Unlock you musical potential, Essential Music Theory Made Easy


My 5 Pillars of Music Theory course focuses on only the core 5 pieces of music theory that you will need to level up your musicianship and unlock your playing forever!


This easy music theory training will help you learn the most powerful, and practical pieces of music theory so you can understand more than just how to play a song.


These concepts can easily be applied no matter what your current skill level is.

Why my system will work for you:


  • You'll start from the beginning

We start from the beginning and set you up for success. Even if you have a basic understanding of music theory, most people overlook some key items that can lead to confusion and frustration.

  • You don't have to be a great guitar player

Even if you aren't an intermediate or advanced guitar player, I've got you. I've included all types of resources as well as simple acronyms that anyone at any age or skill level can learn.

  • Easy to follow Instruction

We will walk through the entire process with step-by-step so that even if you’re the most technologically challenged person in the world, you’ll be able to learn the material. Don't worry if you can't make the live Q&A sessions because everything is recorded and uploaded to the site.

  • Focus on simplicity over complication

Simple. Simple. Simple. I’m all about keeping things simple. It works because I keep it ridiculously simple. This isn’t push-button easy (if it were, you’d have it all figured out already), but I simplify and reduce the overwhelm as much as possible so that you can finally learn what the pros know.

  • You don't have to go it alone

Along with lifetime access to your course materials, and live sessions, you also get access to a community of other students, as well as access to me during our 4 included Q&A sessions.

Meet your course instructor

Hi, I am Brett Blakemore

Im what you might call an OG guitar player and instructor. All that means is that I've been doing this for a VERY long time, so if you're looking for someone with a ton of experience, look no further

I am just like you.

I remember learning my first rock songs from a friends older brother. I spent years floundering around on the guitar having no idea what it was that I was actually playing.

After being fired from a great gig for not having the songs totally memorized I knew I had more to learn.

I knew that I needed to learn the why behind the riffs, chords, and scales to get to the next level.

Luckily, a mentor showed my the most important pieces of music theory and it changed my life forever.

The way he taught me was ridiculously easy and I remember thinking, everyone should learn it this way.

After years of refining the teaching materials to make this as easy as possible, I am now ready to teach you this little known method of learning music theory.

I am here to help you.

This course will teach you my most successful music theory strategies, techniques, and other secrets.

SO many students have told me that they desperately want to break through their guitar playing rut but they just aren't sure how.

By simply understanding what it is that you are playing you are leveling up and that is exactly what you want.

If you desperately want to break through your playing rut, then my 5 Pillars of Music theory class is for you. I will give you everything you need to make your guitar playing the best it can be.

Total Transformation.

You will be on the path to become the best musician you can be once you master these simple concepts.

James Schiffman PH.D

"The course helped open up the guitar neck for me. I can now connect triads to scales — major, minor and pentatonic — and began moving around the neck, finding more interesting ways to reshape songs I’ve been playing for years."

Andrew Bove


Fayette Lamphere

"I want to thank you for this course! It got me over several road blocks and my playing continues to improve. You explained some very useful information and I refer to my "5 Pillars Bible" often. I highly recommend this course."

David Tarkington


Andrew Bove

"I had so many a-ha moments in class and now know so many new aspects of the guitar."

Eric Lovegren

"The material is a unique combination of theory and practical application that has helped me break through roadblocks and plateaus to make real progress in my playing. No I can easily see triads, licks and scales all over the fretboard. I am now playing live and with more confidence than ever before."
