Back in 2015 my passion for music was dying…

My playing felt stale, repetitive, and boring.

I was tired of learning complex scales, theory and watching countless YouTube tutorials.

I just wanted to focus on the things I loved to play and take everything I loved about music to create my own stuff.

I decided to go all in on these 3 things..

  1. Soulful Expression

  2. Chords & Melody

  3. Song-Based Learning

And the CGM Method was born…
