Fretboard Freedom...
Most intermediate players get stuck in boxes and patterns. In this course, you'll discover a simple method for being able to play across the entire neck.
"Advanced" Techniques. From rakes, to arpeggios, to 2-handed tapping, Mike covers just about every essential guitar technique you'll need to know. Sometimes these are considered 'advanced', but Mike brings everything down to earth and makes it so darn simple.
Scales, Modes, and Music Theory. If you want to know which chord goes with which riff in which key, or what scale gives you the right effect, or how it all fits together, look no further.
Bending & Shredding...
Get exact instructions on where to place each finger on the fretboard. Yep, nice and slow so there's way to go wrong.
Bending and Vibratro. It's all about bending and shaking those notes so they come to life. Ever wonder how a great guitarist can take a couple of notes and make it sound like a million bucks? This is how. Every great guitarist has a mean vibrato and you'll have one too with the techniques you'll discover in Lead Guitar Star.
Become a master of vibrato. If you do nothing else but develop a strong vibrato, you'll be a great player. Mike gives you the no-nonsense formula for developing this critical technique.
Why Is This System So Dang Effective?
This course makes great use of what I call "song based learning", which simply means that you're learning key techniques WHILE you're learning great songs at the same time.
As someone who's been in the guitar teaching profession for a long time, I can tell you that when we've broken down songs, piece by piece, and taught them step-by-step, our students upgraded their skills significantly faster than when we taught them one trick at a time.
You get taught by an incredible teacher that makes playing the guitar fun and simple.
Most teachers overcomplicate things. Mike shows you how to play every song, technique and how to put it all together in a crystal clear way.

Here's 4 Potent Licks That We've Seen In Thousands Of Guitar Solos Over The Years From Legends Like Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Lynyrd Skynyrd (And Many More)
Lick #1: "The Mark"

Lick #2: "The Jimmy"
Another monster lick and even easier to play. The trick to this one is to keep the sound crisp and and not let the notes mush together like a chord. Jimmy Page used this in some of his most epic songs.

Who claims to be able to teach me how to play like a pro?
Let me introduce myself. My name is:
Mike Baelde

In 2011, I was 20 years old and fresh out of music college where I graduated with honours and won an award for music excellence which awarded me performing at MuchMusic HQ in Toronto. I continued my launch into a career in music and got in touch with the “Vancouver Guitar School” (founded by fellow music school grad, Will Ripley). We became fast friends and I became the lead guitar instructor reaching 1,000 students within my first few years of teaching. Making a big move out East to music central, Montreal, I toured heavily throughout Canada reaching thousands of audience members with my original music. I now perform around the Montreal area and am the head 1:1 instructor at Campfire Guitar Star.
