Frequently Asked Questions

Well, quite a lot, actually! But in broad terms, NVM provides two things that are missing from other sites:

  • Practice technique - The most important thing for any musician to learn is how to practice effectively.
  • Structure - Most people need a coherent plan to make steady progress, not just a bunch of unrelated tutorials.

A lesson covers one particular exercise or concept (e.g., strumming, paperclips, major scales) and consists of one or two videos + supplemental materials.

Courses are groups of lessons organized around a common theme (e.g., practice technique, bass guitar technique, fretboard theory).
