. Dreams
  3. Melissa
  4. One Way Out
  5. Midnight Rider 
  6. Ramblin' Man
  7. Ain't Wastin' Time No More
  8. Stormy Monday
  9. Trouble No More
  10. Soulshine

I chose these because they’re some of the most well-known and popular Allman Brothers songs (a few of which are blues covers)…

They're played a lot by many musicians too, meaning you can always find people to jam with...

And they represent different guitar difficulty levels as well.

Each song above includes 3 video lessons, going from simple to more complex.

Here's a little sneak peek into the course...

1. The first video of Blue Sky breaks down the song structure and gives you a simplified version of the chords and rhythm so you can start playing right away. This version uses a capo to make things easier and avoid difficult bar chords, so you can focus on getting the feel of the tune.

 

2. The second video builds on that by dialing in the strumming, introducing the main scale, and showing you how to start improvising over the progression.

 

3. The third video takes things further with additional chord movement, including a key slash chord, and expands your improvising by adding just one note that brings out more of that Allman Brothers sound.

 

This isn’t about learning every note exactly as played, but giving you the core ideas so you can start playing and making music as quickly as possible.

 

Each of the 10 songs includes 3 lesson videos that gradually increase in difficulty.

As an added bonus you'll get...


✅ Bonus #1: Four introductory Primer Videos

While the bulk of the course is to teach you the chords, riffs, and themes from 10 popular Allman Brothers songs...

It also includes a very important section I’ve called “Primers”.

These 4 videos cover topics like

  • Should you choose acoustic over electric? (Primer 1)

  • The #1 most important concept when it comes to learning the guitar as a beginner (Primer 1)

  • How to read song charts, tabs, chord diagrams, time signatures, scale charts, and more! (Primer 2)

  • What to do if chords are too difficult to play (Primer 3)

  • How to use your “P” Finger and “G” Finger to easily navigate between two chords (Primer 4)

These videos were inspired from the exact questions I’ve gotten over the years.

✅ Bonus #2: High-Quality Backing Tracks

Not everyone knows this, but over the years, I've created more than 250 backing tracks...

I've learned a thing or two, and have found that the best quality backing tracks...

  • Feature professional musicians recorded in a high-quality studio

  • Include MP3 + jam-along videos that show which chords are being played and what scale to play over it

  • And the ability to download and keep them to play along to forever.

There are no poor quality, AI-generated tracks ever.


✅ Bonus #3: A Master PDF Reference Guide


For all the visual learners, you can print out this Master PDF sheet to reference the scales, chords, tabs for riffs, and song structures for all 10 songs. 

How to play like Jerry Garcia, Language of Guitar

Once you go through this video course, you’ll be able to…


✅ Play 10 new Allman Brothers songs with ease


✅ Learn how songs are structured, so you can start to write your own

✅ Have a new "setlist" of songs to jam with other musicians, perform live, or to practice on your own

 

✅ Learn the foundational chords, so you can open the doors to playing 1000's of popular songs

✅ Improve timing, tempo, strumming, and improvisation with 10 high-quality backing tracks

✅ Understand why the biggest beginner issues shouldn't actually be holding you back (FAQ's in "Primer" Videos)

But they haven’t only helped me

My guitar courses have helped dozens of my students overcome obstacles:

Luke

“Breaking out each device and covering it separately with examples really helped me understand the structure behind Jerry's style and helped me connect it musically. It’s an Incredibly well put together course”.

Karl V

“I really learned a lot about Jerry Garcia's styles and how they speak with different types of songs.  I gained a whole new appreciation of Jerry as a guitar player and artist.

Some of the more esoteric devices featured on the song Dark Star were completely new and surprising to me. A totally different groove.”

Jeremy L

The course is easily digestible yet challenging.  It’s much more organized than anything I’ve learned on YouTube and I really enjoyed the backing tracks."

Brendan J

Your motto, less is more, has enabled me to not play my guitar. When I commune with my instrument, it's therapy at this point.

You in this single video, opened that door I've been trying to for years: how to get the emotions and music in my mind to flow through my hands and out of my body without having to give it much thought.

Here’s what you can expect inside the Allman Brothers Band Guitar Fundamentals video course:

Section 1: Primer Videos

These 4 essential videos walk you through the most common questions and roadblocks beginners face so you can get started with clarity and confidence.

Section 2:  Song Lessons

30 video lessons total (3 per song) covering chords, strumming, riffs, and scales. You’ll build the skills to confidently play 10 iconic Allman Brothers songs from start to finish.

Section 3:  Backing Tracks + PDF Materials
