“ROCK LICKS - SECRETS UNLEASHED”

Learn FROM the licks series - 4 Disc Set



Question: Do you know one of the biggest secrets that
separates an ordinary guitarist from the likes of
Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai,
or your own favorite guitar god?

Answer: It’s the ability to create and play LICKS

Keep reading to see how I’ve demystified the elusive craft of creating
memorable and killer licks you can use to explode your guitar playing,
starting right now...

WATCH THIS VIDEO to see what this is all about:



Have you ever thought or asked these questions?

- How can I create my own licks?

- How do you use scales to build riffs & licks?

- What’s the secret to phrasing licks together to flow smoothly into solos?

- How do you creatively come up with licks and lick ideas?

- How do I know which scale to use when soloing?

- How can I come up with my own licks so I am not always playing the same things over and over again?


I’m happy to report that I have developed an easy, paint-by-numbers system you can use to learn all this.

But first, I need to point out something important...

The problem with learning just licks alone

I’ll be honest with you - there are lots of products on the market today teaching licks.

But as a guitar teacher who’s taught many thousands of students all over the world, I will let you in on a little secret . . . there are two common mistakes people make when learning how to play licks.

Mistake No. 1 is when you are taught guitar licks – and nothing else. In other words, they leave it up to you as to how to make use of the licks themselves: how to practice them, how to apply them, and how to figure out where did the licks come from as far as what scales did they use to build the lick, etc.

This is a bigger mistake than you might think. Sure, you’ll get to learn a lick, and that’s fine as far as it goes. But when you learn to play a lick without also knowing what’s behind the lick, then you’re not moving forward or make any real progress.

Let me put it this way:
Would you rather be handed a fish sandwich so that you can feel full for a few hours?
... or Would you rather learn how to fish so that you can eat for a lifetime?

My teaching philosophy is radically different from many – I teach you to learn FROM the lick so that you learn an infinite number of guitar licks for a lifetime.

Learning from the lick gives you the ability to understand which scale the lick is played from.
This way, you’ll learn how to apply it in any musical situation. And suddenly you’ll learn how to vary the lick and...

Turn one lick into 10 licks!
(or 100 . . . or 1,000 . . .)

Do you see how huge that is? Seeing the scale gives you the musical vision to build your own licks. So you just don’t learn licks….you learn from the licks. Big, big difference.

Mistake No. 2 in learning licks comes from overcomplicating the process. This comes from trying to do too much, too soon, which is why everything I teach is in a logical, natural stair-step progression that prevents you from missing a crucial early step that will come back to haunt you later.

The good news here is that I have just spent months putting together a step-by-step system that makes this easy for you.

“ROCK LICKS - SECRETS UNLEASHED”

FROM: David Taub co-founder of Next Level Guitar

Dear Guitarist,

Let me put this as bluntly and simply as possible...

When you unlock the secrets to creating and playing rock licks, you unlock the secret of playing guitar. Period.

Sure, there are many elements to playing guitar. But think about your favorite guitarist for a second. Doesn’t he or she have a “signature” sound that rests largely on the licks they play and the technique they use to get those sounds?

Of course they do. Think of the soaring licks screaming from Jim Hendrix’s guitar. Or the insane licks that Eddie Van Halen wrings out of his axe. Or any great guitarist you happen to admire – they all know how to create and play licks.

Look, when you play guitar without those memorable, signature licks, what you are is a dude strumming a guitar.

Nothing wrong with that, of course. But, man, throw in a few dynamite licks and – Bam! – now you’re an absolute beast who’s totally on fire, blowing minds and dropping jaws all around you.

Seriously, this is how you make that next big leap. When you know how to play licks seamlessly – and more importantly, how to create your own, even on the fly – THAT’S when you start getting questions from your friends. Questions like:

“Dude, when did you learn to play like THAT?”
“You’ve been playing guitar HOW long?”
“Wow... I had no idea... (speechless)...”

This course covers all the basics with over 6 hours of video lessons on 3 DVDs, 10 killer audio jam track CD, and coinciding 58-page PDF book. Get ready to learn and create licks like never before.

Rock On!



This course is a structured program of DVD video instructional lessons, audio jam tracks, written lessons and diagrams.

ROCK LICKS – SECRETS UNLEASHED is absolutely packed with:

THREE 2-hour DVDs

Audio Jam Tracks CD

A 58-page PDF written lesson book

That’s SIX full hours of video lessons, 10 killer studio quality audio jam tracks and a huge reference book of written lessons and scale diagrams that ties it all together. This is a new, groundbreaking course that will skyrocket your playing to the next level….guaranteed.

Here’s what I have for you, and how you’ll benefit . . .

I’ve put together a way to teach lick techniques that work with any scale. This means you now have an endless array of licks that can be blasted all over your playing – it’s not just about learning one lick.

And I simplified everything by showing you how to practice the licks over jam tracks – which I have included in the package.

How to avoid the dreaded curse of over complication...

