FROM LESSONS TO THE STAGE
Β
Kevin Simm (singer with Liberty X, winner of The Voice UK and lead singer of Wet Wet Wet)Β came to Play Like A Pro with a very specific goal...
He was preparing for the Wet Wet Wet acoustic tour and wanted to get his guitar playing ready to become part of the live show.
WATCH THE VIDEO ---->
Kevin worked through my lessons to sharpen his skills, build confidence and prepare for the demands of performing onstage.
Β REAL STUDENT. FIRST ASSIGNMENT.
Β
WATCH THE VIDEO!Β ---->
This is one of my students completing their first improvisation assessment. The goal at this stage isnβt to play an incredible solo β itβs to start turning scale shapes into real musical phrases.

TAUGHT BY A WORKING PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST
ONE SYSTEM. ONE TEACHER. NO CONFLICTING ADVICE.
I'm Jamie Ellis, a professional session guitarist.Β I've spent years working on stages, sessions and in real musical situations. Play Like A Pro is the education system I wish I had when I was trying to join the dots myself.
Instead of sending you between different teachers and disconnected approaches, I show you how the pieces fit together using my real work experience. And, when you submit your playing, I can help you see what to work on next with personalised feedback.
I want to see you succeed. This isn't about enrolling you into a program to work through on your own!

THE YOUTUBE PROBLEM
FREE LESSONS AREN'T THE PROBLEM. RANDOM LEARNING IS.
You can find a video explaining almost anything on guitar. The problem is knowing what you need to learn, what order to learn it in and what to practise afterwards.
Play Like A Pro takes those decisions out of your hands and turns individual lessons into one connected learning path.
YOUTUBE GIVES YOU INFORMATION.
PLAY LIKE A PRO GIVES YOU DIRECTION.
01
STOP JUMPING BETWEEN TOPICS
One video teaches modes. The next teaches picking. Then CAGED. Then a blues lick.
Useful information β but no clear progression.
Play Like A Pro connects each skill to what came before it and what you should learn next.
02
KNOW WHAT TO PRACTISE
Watching another lesson can feel productive without actually changing your playing.
Every Play Like A Pro lesson gives you a clear way to practise and apply what you've just learned, so the information becomes a usable skill.
03
GET HELP WHEN YOU'RE STUCK
YouTube can't see your playing.
Inside Play Like A Pro, assessments and feedback help you identify what's working, what's holding you back and what to focus on next.

GOT A QUESTION?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything you need to know before starting Play Like A Pro.
Play Like A Pro is designed for guitarists who want more structure
in their learning. Whether you're still building your foundations or
you've been playing for years but feel like your knowledge has become
disconnected, the goal is to give you a clear path through the skills
that actually matter.
Yes. The learning path includes the essential foundations such as
chords, rhythm, technique and fretboard knowledge before progressing
into more advanced areas. You don't need to arrive knowing scales,
modes or music theory.
That's also exactly who Play Like A Pro is built for. Many experienced
players already know plenty of chords, scales, licks and techniques
but still feel there are gaps between them. You can move through
familiar material quickly and spend more time on the areas that are
actually holding your playing back.
Play Like A Pro brings the core areas of guitar development together in one
connected system. You'll work through fundamentals and chords,
technique, fretboard knowledge, scales and harmony, improvisation,
music theory, comping and rhythm guitar β with the emphasis on
understanding how those skills connect rather than treating them
as separate subjects.
No. That's deliberately what Play Like A Pro is trying to avoid.
Lessons are organised into structured pathways so you know what to
learn, what to practise and how each skill connects to what comes
next. The idea is to give you a curriculum rather than another
collection of videos to browse.
YouTube can be brilliant for finding individual lessons. The problem
is that you're usually responsible for deciding what you need to
learn next, whether a lesson is appropriate for your level and what
to practise afterwards.
Play Like A Pro gives those lessons an order. You follow a connected learning path, practise the material deliberately, apply it musically and have opportunities to get feedback when you need it.
Play Like A Pro gives those lessons an order. You follow a connected learning path, practise the material deliberately, apply it musically and have opportunities to get feedback when you need it.
You don't need hours every day. Consistent, focused practice is far
more valuable than occasionally practising for a long time. The
guided exercises are there to help you spend the time you do have
working on something useful rather than wasting half your practice
session deciding what to do.
The pathways give you a recommended progression because the skills
have been designed to build on one another. However, you're not
forced through the material at a fixed speed. If you already
understand an area, you can move through it more quickly and spend
your time where you need the most development.
No. Music theory is taught in the context of the guitar and connected
directly to things you can hear and play. You'll build your
understanding of areas such as intervals, keys, chord construction,
harmony, scales and modes as they become useful to your playing.
Yes. Improvisation is one of the core areas inside the system. You'll
work on using scales musically, phrasing, following harmony, targeting
chord tones, connecting the fretboard and developing solos that sound
intentional rather than simply running through shapes.
Assessments give you opportunities to apply what you've been learning
rather than simply watching another lesson. You can submit your
playing so I can identify what's working, highlight anything that
needs attention and give you practical guidance on what to focus
on next.
You can work through Play Like A Pro at your own pace. The assessments
are there because applying a skill is very different from simply
understanding it. They're also one of the best ways to use the
feedback available inside Studio, but you remain in control of how
quickly you move through the material.
Yes. Studio membership includes access to the Play Like A Pro student
community, giving you somewhere to connect with other guitarists,
share your progress and stay involved alongside the lessons.
Absolutely. There are no weekly deadlines forcing you to rush through
the material. Work through the pathways around your own schedule,
repeat lessons when necessary and spend longer on the areas that need
the most attention.
You need a guitar and an internet connection. You don't need expensive
recording equipment or a home studio. If you want to submit an
assessment for feedback, you simply need a way of recording your
playing clearly enough for it to be reviewed.
You can start Play Like A Pro today for Β£0 and spend your first
7 days exploring the membership, following the lessons and seeing how
the system fits your playing.
After the trial, your membership continues at Β£39 per month unless you cancel.
After the trial, your membership continues at Β£39 per month unless you cancel.
Yes. Play Like A Pro is a monthly membership, so you're not committing to a
long-term contract. If Play Like A Pro is no longer right for you,
you can cancel your membership.
You'll get access to Play Like A Pro so you can begin exploring
the learning pathways straight away. Rather than trying to consume
everything at once, start with the area that best matches your current
level and follow the progression from there.
