About this course

If you're ready to dig into the fundamentals that drive modern rock guitar, Jon Finn's online video rock guitar lessons in Rock Techniques, Vol. 1 are exactly where you need to be.

"I want to talk about power chords, palm muting, hammer-ons, pull-offs, bending, and slides — the core techniques every rock guitarist needs to own."

This step-by-step guitar course breaks down each technique individually, giving you the focused instruction and context to understand not just how to execute each concept, but how it functions across the neck. Every lesson is paired with purpose-built backing tracks so you can hear and feel each technique in a real musical setting — internalizing the sounds the way working guitarists do.

Whether you're building your foundation or looking to improve your guitar playing with more precision and confidence, Jon delivers clear, practical instruction that translates directly to the music you want to play. Each technique is explored in a way that makes the fretboard feel logical, connected, and expressive.

You'll practice and play with your instructor through the entire course at your own pace using TrueFire's intuitive playalongs, backing tracks, and learning tools. All of the demonstrations are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video, with controls for looping, slow motion, and fretboard animation.

Grab your guitar, and let's play rock guitar with Jon Finn!
