About this course

This is a terrific opportunity to join Laurence Juber, former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings, in his own studio and learn his wonderful tunes.

By the end of this course, you'll know how to play Laurence's tunes and have a better understanding of the musical ideas and musicality behind the notes.

You'll gain a lot of insight into melodic development, chord voicings and rhythms, as Juber emphasizes the conceptual building blocks of his music over the purely physical challenges of playing these pieces.

Please note: The original source for this online course is a DVD. The artist/teacher may refer to a DVD and sometimes a book, neither of which are included with your purchase. Instead, you will have lifetime access to stream the course on all your devices and PDFs of the transcriptions from the book. DVDs get damaged and lost and books can go missing, but these courses are available to you whenever you want and wherever you are!

Meet the Guru

Laurence Juber

Laurence Juber

Laurence Juber first became known as lead guitarist in Paul McCartney's band Wings. Since then he has built a career as a fingerstyle guitarist, composer and arranger, working largely in the DADGAD tuning that earned him the nickname 'the Duke of DADGAD'.

He has been voted Guitarist of the Year by readers of Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine and named among the top guitarists by Acoustic Guitar magazine, alongside a long list of solo albums and worldwide touring.

In his courses he teaches his fingerstyle technique and the DADGAD tuning he's known for, how to arrange melody, harmony and bass together for solo guitar, and the pieces - like his signature 'Wooden Horses' - that bring it all together.
