So, who am I?
I am a guitarist from a small coastal City called Galway, which is located on the west coast of Ireland. I love music, tech and animals and my life basically consists of these three things. I’ve played guitar for about 20 years and have always loved the guitar style of artists like Hendrix, Mayer, SRV, and Eric Clapton. I wouldn’t really consider myself particularly ‘gifted’ when it comes to the guitar and have come across many others who I would consider much more innately ‘talented’.
However, I have worked at this game as long and as hard as anyone and so have somehow been able to make a living with my instrument. In being a ‘half-talent’ (ie. not being one of those aliens who picks up a guitar and is instantly Eddie Van Halen), I would consider myself much better qualified to teach you this style of music. I’ve come up against every struggle, trial, and tribulation that you could possibly come up against in learning this style of music and so I know the difficulties, and more importantly, I know how to get around each and every one.
Want to learn something?
Finally, our merch range is designed to help you remember the concepts that I teach in this course. So that if you’re trying to remember what you learned, you can see it every time you look in the mirror, every have a cup of coffee or every time you’re going to sleep. Drill. it. in.
Testimonials

Here is just a small sample of some of the amazing reviews, taken from real, verified users directly from Trustpilot.

I already knew that Jamie had mastered things that I needed to learn just from the YouTube videos alone, but I was blown away by the depth of technique and nuanced approach to the "feel" and ownership of the sound that he teaches! I've grown tired of just getting a tab or the chords of a song because what I really want in my musical pursuit is to own the sound and express music the way I feel it and want to share it. This is the first time I've started to understand this at this level. Thanks Jamie!
Benjamin
I'm already enrolled since 2020 with Jamie Harrison guitar courses. I have the everything bundle (all the courses are just mind-blowing), I have the JHG Method which is magnificent (this is almost a lifetime project, there is everything you need to know of every little aspects, secrets, tips and tricks on the guitar). Now just got myself the JHG Rig and again it's wonderful. If you're looking for Jamie's secret tone that's the way to go 🙂 Responsiveness, friendliness are beyond expectations. Best purchase ever! 🙂
Jonathan Staves
I’ve purchased many courses in my pursuit of guitar mastery and Jamie’s the only one I’ve come back for a repeat purchase. Beyond the fact that the quality of the content is obviously amazing, he is a real down to Earth caring individual as well. I always buy “why” someone does something and not just the “what”. Jamie is passionate about music and wants to share it with the world. He’s created a community that embodies this same values. Don’t delay. Come be a part of this beautiful thing he’s created.
Matt Gordon
If you're interested in starting your guitar journey or building on your skills, Jamie is one of the best. Amazing player, beautiful tone and smart easy to follow tutorials. I came across Jamie's cover of Gravity on youtube which absolutely blew my mind. I immediately jumped on his website and purchased a few tracks. I am extremely happy with how well he teaches content, supports the learner and fosters a great learning environment and experience. He re-ignited my passion for learning and playing again after a hiatus from gigging. Thanks Jamie. Enjoy learning to become a better player and adding a few bangers to your repertoire!

