Trial & Membership FAQ

Everything you need to know before you start your free 7‑day trial.

How does the free trial work?
You get full access to everything — every course, the interactive fretboard app, live coaching, and the community — free for 7 days. You won’t be limited to a sample; you get the whole thing. If it’s not for you, cancel before day 7 and you won’t be charged a cent.
What happens when the trial ends?
After your 7‑day trial, your membership continues at $29.95/month. We’ll send you a reminder before your trial ends, so you’re never surprised by a charge. No long‑term contract — it’s month to month.
How do I cancel?
You can cancel anytime from your account page — no emails to send, no hoops to jump through. Cancel during the trial and you’re never billed. Cancel later and you keep access through the end of your billing period.
I’m not an advanced player. Is this for me?
Absolutely. The lessons span technique and fundamentals through advanced improvisation and arranging, so there’s a clear path whether you’re getting comfortable with your first jazz standards or deep into reharmonization. And you’re never practicing alone — bring your questions to the weekly live coaching.
What do I actually get for $29.95?
Structured video courses, hands‑on interactive etudes, the fretboard app for visualizing scales and chords, weekly live Q&A coaching with Jim, and a private member community — all in one place. It’s the complete practice system behind the YouTube channel.
Do you offer an annual plan?
Yes — an annual membership is available at checkout and works out cheaper per month than paying monthly. If you know jazz guitar is a long‑term journey for you, it’s the better value.

Still have a question? Start the trial — you can explore everything free for 7 days.
