Ive taken lessons with Rafa and he was hands down the best teacher I have had the pleasure to work with. He understands the language of music, guitar, and is able to translate the importance of learning the fundamentals, listening, practice, feel, and developing your own voice. They picked the perfect name for this course because that is exactly what Rafa is teaching you how to do. I found the content in this course to be inspiring and entertaining. Great production value and easy to use. This will get you on the path to be free on the instrument to take it wherever you want to go. Definately Recommend

A true gem in the world of music education
I have had the privilege of being taught by the best guitar teacher out there, and I can't express enough how incredibly fortunate I am to have found such a talented and dedicated instructor. Rafael’s teaching skills are nothing short of perfection. From the very first lesson, it was evident that I was learning from a true master of his craft.
Rafa, has an amazing approach to teaching. His ability to break down complex concepts into manageable, easy-to-understand lessons is unmatched. He has an incredible way of catering to each student's unique needs and pace, making the learning experience enjoyable and rewarding.
Rafa's dedication to his students is remarkable. He goes above and beyond to ensure that every session is productive and enjoyable. His patience, encouragement, and enthusiasm for teaching are truly inspiring. It's clear that he has a deep passion for sharing his love of music and the guitar with his students.
Beyond his technical expertise, Rafael also has a remarkable ability to motivate and instill confidence. He not only teaches you how to play the guitar but also how to believe in your own abilities. His positive attitude is contagious, and it's hard not to feel a surge of excitement about your progress after every lesson.
He is, without a doubt, the best out there. His perfect teaching skills, amazing approach, and unwavering dedication to his students make him a true gem in the world of music education. I couldn't be happier with my choice, and I wholeheartedly recommend Rafa to anyone looking to learn the guitar from the very best.

Rafael, a genuine master of his instrument!
I went to school at Musicians Institute back in the day when Rafa was there. He has always been an incredible musician and person. As of recent, I have studied music with him and have learned so much in such a short duration of time. It has been such a wonderful experience to reconnect with him and learn from a true master of his craft. Most importantly, he has taught me some techniques that have really helped me to augment my personal playing style. As his teaching ethos is not to create clones, but to create highly efficient players with a strong sense of individuality regarding their own playing. Everything this guy has to offer from his playing, teaching and personality is pure quality and substance. This course is no exception!

Rafa - guy with one of the best time feels in the business
I was fortunate enough to study with Rafa in person for a very brief time. I have to say he's one of the most musical and groovy guys out there in the business. His time feel and phrasing... just out of this world and obviously his technique as well. Learned so much from him in
the past. I was very excited to get this e-course. I think this course is exactly what Rafael is. This course is filled with cool advice and exercises to help you with things that matter most in music and guitar playing. From technical stuff (scales, arps) to phrasing, time feel, licks and so on. Rafael is the guy who can really play when it matters
the most, this is what this course will help you with. Enjoy!