One of the biggest guitar apps on the market
Just calling this an ‘app’ feels like a drastic underestimation of what it can do… It’s more like a 20 apps-in-one ‘Super-app’!
The JHG Method is made up of 2 main sections; Training and Tools. The Training section can be used to improve your ear, develop speed, improve fretboard knowledge and agility. The Tools can be used to get in time, loop your playing, keep time, create backing tracks, tune your guitar and more! Each section has many of it's own modules, so in reality it's like 20 apps in 1!
Having this app in your pocket means that you can practice your skill from anywhere and everywhere. On the train or bus? A coffee shop? In bed? At the back of the classroom? Or basically, anywhere you don't have access to a guitar? You can still be training your ears to hear and identify any sound.
The JHG Method App is built on the latest version of one of the world's top game development platforms, created from scratch with fully optimized, proprietary C# code. All these techy buzzwords basically mean that I own every last section of this app, and so have made sure it's the best for speed and performance. Additionally, we can tweak the code, improve it endlessly, and app any additional features our community desires without any limitations from 'App Builder' software. Basically, this app has been built with 1's and 0's, so the only limitation is our imagination.
Look Inside
There are a total of 21 different Training Modules and 10 different tools. Each module could be an app in and of itself!
The quickest way to get to know every note on the fretboard. We all know we should know all the notes, but wow is it boring to try learn these. Well, now you can learn them using the fretboard trainer! Take one string at a time, or take all 6, and challenge yourself to find all the notes that are being called out!
'Name the' Modules are Ear Training Modules that allow you to listen to a sound that is being played, and choose which sound that is using the buttons on the screen. There are 'Name the' modules for Chords, Scales, Intervals, 3rds, 4ths and 6ths, Arpeggios, Chord Progressions and Chord Tones. Train your ear to hear and immediately absolutely any musical sound!!!
'Play the' modules are fretboard mastery modules, which call out a Chord, Scales, Interval, 3rds, 4ths and 6ths, Arpeggios, Chord Progressions or Chord Tones, and it's position on the fretboard and you have to find it as fast as you can. For example, hear 'C Chord, D Shape' being called out, and you must jump to that chord as fast as you can.
See a jumble of letter on the screen and identify exactly which key is being shown. A super quick way to get to know what notes and chords are in every single key.
Not sure about the sound of your scales yet? Not familiar with all positions? Set the scale, position and speed that you would like to work on in the Drills module and have an audio companion play out that scale along with you.
One of the coolest features of the app is the ability to make your own custom made backing tracks. Select your rhythm, length, key, chords, tonality and solo along to professionally recorded backing tracks. Add or remove bass and drums, and add in 'Challenges' with Challenge Tracks to really push your soloing to the next level.
Seen someone play a chord or scale you don't know? Want to see all positions and shapes of a chord or scale? The dictionary modules allow you to do just that! Just enter what chord you saw and we'll tell you what chord or scale that is, or else enter the name of a chord or scale and we'll show you all possible positions and shapes of that scale/chord.
Always need a tuner right? Included are two fully customisable tuners, Use 'Full Tune' to play your guitar into your device and it will tell you if you are in tune or not, or "Quick Tune", where you can play each string to get a quick idea of where you should be!
Would you like to know what speed (BPM) a song is being played at? Tap the big blue button along to the beat and we'll tell you exactly what speed the song is!
Get an old school, vintage metronome and adjust it to whatever speed you want to learn at!
An extension of the Metronome module, use the speed trainer to set a starting BPM, set an ending BPM to gradually speed up as you go when learning a new lick, riff or scale.
Included is a looper so that you can get quick loops recorded to play along to. Set the timing, BPM, Bars, Automatic or Manual looping and get recording!

My magic bullet of tone
“This is the closest thing to a ‘Magic Bullet’ that you will find to get my exact guitar tone. For a fraction of the price!”
This incredible piece of software was originally created to recreate my exact tone for MYSELF while I was traveling or had no access to my studio. I tried every other plugin on the market and none of them got it right, no matter how big the company or how big the budget. They always had a focus on driven and distorted tones, but not one that I tried nailed that warm clean tone. So I took it upon myself to create my own, took no shortcuts, spared no expense, and worked side by side with an incredible developer for over a year in order to acheive the best possible tone, in the most convenient and easy to use package!
This audio plugin takes my exact amp, pedals and mastering chain, sends it through thousands of different methods of analysis to replicate my exact tone. It is then rounded, warmed, and fattened through pedals and mixing/mastering hardware and finally it is fine tuned by the ears of yours truly to give it the most beautiful and accurate tone possible.
What's the biggest test of whether I myself think this is high quality or not? Well, I release my own music that uses it! Every company will tell you their product is the best, but there's not many who can stand behind what they do so much, that they actually have released their own songs using it - when they also have access to the rig it's based upon! I've used this plugin on multiple songs I've released (I have millions of streams on Spotify), even though I have access to the real equipment, and will continue to use it for my own projects.
The three sections
The JHG Rig is made up of three distinct sections, to give you everything you need for the perfect guitar tone, in an easy-to-use, beautifully designed package.
Getting started with the perfect foundation is the most important part of a great tone. With a warm, lush and 'creamy' tone, the amplifier in the JHG Rig is based on my very own amplifier, combined with the EQ I use to really make it pop. Modeled to perfection, dressed up in vintage clothing :)
You don't need a million pedals for incredible tone. However, there are a few must-haves that should be on every guitarist's setup. The JHG Rig features my minimal, but high-end pedalboard, featuring a Compressor, Overdrive, Delay and Reverb pedal, modelled after my favourite pedals in the world.
To finish off your sound and add a touch of 'polish' I've included a 4-band Equalizer, with my own proprietary programming, and a FET compressor modeled after one of the most famous pieces of studio hardware ever made. Both are adjusted to suit guitar players with none of the extra unnecessary fluff.
Use one of the official JHG Presets included with your purchase or create your own to get quick access to your favorite tones. The official nine included presets feature everything from dry studio tones to atmospheric cleans and fully driven leads for big dirty solos.
Let the tone do the talkin'
All sounds below were recorded using The JHG Rig and a pretty midrange Mexican Made 60’s style Fender Stratocaster. There are no external sounds or post-processing applied.
Available as AU and VST plugins, this makes The JHG Rig usable in all major DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations – Recording Software) including Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Ableton and tonnes more… Just add the plugin on any audio track and hear your guitar come to life!
Just want to practice? Or even use it to play a live show? You can also run the plugin as a standalone software, with no DAW necessary. Just plug in your guitar, set your computer’s output to your speakers or headphones and you’ll get all the benefits of the plugin without the need for any additional software!

