No, we're not talking about one of those evil little midi-crap machines that cats are using instead of real players 'cause gigs just don't pay what they used to. We're talking going solo on guitar and funkifying your six-string grooves with polyphonic techniques for crafting drum, bass, and horn parts a la Ben Lacy and his Two-Hand Groove Guitar technique.

If you're familiar with Ben Lacy, we probably had you at 'hello' and you're already downloading the course. For the rest of you, let's put it this way -- go to the big NAMM show or any major guitar festival; look for the biggest crowd of people; fight your way to the front of that crowd, and you'll find Ben Lacy playing his extraterrestrial you-know-what off. You won't believe your eyes and ears.

"Lacy's technique is so mind-boggling it really needs to be seen to be believed. He is a one-man band, providing his own bass and percussive parts while simultaneously laying down rhythmic chords and melodies."

Indeed, Lacy does things on guitar that no other living thing on this planet even comes close to pulling off. In fact, we couldn't come up with a technique category to even classify what he does. So, to be straight up about it, we can't promise you that Two-Hand Groove Guitar will impart everything you need to know to play like Ben Lacy. Nothing short of a mind-meld will accomplish that.

We can however promise that you'll learn to incorporate some of Ben's techniques into your own playing with powerful results. You'll also learn to craft and maintain majorly funky groove in any tune that you apply these techniques to. Plus, Ben gives you a peek under the hood of several of his signature tunes and arrangements.
