All courses are designed and are taught by “ master musician ” Terry Carter, who has almost 25 years of teaching, performing, and producing experience.

” Rock – Like – The – Pros ” basically separates the learning process into three key segments:

– Curriculum

– Styles, and

– Music Theory

Secondly, you can learn by picking any music style or genre, be it rock, blues, pop, flamingo, jazz, finger style, strumming song, classical, bossa nova, funk or country! Lastly, for the more inclined towards the literary approach there is the Music Theory section where you can learn music reading, fret board harmony, chord construction, scale formulas and more.