Have you ever tried instructional videos that blaze through the material so fast you are constantly on the rewind button?

Man, doesn’t that get frustrating?

That’s fairly standard practice for other products that teach licks, but I was determined to find a better way.

My solution? Simple. I break all the licks and techniques down and demonstrate them for you at two different playback speeds: “learning speed” and “regular speed”. No rewind button needed! (Whew.).

You’ll never get that rushed feeling – only the rush of banging out licks that will surprise you when you see how easily they rang out of your guitar.

Before I tell you exactly what’s in this package (it’s a ton of stuff because I’m a little obsessive compulsive about leaving no stone unturned and taking nothing for granted), let me boil down some of the more essential benefits you’ll get.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this 4-Disc and book course:

Learn how to create an endless stream of your own licks – even if you feel like you don’t have a creative bone in your body.
Learn licks that work with ANY scale. (Great for any playing situation.)
Learn modal licks, right hand tapping. I explain everything even if you’ve never done these before.
Learn TONS of scales, and learn licks in the styles of Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and many others.
Learn to solo and improvise in any key.
Unlock your creative juices when you follow my method of learning.
Learn how to use lick techniques to practice and memorize scales cold.
Learn how to use licks to improve your finger strength and dexterity.
Learn lick techniques that work over any scale, over any mode.
Learn how to know what scale to use in a given key, song, jam, or progression.
Gain lead guitar confidence to solo over any song or progression.

Don’t let anyone get in the way of your guitar dream – and don’t over think
the process because I’ve simplified everything for you

You’ll excuse my excitement about this. You know how when you recommend a favorite new musical artist to your best friend you’re almost jealous because they will soon get to hear them for the first time? Well, THAT’S how I feel in sharing this material with you.

I’m also proud and happy to release this Rock Licks Secrets Unleashed Course because it fulfills my mission to make learning the guitar as simple and fun as humanly possible. This truly gives you the “complete lead guitar picture”.

Simply put, this package is a killer 4-disc set that will help get your lead guitar playing and improvisation to the next level. You are going to love this combination of rock licks video lessons, classic songs filled with killer licks, audio jam tracks, technique builders, written lessons, and much more.

Believe me, there is just nothing like sitting back and just tearing into your guitar playing some totally mean rock licks! Not to mention having the lead guitar confidence to play over any song or jam in any key at any time. This package will give you all the tools to do just that.

How Going ‘Above and Beyond’ Will Take
You to Another Level More Quickly

Let me be clear: I not only teach what scale every lick is taken from and how to apply the lick – I also demonstrate over jam tracks so that you can see and learn the practical musical application. And, YES, you DO receive the jam tracks on the accompanying Rock Jam Track CD!

To make learning even easier we also supply on-screen text, multiple camera angles, and close ups of the neck, fret hand, and pick hand.

I think you will find that my teaching methods are of the best available on the market today. I have successfully taught thousands of students all over the world and I am dedicated to getting your playing to the next level in the fastest and most efficient manner.

Know that if you practice these techniques, work hard, keep honing your skills and keep refining your art that these methods will bring you results – guaranteed.

I wish you the best in all your musical endeavors. Enjoy the journey, and as always……..ROCK ON!

We discuss our teaching philosophy and how to get the most out of these lessons so you can get your playing to the next level in the fastest and most efficient manner. We teach you how to learn from licks as you will not only learn licks but also the scales they are pulled from, why they work, how to use the licks in various keys, how to vary them into hundreds of other licks, and how to practice them over the accompanying audio jam tracks CD. Learn valuable practice tips on scales, scale application, key, a progressive and logical order for learning different scales, practice playing tips, jam track usage, and more - all to help give you as complete a guitar education as possible as you move forward in your guitar journey.

This will help get you the lead guitar confidence to be able to play lead guitar over virtually any song or progression.

You will learn how to analyze chords, songs, and progressions and then go straight to the proper lead guitar avenues without even thinking about it. And in the above DVD lessons on the Rock Licks DVDs I prompt you at various points to go to a certain rock jam track to apply what you have been learning – so it all gets tied together. So now instead of just playing along to some nice background music, you are involved in a real, exciting tutorial that will take your lead guitar playing to new heights. Here is what the pack contains:

AUDIO JAM TRACK CD - This killer CD has ten full-on Rock Jam Tracks that are both fun and empowering to use as practice tools. These tracks are a great way to hone your lead guitar skills to a sharp edge and they sound awesome because they have been professionally recorded and mastered at Sound Source Studios here in San Diego.

Included are minor key and major key tracks, heavy rock, power chord rock, minor blues-rock, mellow grooves, ballads, and more. I mixed it up across the rock genre to allow for maximum playing examples and maximum learning potential.

COINCIDING LEAD GUITAR WRITTEN LESSON PDF BOOK – this book is packed with over 56 pages of lead guitar lessons. It is the keystone that transforms the Rock Jam Tracks CD from mere background music to focused tutorial.
