PRIMAL GUITAR

A step-by-step course that show you how to fully understand guitar theory and turn it into actual playing skills.

How do you know what you should be focusing on to make meaningful progress on the guitar?

Do you feel like there are so many things you need to work on, but unsure where to focus? Doesn't it drive you nuts not knowing if you are practicing the right thing?

Most guitar lessons you find online teach random licks or exercises, but what you really need to get past the intermediate level is to completely master the fundamentals.

You need an easy to follow step-by-step system that helps you connect all those dots together on the guitar. You probably already know that you need to understand a bit more theory. And you probably also know that you need to get a bit more better when it comes to technique.

The problem is that all you can find out there are random guitar lessons covering random topics. And that’s not what you need. You need a plan. You need to know exactly what to do and when to do it so that you can finally freely play the guitar the way you’ve always dreamed of. 

Here’s the thing though.. Even if you had such a system to follow, you still need some flexibility within that system. Because even though you know you need to study certain things to get better, you also know that music is a language and your goal is not to play these formulaic predictable licks.. You want to really express yourself!

Here’s what you really need to break out of this plateau. You need a step-by-step practice routine with specific goals and practical ways to apply the concepts instantly so that you can actually see your progress on a day-to-day basis.

INTRODUCING THE PRIMAL GUITAR PROGRAM

Primal Guitar is a step-by-step system that equips you with the necessary musical skills you need to make significant progress and take control control of your playing.

This program will help you get out of the “intermediate guitar player’s no man’s land” so many players are stalled in. It helps you fill in all the gaps in your understanding while showing you exactly how to implement what you learn in your playing.

Primal Guitar completely takes out the guesswork of what you should be working on next. You’ll never wonder if you are practicing the right thing because all the prep work has already been done for you. You’ll be working on all aspects of music simultaneously without ever feeling like you are wasting your time. 

In this 12-week program, you’ll learn:
  • How music theory really works and how to actually use it when you play (not understanding this is why most players never get past the intermediate phase..)
  • How to develop a better technique and really know your fretboard so that you can play the ideas in your head.
  • How to play with feel and passion so that you can tell YOUR musical story.

With Primal Guitar, you'll achieve years of progress in just 12 weeks.

When you first start learning guitar, progress feels exciting and fast. That’s because you’re following a clear, simple path. One lesson might teach you how to hold the guitar, and the next might show you how to play your first note. It’s easy to follow, and every small step gives you a sense of progress. But after a while, things change.

As you improve, you no longer want to just copy songs or play memorized licks. You want to truly express yourself through music. That’s where many guitarists start to feel stuck. The old step-by-step method isn’t enough anymore. It worked for learning the basics, but it can’t guide you toward personal expression. Music is a language, and to speak it fluently, you need something more than basic instructions.

Here’s the problem: once you reach this point, it’s hard to know what to work on. There’s so much information out there, and trying to create your own plan feels overwhelming. You’re no longer just learning scales or chords—you want to make music that feels like you. But how do you get there?

That’s where Primal Guitar comes in. This program is designed to break you out of that rut by shifting the way you learn. Instead of focusing on just one aspect of playing at a time, Primal Guitar helps you improve every part of your musicianship all at once. We’re talking about theory, technique, ear training, musicality—the whole package.

In the beginning, it’s okay to focus on one thing at a time. But to express yourself fully on the guitar, you need to immerse yourself in all aspects of playing. That’s what Primal Guitar does: it’s structured, but flexible. You’ll work on everything you need at the same time, so your progress is balanced and steady.

The result? You’ll grow in ways you never thought possible. Instead of struggling for years to find your voice on the guitar, Primal Guitar will help you get there in just 12 weeks. It’s not about working harder, but working smarter—immersing yourself in every part of music, all at once. And that’s why, with this program, you’ll make more progress in 12 weeks than most players do in years of daily practice.


So what exactly will you learn in Primal Guitar? 

Once you finish going through the 12-week program, you will be fully equipped to freely explore your very own musicality without feeling like you’re being held back due to some missing information. Here’s a small preview of some of the things you’ll learn.

