Most players spend years collecting tips and still feel like they're guessing. The missing piece was never talent — it's a teacher who shows you how music actually works. Tim Collins has partnered with Adam Levine — 50 years teaching, director of the guitar program at the Dick Grove School of Music, and teacher of the players who went on to perform with Michael Jackson, George Benson, Celine Dion, and Norah Jones — to bring that teaching to Valle de Bravo, Mexico.

The Daily Preparation System
Adam's personal warm-up method — turn technique into expression.
Technique is not the same as expression. Your fingers can fly and the solo still says nothing — these 18 targeted warm-ups close the gap between playing the notes and saying something with them. Ten minutes with these before you play, and the whole session changes.
10 minutes a day, folded into the start of any practice session

The Pick Drag & Fret-by-Fret System
Know every note on the neck — permanently — in 30 days.
You don't have a talent problem. Pattern memorization without fretboard mastery is like spelling a few words without ever learning the alphabet — you survive, but you never read or write fluently. This 30-day system does one thing brilliantly: it trains your brain and fingers to instantly recognize every note across the entire fretboard.
10–15 minutes a day · 30 days

The Nucleus Patterns Method
Escape the box prison — solo freely in any key, anywhere on the neck.
You memorized five boxes and still freeze when someone calls a key. That's not a practice problem — it's a teaching problem. The guitar world teaches pentatonics backwards: shapes first. Adam starts with the doorways BETWEEN the shapes — the connections that turn all five positions into a single, unified map you can navigate freely.
Self-paced — most students work through it in 4–8 weeks

The Rhythm Section Method
The skill almost nobody teaches — making the guitar groove.
The guitar is a drum — rhythm motivates melody. After 50 years of teaching, Adam puts it plainly: you don't have a strumming problem, you have a groove problem. Four pillars — the feels, the pocket & the push, triads & hip chord moves, and power-chord riffs — each taught over original songs cut live with a professional trio behind him.
Pre-sale: charged today, first access at launch (~4–6 weeks)

All Four Courses — One System
Everything above in one package: rhythm, fretboard, soloing, and daily practice.
Rhythm, melody, and harmony are one language — and these four courses teach it in the right order. The guitar is a drum (Rhythm), the neck becomes a map you can read (Fretboard), the map becomes freedom (Pentatonic), and the daily warm-ups (Workouts) make it all permanent. Bought separately: $378. As the collab bundle: $240.
Self-paced — most players run Workouts daily, Fretboard first (30 days), then Pentatonic and Rhythm
