Now Filming — Limited-Time Pre-Sale Open

Adam is in the studio right now filming his new class on The Art of Rhythm Guitar.

Fifty years of teaching, distilled into one skill: how to make the guitar groove — and nobody teaches it like Adam Levine. Because the guitar is a drum, and rhythm motivates melody.

Straight talk

You're getting in first — and I want to be straight with you about what that means.

This isn't a finished course sitting on a shelf. I'm in the studio filming it right now, with a live professional trio behind me. Here's the deal, plain and simple:

01

It's in production

The class is being filmed and edited now. Early Access members get first access at launch — within the first two weeks of August 2026. No fluff, no filler; we ship it when it's right.

02

Lowest price it will ever be

$97 today. $147 at launch, $197 regular. That's 50% off the regular price for pre-launch supporters — and your price is locked for good.

03

The pre-sale bonus is real

Early Access members get a special live Q&A & Rhythm Guitar Session with me — we dig into the groove together, and you ask me anything.

Adam Levine, guitar teacher for 50 years

Your teacher

Adam taught the players who played with the greats.

I've been teaching guitar for 50 years. I directed the guitar program at the Dick Grove School of Music, taught at Musicians Institute in Hollywood, and studied privately with Joe Pass. My former students have gone on to play with Michael Jackson, George Benson, Celine Dion, and Norah Jones.

And after all those years, here's what I know for sure: "You don't have a strumming problem — you have a groove problem." This class fixes that.

The Rhythm Section Method

Four pillars. One outcome: you groove.

This is the method I've refined over 50 years of teaching working musicians. Simple ingredients, deep results.

PILLAR 1

The Feels

The guitar is a drum. Every song you'll ever play lives in a feel. Learn to hear each one, count it, and lock into it — each taught through its own song, with the trio playing behind you.

  • Straight 8th & 16th note feels
  • The triplet feel
  • The shuffle — blues, country & Chicago style
  • Rock, Americana & country grooves

PILLAR 2

The Pocket & The Push

Settle into the pocket — then learn the push, the anticipation that makes a band lean forward. This is the difference between keeping time and driving it.

  • The rhythmic push (anticipation), step by step
  • Single & double pushes on 8th notes
  • Single & double pushes on 16th notes
  • Pushes in triplet & shuffle feels

PILLAR 3

Triads & Hip Chord Moves

Small shapes, big intent. Your chords stop sitting still and start telling a story — up and down the neck, on every string set.

  • The triad chord types — major, minor, dim, sus & add2
  • Closed & open voicings, and their inversions
  • Upper & lower neighbor chord moves
  • Moving lines inside a chord — the sound of hit records

PILLAR 4

Power Chords, Riffs & Real Songs

Rhythm motivates melody. The moves that built rock, blues, and country — then you put every one of them to work in original songs cut live with the trio.

  • Power chords from the 6th, 5th & 4th string roots
  • The 5–6 and 5–6–♭7 moves behind classic rock & blues
  • Kernel chords — the pro's shortcut to jazz & blues changes
  • A songbook of originals: rock, blues, country & jazz

Everything included

A Special Q&A & Rhythm Guitar Session with Adam

When the course launches, every early access member is invited to a special live Q&A & Rhythm Guitar Session with me. We'll dig into the pocket, the push, and the chord moves from the class together — and then you ask me anything: 50 years of teaching, no question off the table.

This session is for early access members only. It won't be sold later.

Simple as 1-2-3-4

Questions, answered straight

Frequently asked questions

When do I get the course?

Early Access members get first access at launch, within the first two weeks of August 2026. This is a pre-sale — you're charged today, and the course arrives when we finish filming and editing it. The limited-time pre-sale itself closes August 5. You'll get progress updates by email so you always know where things stand.

Why is it cheaper now than at launch?

Because you're backing it before it's done. Early Access members take a small leap of faith — you wait a few weeks — and in return you save $50, lock the lowest price forever, and get the pre-sale bonus. At launch it's $147, then $197 regular — no bonus.

What do I get today, and what comes at launch?

Today: your pre-sale spot is reserved, your price is locked at $97, and you're on the early-access list for updates from the studio.

At launch: the full video class, the workbook, the trio backing tracks, the reference guides, mobile app access, lifetime access — and your invitation to the special live Q&A & Rhythm Guitar Session with Adam.

What if I change my mind? What's the refund policy?

Two layers of protection. First, the Pre-Sale Guarantee: if we don't deliver the course, you get a full refund. Second, once the course is in your hands, you have a 7-day money-back guarantee. If it's not for you, you get your money back.

Is the course really being made?

Yes — Adam is in the studio filming right now with a live professional trio. That's why the badge at the top of this page says "Now Filming." Early Access members will see behind-the-scenes clips from the shoot as we go.

Who is this for?

Any player — any age, any level — who's serious about sounding better with other people. If your chords are fine but your playing doesn't feel right, this is for you. As Adam says: you don't have a strumming problem, you have a groove problem. The class works across blues, jazz, rock, and country.

The guitar is a drum. It's time you played it like one.
