The Problem

Why "Guitar Education" Fails You

You know scales. You know chords. You’ve watched a thousand YouTube videos on "The Secret to Jazz."

But when you pick up the guitar to improvise, you still feel stuck.

You run up and down scales hoping to land on a good note. You rely on "muscle memory licks" instead of playing what you hear. You understand the theory, but you can't make music.

This isn't your fault. It's because the traditional method—"Learn scales first, make music later"—is broken.

The Breakthrough

From Berklee to The System

I spent years at Berklee College of Music, surrounded by the best players in the world. I competed in Guitar Idol in London.

But I didn't just want to teach theory; I wanted to apply it. I used the very system I teach to compose and record my albums, The Vortex (2024) and Dive (2020).

These albums were my proving ground. They confirmed that when you stop thinking in scales and start thinking in Architectural Shapes, you unlock true creative freedom.

I spent the last decade stripping away the fluff to build this exact system for you.

This framework became the foundation of The Weiss Method, taught through the Galactic Modern Guitar system.

How The Method Works

We don't do "Licks." We build "Language."

1. Visualization

Stop getting lost. We map the fretboard using Triads and Shell Voicings so you can see the "Safe Notes" over any chord change, instantly.

2. Phrasing

Notes are just letters. Phrasing is the sentence. We use rhythmic constraints and "Call & Response" to turn your scales into actual music.

3. Freedom

The goal is to stop thinking. Once the map is internalized, you enter the Flow State where your hands simply play what your ear hears.

Why I Teach This Way

"Music isn't a competition; it's a conversation. I teach because I hate seeing potential wasted on bad information. My goal isn't just to make you a better guitarist—it's to help you finally speak your own language."
