The Novice vs The Pro
I remember when things on the electric guitar really started to “click” for me.
At the time, I was already pretty comfortable with basics like chords and scales, I could play in a variety of different styles, and with practice I was able to nail some more challenging solos.
But even though I was having lots of fun, I still wasn’t able to play as fluently or as expressively as I wanted.
There was something missing in my playing, and I heard it every time I listened to more experienced guitarists.
I knew a lot of scales and theory, but I couldn’t recreate the magic I heard in some of my favorite songs:
The amazing licks that Mark Knopfler throws in between chords in “Sultans Of Swing”, the way that David Gilmour holds our attention with a 3 minute solo at the beginning of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, and the beautiful blending of lead and rhythm techniques in John Mayer’s “Slow Dancing In A Burning Room.”
At first, I couldn’t figure out how to bring the same ideas to life in my playing.
But after years of patient practice and study, I learned that there are a number of key differences between good guitarists and those that are truly great:
Becoming an advanced guitarist isn’t about getting faster, learning more theory or trying to play the most difficult licks possible.
And in fact, intermediates often waste years of practice focusing on these areas. Their technical skills and understanding both increase, but their improvisations and solos sound exactly the same.
It took me years of trial and error (and a lot of practice!) to identify the exact differences between intermediate and advanced players, and to learn how to start playing like a pro, rather than a novice.
And after teaching students privately for over 10 years, and connecting with thousands of guitarists from all over the world through my YouTube channel, I realized that a lot of guitarists struggle to make this same move beyond the intermediate stage.
So I decided to create a course to help intermediate guitar players become advanced by teaching them the techniques and concepts used by their favorite guitarists.
Introducing:

What Students Are Saying
“For a long time I had been stuck in a rut with my music, playing the same licks and ideas over and over again. It was predictable and uninspiring to me and worst of all to my audience. Paul Davids’ course Electric Elevation is just what I needed to give my playing a much needed boost. Like the name says it really did elevate my guitar playing to a new and enhanced level. The course offers refreshing, useful ideas and techniques that are paired with great tablature and instructional videos that make learning interesting and inspiring. All musicians, especially guitar players, want to try new things and keep moving forward and Electric Elevation will help you do just that.”

Electric Elevation Student
“It’s really the perfect course to take your playing to places you’ve always wanted it to go. There’s enough content here to last an intermediate guitar player a very long time, and to take you through to being quite advanced. There are deep dives into techniques here that fixed things I’ve been doing wrong for years. Paul builds on the music theory foundation he’s laid in his other courses to teach really practical ways of applying theory. I’ve done a fair bit of guitar courses around the internet and this one is very unique. It combines an extremely solid course structure with masterfully done videos and really fun, beautiful pieces to learn. I really think this is the course a lot of intermediate guitarists are looking for.”

“I now have 3 of Paul’s courses and began Electric Elevation with some nervousness as I was not sure if I pitched myself as an “intermediate guitarist.” You just have to enter this course to know that it will unlock so much of the instrument – sounds I only heard from professionals and making techniques available to me which I could not copy in any other way. Improvisation is also now a new thing as the course provides an arsenal and breadth of experience and fun. My confidence is growing – thank you Paul, keep making even a novice guitarist sound rewarding through fun learning.”

