Acclaimed Australian musician and Maton endorsee Joe Robinson is a self-taught virtuoso guitarist who has just launched a 12 week online training platform called JOES12, featuring many other guitar legends such as Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Robben Ford, Keb Mo and Tommy Emmanuel to name a few. Joe has immersed everything he has learned into this 12 week course, which features over 30 hours of footage. Designed to give you a big picture view of the different aspects of being a modern guitarist, he’ll dive deep into topics like Practice, Foundations, Arranging, Gear, Improvising, Songwriting, Recording, Touring and so much more.
Not only will you learn first-hand from Joe about how he approaches his music, you’ll also hear him ask 19 of his mentors what they’ve learned during their careers. As well as chats with the guitarists named earlier, you’ll also get an insight into the minds of producers, engineers, luthiers and industry luminaries such as Fred Gretsch.
Joe has put together an expert team who will support you every step of the way. Whether you are already a member, or considering joining, there’s a FAQ section onsite or you can email and ask for further assistance.
“I am fortunate enough to travel the world playing music for a living and I am constantly asked about my practice schedule, what it’s like being on the road, what the Nashville scene is like, what books did I read, who did I study, how do I begin writing songs… the list goes on. I feel there is plenty of tutorial content out there – but not enough real insight into what is involved in being a professional musician,” says Joe of his JOES12 project. “My mentors have helped me so much during my journey as a musician and I’m so thrilled to be able to spread their wisdom to you all. I have no doubt that Immersing yourself in this course for 12 weeks will be an informative, enriching experience that will sharpen your skillset and deepen your music.”
