Is This You?

If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking any of these…

“I can play fast — but my solos don’t say anything.

“I reach for the same licks in every solo.”

“I know my scales, but I freeze over the changes.

“I want a voice of my own — not borrowed clichés.

Here’s the truth
The problem was never your scales.

It’s the step nobody teaches: turning what you know into music. That’s this entire course — the 41 concepts behind Martin’s playing, built to become your own voice.

The Method

Two Parts. One System.

Built from Martin Miller’s acclaimed book, expanded into a fully-filmed video course — learn by doing, then understand why.

Learn By Doing

Six complete rock tracks, broken down phrase by phrase — from signature licks to full solos.

  • Melodic Hard-Rock — ’80s arena, modern edge
  • Modern Funk-Rock — Hendrix vamps & diminished color
  • Emotive Blues-Rock Ballad — Mayer & Gilmour phrasing
  • Contemporary Rock — AOR changes & iv-minor moves
  • Blues-Rock — dominant grit & call-and-response phrasing
  • Jazz-Rock — ii–V changes & superimposed color

Every concept isolated, explained and demonstrated — so you can practice it and make it your own.

  • Improvisational tools — meta soloing, motifs, sequencing
  • Articulation & technique — RDAP, off-beat accents
  • Chord-tone soloing — approaches, enclosures, suspensions
  • Scales, shapes & harmony — tetratonics, superimposition

Questions & Answers

Before You Enroll

What level is this course aimed at? +
The course is built for intermediate and advanced players. If you know your basic scales and chords and want to develop real soloing vocabulary, phrasing and the ability to play over changes, you’re in the right place.
Do I need to know theory? +
No. Martin specifically designed the course so you can learn the licks and solos by ear and feel first, then dig into the theory when you’re ready. There’s tremendous mastery to gain from the playing examples alone — the theory is there to deepen it, not gatekeep it.
What style of music does it focus on? +
Modern rock soloing across six styles: melodic hard-rock, modern funk-rock, emotive blues-rock ballad, contemporary rock, blues-rock, and jazz-rock. The concepts transfer everywhere — but the context is rock lead guitar and improvisation.
How is the course delivered? +
Through a dedicated online streaming platform. You get 127 video segments, every lick and solo demonstrated slow and fast, plus downloadable transcriptions, backing tracks and audio. Watch on any device.
Can I access it forever? +
Yes. Your enrollment includes lifetime access to all course content, downloads, and any future updates — no subscription.
How long does it take to complete? +
There’s 10+ hours of video, but this is designed as a resource for years, not weeks. Martin recommends working through it once focused, then returning to mine each idea for everything it’s worth.
What if it’s not for me? +
You’re covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Enroll, watch the lessons, try the material — and if it’s not the right fit, email us within 30 days for a full refund, no hard feelings.