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, my name is Paul.
I first picked up the guitar when I was 12 years old. I was a kid with a red Squier and a dream of playing like Green Day, Metallica, and a local band called ‘de Heideroosjes.’
I quickly fell in love with the guitar and went on to study music with a minor in teaching at Rotterdam Conservatory.
I then split my time between playing live shows and coaching students privately – and over 10 years, worked with hundreds of students and a lot of beginners.
It was around this time that I launched my YouTube channel, and started connecting with thousands of guitarists all over the world.
For many years I felt like there was something missing in my playing. I knew a lot of scales and theory, and could even play some challenging solos, but I couldn’t recreate the magic I heard in some of my favorite songs.
However, eventually I discovered the missing pieces that transformed my playing.
From that time on, things started to come together in a way that made me see my guitar in a whole new light.
For example, I didn’t think of the minor pentatonic as just another scale – it became a springboard for unlimited creativity.
I began to understand how things like tone, intonation, vibrato, phrasing, and articulation are just as important as playing the right notes.
And I finally saw how keys, chords, and scales relate to each other and could be brought together to add a new dimension to my playing.
I began to feel at home on the guitar, and my playing became so much more natural.
I experienced a level of freedom and expression in my playing that I never knew was possible, and it only deepened my love and appreciation of the guitar.
If you are an intermediate guitarist looking to experience that same freedom and joy, I’d love to guide you through the process.
Cheers,
Paul
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What level of playing is required for this course, and how do I know if it’s right for me?
Electric Elevation is designed for intermediate-level guitarists who are ready to become advanced. To get the most out of this course, you should be comfortable playing the most commonly seen chords, barre chords and know some scales (like the minor pentatonic).
If you’ve been through Next Level Playing, then Electric Elevation is the perfect next step for you to take what you’ve learned so far and apply it in a more challenging context – so you can deepen your musical understanding and grow into a more nuanced and mature player.
If you don’t have the level of comfort with chords or the training described above, I’d suggest starting with my course Next Level Playing first to build your foundational skills.
And if you’re not sure what “level” you’re at, that’s ok! You can join the course and get started, and if it isn’t a good fit, just email my team (team@learnpracticeplay.com) within the first 14 days.
You can get a full refund, or exchange it for my step-by-step intermediate course Next Level Playing.
Q.How is this course different from Next Level Playing?
Next Level Playing is a step-by-step guide to learning the fundamentals of guitar – starting from a beginner/early intermediate level.
Electric Elevation builds on those concepts with the aim of providing intermediate guitarists with all of the tools that they need to become advanced.
Part of this is looking at technique, and how horizontal movement, arpeggios, spread triads and chord embellishments can add little touches of magic to your playing.
Beyond that, the course provides a deep dive into understanding chords and solos – and more importantly, how they fit together. We discuss ways to fluently combine elements like triads, chords, various scales, arpeggios, and target notes, all while looking at how we can best serve the musical context we’re playing in.
This is the perfect follow-up to Next Level Playing and will take you beyond the question of “what” to play, and help you develop your ear so you can intuitively make musical choices that sound great.
This will be a great fit for anyone who is already familiar with many fundamental guitar skills and is ready to get a deeper understanding of how to use them to play with greater fluidity and freedom.
If you are a player with some experience under your belt and you’re ready to develop a more advanced guitar skillset, Electric Elevation will be a great next step in your journey!
Q. What kind of guitar and gear do I need for this course?
This course is designed for the electric guitar, and I strongly recommend using one for it. No fancy gear is needed, just any electric guitar and amp will be enough for you to get the most out of the lessons.
If you don’t have an electric guitar yet, you can still join if you like, but some of the “electric” elements within the course (such as tone and other effects) won’t be possible without being plugged in.
We’re also playing things that are much harder (or even impossible!) on the acoustic: techniques like bending or playing higher up the neck.
Q. I’m not overly excited about theory, scales, and exercises; is this course for me?
Unlike my step-by-step courses Learn, Practice, Play and Next Level Playing, which are designed to cover the fundamentals of guitar (including theory, scales, and exercises), this course is not a systematic study of all aspects of guitar knowledge, level by level.
Rather, this course is an in-depth exploration of all of the musical elements we can bring together to create the most expressive playing possible.
So, while you will encounter some theory in passing, these will not be the main point of any lesson. Instead, you’ll hear me mention theory and scale concepts in the context of showing you how to play a piece.
Q. Do I need to be available at certain times to participate? What if my schedule gets busy?
Electric Elevation is a self-paced online course, so you can go through the lessons at any time that is convenient for you. And because you get lifetime access when you join, you don’t need to worry about your schedule getting busy.
If something does come up in your schedule that prevents you from starting right away or slows you down, the course will always be available for you to pick up again whenever you can come back to it.
Q. How quickly will I start making progress?
Practice is important when you are trying to become an advanced guitarist.
That’s not to say you have to practice for hours on end, every single day. But if you want to make significant progress, I would recommend setting aside manageable chunks of time each week that will ensure you can practice consistently.
And with the soulful songs and beautiful solos you’ll learn in this course, practice should feel fun and motivating!
Q. How long do I have access to the course?
When you join Electric Elevation, you get lifetime access to all modules and course materials. So you can work through the course at the pace that works best for you and fits around your life and other commitments.
Q. What if I don’t like the course?
There is a 14-day money back guarantee. So you can try the course out and see if it’s right for you. If you don’t love it, just send my team an email (team@learnpracticeplay.com). They’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked.
