Learn How to Van Halen!
Great Opportunity to Learn How to Shred Like The Masters!
MMA is back again and we're offering a rockin', interactive, educational, and rad group class! This program is geared towards anyone who is interested in taking the technique, scales, and more used by Eddie Van Halen and applying similar blistering licks to their own playing! By the end of this class you will be able to use chord positions to spice up riffs and compliment your band, make cool catchy parts by adding hammer-ons and pull-offs with chord inversions, transfer pentatonic positions like a boss, and look sweet doing it!
Our group classes are a great way to apply what you're learning in private lessons!
