THIS IS WHERE SERIOUS GUITARISTS STEP UP
WHEN THEY’RE DONE SETTLING FOR ALMOST.
THIS IS WHERE SERIOUS GUITARISTS STEP UP WHEN THEY’RE DONE SETTLING FOR ALMOST.
ShredFest Premium is a private, application-only mentorship for serious guitarists who are ready to operate at a professional level with total control, real confidence, and zero guesswork.
This is where your preparation becomes undeniable, your confidence becomes automatic, and your playing finally reflects the level you’ve known you were capable of all along.
YOU ALREADY KNOW YOU’RE CAPABLE OF MORE.
You’ve put in the years. Maybe over a decade. You can play difficult material, but when it’s time to perform, something holds you back. Your hands move, but you don’t feel fully in command.
You know the talent is there. The ear is there. The fire never left. But progress has slowed, and effort alone isn’t moving the needle anymore.
You’ve studied, practiced, invested in courses, and gathered information — yet the professional-level player you hear in your head still feels just out of reach.
And at this point, it’s not really about learning more. It’s about closing the gap between what you know you’re capable of and what actually shows up when it matters.
THIS IS WHERE THE GAP CLOSES.
And it's yours for only $10,000/year. Let's Go!
HERE'S WHERE CONSISTENCY SEPARATES PLAYERS WHO BREAK THROUGH FROM THOSE WHO STAY STUCK.
After years of coaching serious guitarists, players who were already skilled, already committed, and already doing the work, one pattern became impossible to ignore. Real breakthroughs don’t come from more information. They come from precision. From knowing exactly what to focus on, what to eliminate, and how to apply the right pressure at the right time.
This same shift is what allowed me to break through my own ceiling. The moment I stopped guessing, stopped chasing everything, and started operating with clarity, my playing finally changed permanently.
YOUR FOUNDATION DETERMINES EVERYTHING THAT COMES NEXT.
At the professional level, nothing is left to chance. Your mechanics, timing, ear, tone, and creative decisions either support each other or they quietly limit you. ShredFest Premium is built to correct the foundation beneath your playing so everything you already know finally works together, under pressure, when it counts.
THIS MENTORSHIP IS BUILT AROUND:
⚡ THE 12-MONTH DEVELOPMENT ARC
How Elite Players Are Actually Built
This is not a course. It’s a long-term development arc designed to reshape how you prepare, practice, and perform. Over 12 months, you’re guided through a deliberate progression that sharpens your technique, deepens your fretboard and ear control, and aligns your creativity with real-world performance demands. Nothing is rushed. Nothing is random. This is where everything you’ve worked on finally locks in.
🎯 LIVE STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE SESSIONS
Direction. Calibration. Execution.
These are not casual check-ins. These are high-level working sessions where your playing is evaluated, calibrated, and refined in real time. You’ll receive direct feedback, clear direction, and specific adjustments designed to eliminate plateaus and sharpen execution. Every session is intentional. Every decision is made with your long-term development in mind.
🔥 ONGOING ACCESS & ACCOUNTABILITY
No Guessing. No Drift.
Progress doesn’t happen in isolation. Inside ShredFest Premium, you have ongoing access between sessions to submit clips, ask targeted questions, and course-correct before bad habits take hold. This isn’t constant hand-holding, it’s controlled accountability that keeps you moving forward without losing momentum or focus.
🤘 PRIVATE COMMUNITY PORTAL

WHY THIS MENTORSHIP EXISTS IN THE FIRST PLACE...
Guitar has been the constant in my life for as long as I can remember. I studied at Berklee, toured internationally, competed, recorded, and built a career around the instrument, but the most important part of that journey wasn’t the accolades. It was hitting my own ceiling and realizing that effort alone wasn’t enough anymore.
Everything changed when I stopped chasing more information and started building precision, structure, and control into how I played and prepared. That shift didn’t just improve my playing, it changed how I approached the instrument entirely.
ShredFest Premium exists for players who are at that same crossroads. You’ve done the work. You’ve invested the time. Now you’re ready for direction, standards, and a level of guidance that matches how seriously you take this. This isn’t about learning tricks. It’s about becoming the guitarist you’ve known you were capable of for years.
100% RESULTS DRIVEN. NO BULLSH*T.

HERE’S WHAT CHANGES WHEN EVERYTHING FINALLY CLICKS...
I Play With Total Freedom: My hands and ears are locked in, so ideas flow naturally without forcing, guessing, or hesitation.
I Perform With Confidence: I step into any performance knowing I’m prepared, in control, and capable of delivering under pressure.
My Tone Speaks For Me: I stopped chasing sounds and started shaping tone intentionally, with clarity and professional-level control.
My Creativity Became Reliable: With structure and mechanics in place, my ideas come out clearly and consistently, sounding like me, not exercises.
AND THIS IS THE STANDARD YOU’RE STEPPING INTO.
OK, AJ. I'VE GOT SOME QUESTIONS
HOW DO I KNOW THIS ISN’T JUST ANOTHER COURSE THAT I’LL FALL OFF FROM?
Because ShredFest Premium isn’t built around passive consumption. There’s no endless content library to disappear into and no pressure to “keep up.” You’re guided, calibrated, and held to a standard in real time. If something isn’t working, it gets corrected immediately. Momentum doesn’t depend on motivation, it’s built into the environment.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT FROM EVERYTHING I’VE ALREADY TRIED?
Most programs give you information and hope you apply it correctly. ShredFest Premium removes that gap. You’re not guessing what to practice, how to practice, or whether you’re doing it right. Decisions are made with you, not left up to chance. That’s the difference between progress that feels temporary and progress that actually sticks.
WILL THIS ACTUALLY WORK FOR ME OR AM I TOO OLD / TOO FAR GONE / TOO STUCK?
If you can still practice, listen critically, and commit to preparation, you’re not “too far gone.” Most players who feel stuck aren’t broken, they’re misdirected. This mentorship is built for experienced players who need refinement, structure, and precision, not a reset back to square one.
WHAT KIND OF TIME COMMITMENT WILL THIS TAKE? I HAVE A JOB, FAMILY, RESPONSIBILITIES…
This isn’t about grinding more hours, it’s about using your time correctly. The goal is efficiency, not overload. You’ll know exactly what matters, what doesn’t, and where to focus so the time you do have actually produces results. Many members find they practice less, but progress more.
WHAT KIND OF RESULTS CAN I REALISTICALLY EXPECT IN 12 MONTHS?
While results depend on your consistency and follow-through, the objective is clear: stronger control, better preparation, confident execution, and a clear artistic identity. By the end of 12 months, your playing should feel reliable, not hit-or-miss, and capable of holding up under real pressure.
DO YOU OFFER REFUNDS?
Because this is a high-level mentorship with limited availability and direct personal involvement, refunds are not offered. That’s also why there’s an application process. The goal is alignment on both sides before anything begins, so everyone who enters is fully committed to the work.
If you’re unsure whether ShredFest Premium is the right fit, the application is the best next step. It allows us to determine alignment before moving forward.
