Tim Collins × Adam Loves Guitar

Getting a Guitar Was the Easy Part. Now It's Time to Become a Musician.

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 Deep Dive
The Best Minor Pentatonic Course

The Best Minor Pentatonic Course

The Nucleus Patterns Method

Escape the box prison — solo freely in any key, anywhere on the neck.

$147$97
  • Connects all 5 pentatonic positions into ONE map
  • 70+ lessons + 40 etudes + backing tracks
  • Solo in any key, on demand — jam-session ready
See everything inside

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.

What you'll be able to do
  • The 4 doorways that connect all five pentatonic positions into one system
  • Position playing and 'riding the rails' across the whole neck
  • Soloing in any key on demand — no more freezing at jam sessions
  • Phrasing that goes somewhere: solos that tell a story instead of running patterns
What's included
  • 70+ structured video lessons
  • 40 etudes that turn each concept into permanent skill
  • Professional backing tracks · lifetime access

Self-paced — most students work through it in 4–8 weeks

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.

  • Hear, count, and lock into every feel: straight 8ths & 16ths, triplets, and the shuffle
  • The push — the anticipation that makes a band lean forward — step by step

Good Questions

Before You Decide.

Who is Adam Levine?

Berklee graduate, private student of Joe Pass, director of the guitar program at the Dick Grove School of Music, faculty at Musicians Institute in Hollywood — and for 50 years, the teacher of players who went on to perform with Michael Jackson, George Benson, Celine Dion, and Norah Jones.

What level do I need to be?

Every age and every level is welcome — "serious" means committed, not advanced. If you can hold a guitar, there's a starting point here. No music theory required: Adam teaches theory in the context of playing, at the exact moment your hands are doing it.

Why are these prices lower than the regular site?

Because of the collab. Tim Collins partnered directly with Adam, and this page carries special partner pricing as a thank-you to the store's customers. The crossed-out price is what each course sells for everywhere else.

Do I really get lifetime access?

Yes. Every course is a one-time purchase — all lessons, workbooks, and future updates to that course, forever. No subscription, no expiration.

What if it's not for me?

Every course has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Start the first lessons, and if it isn't right, email us within 7 days for a full refund.

Does my purchase really support Tim Collins?

It does — every purchase through this page is credited to Tim Collins automatically. Buying here supports the local store that set up your guitar.