“Login, take your courses, download your courses to view offline, loop videos, slow down and speed up videos. A simple app to make your life easier”
It's easy to take your courses on a laptop or a computer, but if you don't have access to one, sometimes logging in on the phone and using websites can be a little bit of a drag on mobile devices.

And no worries about logging yourself out when you... ahem... clear your browser history
If you're going to be without wifi for a while, or simply don't want to stream video on your data plan, you can quickly and easily download courses for use offline. Use all the app's features when offline, and never miss an opportunity to practice because of your internet connection.
The JHG App is built on the latest versions of HTML, CSS and Javascript and so has been fully optimized for speed and performance. This app has been built from scratch, and I own the entire code. This means that we can add and remove features, further improve anything and everything and quickly resolve any issues. The only limit is our imagination!

So, who am I?
About me
I guess I should have gotten someone else to write my About section. They would have been able to say all sorts of great ‘market-y’ things about me. They would have told you that you HAVE to spend money with me or miss out on the best investment in your guitar playing life and in your life in general. That I will go down in history as the greatest guitar instructor of all time and YOU’LL miss out. That if you don’t buy NOW, the price will go up by thousands… So GIVE.ME.YOUR.MONEY.NOW!
But… I’m a straight shooter.
If I say something about myself, whether it’s good or bad, I say it it’s because it’s true. I’m not an ‘influencer’ or a ‘marketer’ so won’t give the same BS that you get from them all the time to try and convince you to part with your hard-earned money. Yes, I’ve played in front of thousands of people, I’ve travelled the world with my guitar, I’ve met and worked with lots of amazing people, but I’d prefer you to see the more ‘real’ side of my life, and not just the highlight reel where I show you how amazing and glamorous me and my life are. Us Irish folk are known to have a certain humility that makes us pretty bad at self-promotion and marketing, but also has given us a reputation as being pretty authentic people. It’s a character trait that’s bred into us from when we were kids, for better or for worse.
So, yeah… I’m just a dude. From Ireland. Loves music. Loves film. Loves tech.
I used the money I made to pay for my food and rent, buy some nice guitars, camera equipment and lights, and then put whatever was left into helping others. I met some wonderful homeless people on the streets who I would try to help by buying food and clothes and I donated the earnings of my busiest week of the year to a 3-year-old girl with Neuroblastoma, a rare form of children’s cancer. This story later went viral and snowballed into a huge national campaign to raise money for the disease. I say this not for a pat on the back for my charitable efforts, but to point out that this all came from a couple of wires on a piece of wood, and a determination to make a difference. In my mind, others needed the money more than me, and if I could do something to help, then I would. And as such, It went far beyond just ‘I’ll play you some nice songs and you enjoy them’ and actually was making a genuine difference in the world.
Following this, I put a few guitar covers of songs I like to play on Youtube. I always knew I could play half-decently from the response I would get from people, but never thought I was particularly amazing or anything. I had known how much I had struggled to get to the point of being able to play these songs. How many bum notes had been hit over the years, how many wrong strings had been strummed, and how many questions I had asked of myself (Am I good enough? Maybe I don’t have what it takes. Should I do something else etc.). However, all the videos I uploaded were quickly becoming the highest-viewed versions of all of these songs online, and the comments I was getting were suggesting otherwise.
Over time, the courses grew, and the response also grew to the point where it became almost unbelievable. The feedback from people who had taken the courses was beyond incredible. People were genuinely emailing me to tell me how their lives had been changed by the courses. That I had ignited a motivation and inspiration in them that they hadn’t had for years. That I had helped them get the girl they wanted (or many of the girls they wanted) through the irresistible pull that musicians who can actually play seem to have over the opposite sex. That I had helped them get through their cancer treatment, or get over the loss of a loved one by finally learning ‘their’ song. That I had helped them set up a new band, which is now touring all over the world, get over their guitar-playing plateau, love music again, and finally understand the mechanics of the fretboard… The list goes on…
I would message other people completely unrelated to the guitar about something also completely unrelated and they would say ‘OMG you’re Jamie Harrison, I love your stuff dude’, or I would get recognized in a local park or in the music shops thousands of miles from my hometown. People were truly loving these courses, and clearly, I was doing something that was genuinely making a difference to people’s lives.