Improving Hand and Finger Coordination
For guys who’ve been playing for years, hand and finger coordination is often a challenge. Primal Guitar helps you break out of patterns and improve your dexterity through targeted exercises that blend theory and technique. You’ll strengthen the connection between your hands and the fretboard, making your playing smoother and more confident.

How to Apply Modes to Improvisation
If you’re tired of playing the same old licks and want to add more color to your solos, Primal Guitar dives deep into modes. You’ll learn not just what they really are, but how to seamlessly apply them in your music. This allows you to break out of the pentatonic rut and create more expressive, dynamic solos.

How to Play Fluidly and Seamlessly
Many guitarists are frustrated unable to flow smoothly between playing chords and  leads. Primal Guitar focuses on getting your playing to feel effortless. You’ll work on exercises designed to make your transitions smoother and your overall playing more fluid, so every note feels connected and meaningful.

How to Applying Theory to Solos
Music theory doesn’t have to be a mystery. In Primal Guitar, you’ll learn how to use theory in a very practical way that enhances your solos. Instead of just memorizing scales, you’ll understand why certain notes work together, giving you more control and confidence in your improvisation.

How to Play With Feel and Soul
Technical skill is important, but playing with feeling is what makes a guitar solo stand out. This course teaches you how to inject emotion into every note, helping you develop a more soulful sound that resonates with your listeners. It’s not just about speed—it’s about expressing your musical personality.

How to Play More Melodic
A good melody can make or break a solo. In Primal Guitar, you’ll learn how to build melodies that are memorable and captivating. You’ll discover how to craft solos that aren’t just fast but melodic, helping you play with more intention and depth.

How to Find Motivation to Practice Regularly
Many players hit a wall because they don’t know what to focus on next. Primal Guitar provides a clear, step-by-step path that shows you exactly what to work on. You’ll no longer feel lost or overwhelmed—every lesson brings you closer to mastering the guitar and finding your own sound.

How to Know What to Work on Next
Feeling stuck is frustrating, especially when you’re not sure where to focus your efforts. Primal Guitar takes the guesswork out of the process. Each lesson is designed to guide you step by step, showing you exactly what to work on next. You’ll always have a clear direction, so you can stop spinning your wheels and start making real progress.

These are just a few of the things you’ll learn in the course. To put it simply, Primal Guitar is your way out of being stuck as an intermediate player.

I thought Primal Guitar would be just another course with the promise of getting better with a magic solution…

But, I was so wrong!!! It’s a course you must commit in, and if you do so, you’ll be rewarded! Nothing is magic there: listen, put your hands on the guitar, stop thinking, try, now think, try again… voila! Instant results! Therefore you keep going -it’s the second thing I was worried about: will I quit before the end? I didn’t! Each week goes fast and you crave for the next one…

Because it’s segmented in weeks, you only concentrate on one aspect/one notion. Usually I go crazy everywhere and I ended up learning only sand grains… with the process being segmented, if you commit yourself, you’re rewarded with… maybe not the entire beach, but enough to build up a pretty nice castle!

At the end… when you get the big picture… you finally understand a bit more about what you use to play and where you can now continue to play, but differently, in other position, with totally new different pattern, reflexes, colors… it really helps to express yourself better.

I was hesitant to join because of the cost…

But I discovered that the course was worth every penny and I will be forever grateful for your generous gift, which renewed my love for the instrument.

My favorite part was the homework exercises which forced me to take up my guitar and transfer the teachings in each session to a practical application on the instrument, followed by the exam at the end of each module to test my knowledge.

The lessons were expertly sequenced as building blocks, one atop the other. The material was clearly outlined in the accompanying video clips and easy to understand. Primal Guitar exposed me to material that I had not given any thought to previously and put in perspective things that I had just taken for granted.

I would unhesitatingly recommend Primal Guitar to potential students, because David makes the course content, structure and tutelage easy to understand, interesting and fun. At the end of it, they will most certainly be the recipient of a vast amount of knowledge.

I enjoyed the course immensely, had fun participating and it challenged me to put in the time and work hard at it. I felt good with myself when I completed each module. In my opinion, the timeline for the course was quite adequate as it required me to be more disciplined in my approach. Thanks for an exceptional course.
