Hi, I’m Adrian.
Let’s get you playing real rockabilly guitar.
I teach the way I’d show a mate on the couch. Step by step, at your pace, with the why behind every lick. Whether you’re picking up the style for the first time or you’ve been stuck on the same few runs for years, there’s a spot for you here.
20,000+ players already learn with me on YouTube.
No lock-incancel anytime
We’ll learn from
- Scotty Moore
- Cliff Gallup
- Carl Perkins
- Merle Travis
- Brian Setzer
- Tiger Army
What we’ll work on together
I don’t just hand you licks to copy. I show you why they work, so you can make up your own and sound like you.
Two ways in: buy any course on its own, or get every course with an All Access pass.
1
Rockabilly Rebuild
Start here
My main course. Five modules that rebuild your playing from the major scale right up to moving licks through the chord changes.
Major Scale · Intervals · Licks Primer · Across the Neck · Moving With Chords
2
Thumbpick Bootcamp
Keep the bass going while the melody rides on top. The Chet, Merle and Setzer bounce, broken into small drills you’ll actually stick with.
3
25 Psychobilly Licks
When you’re ready for something faster. Licks inspired by Nekromantix, Mad Sin, Batmobile and The Meteors.
4
Jazz & Swing Chords
The swing chord shapes behind Scotty Moore and the Sun session players. Part one of the series.

A bit about me
I’ve played it on stage, so I can show you how
I’m a guitarist from Melbourne. I spent years on the road with Sun Rising: The Songs That Made Memphis, playing the Scotty Moore and Carl Perkins parts every night.
These days I teach full time and make tutorials for my YouTube channel. I love seeing that moment when a lick finally clicks for someone. That’s what this whole site is for.
“He’s a genius!”
Gaby Moreno, Latin Grammy winner
“This guy can really play!”
Norm Harris, Norman’s Rare Guitars
I’ve shared the stage with
Tiger Army
Nekromantix
The Meteors
Mad Sin · Robert Gordon · The Fireballs · Zombie Ghost Train
and plenty more over the years
Kind words from students
“I’ve played around on guitar for 35+ years and was at best a hummer and a strummer. The Rockabilly Rebuild lessons intelligently build on each other. I’ve actually now been offered real gigs!”
Dr. Everett Stanton
“I was a fairly advanced player that just burnt out and lost interest. I now play better, and am more invested than I ever have been in my life.”
Dean Garrow
“Adrian is a fantastic guitar teacher. I’m an older student, but I just love going to lesson night. He’s with me every step of the way.”
Kirk Le Roy
