From Basic Chords to Feeling Confident Playing With Others
Kelly started out knowing a few chords…
but like most players, bluegrass just wouldn’t click.
Now she’s building licks, understanding the fretboard, and actually keeping up at jams.

Wondering If Flatpick Foundations Is Right for You? (FAQs)
-
One of the biggest problems with learning guitar is that there's so much information out there, but very little direction on what to learn next.
That's why I built Flatpick Foundations around a clear, step-by-step path.
Instead of jumping between random YouTube videos, you'll learn how chords, rhythm, simple runs, and melodies fit together to make actual bluegrass music.
You'll always have something to work on, and you'll understand why you're learning it.
-
No!
Many of my students are in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. Some are picking up a guitar for the first time, while others are returning after decades away.
You don't have to play fast, memorize a hundred songs, or practice for hours every day to enjoy bluegrass guitar.
You just need a little patience, some consistency, and lessons that meet you where you are.
And that's exactly what I'm here to help with.
-
That's perfectly fine. You don't need to spend hours practicing every day to start making progress.
Flatpick Foundations is built around short, focused lessons that you can work through at your own pace.
Even if you only have 15–20 minutes to practice, you'll have something specific to work on instead of wasting time wondering what to do next.
There's no pressure to keep up with anyone else. Your guitar journey moves at your speed.

Item descriptionThen I don't want you feeling stuck with something that isn't right for you.
That's why Flatpick Foundations comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
You can get inside, explore the lessons, and see whether my teaching style works for you.
If you decide it's not a good fit within those first 30 days, you can request a refund.
My goal is to help you enjoy playing bluegrass guitar, not pressure you into something you don't need.

Flatpick Foundations is designed for everyday guitar players who love bluegrass music and want a simple, enjoyable way to learn it.
You'll feel right at home here if:
You're a complete beginner who's always wanted to learn bluegrass guitar but isn't sure where to start.
You're retired (or getting close!) and finally have time to check "learn guitar" off your bucket list.
You've been playing for a while but feel stuck playing the same chords, songs, and licks without making much progress.
You're picking up the guitar again after years away and want to get back into playing.
You've got a busy schedule and need lessons you can fit into your life without spending hours practicing every day.
You just love bluegrass music and dream of playing your favorite songs, whether that's on your front porch or at a jam with friends.
You don't need natural talent, years of experience, or a desire to become a professional musician.
You just need a guitar, a love for bluegrass music, and a willingness to learn. I'll help you with the rest!
