When these ideas were first introduced, we only offered them in a membership package for Uncle Tim's Teaching Center. However, after several requests to purchase specific elements, we wanted a way to offer individual parts to anyone. So we rolled out these products individually too.

But Uncle Tim's Teaching Center is the most cost effective way of getting all this. If you find you are interested in most of the resources in this site, you may want to consider joining The Teaching Center.

Here is what you get when you join.

A beginner can set up practice time and easily play along with every basic scale with this tool. This can prepare anyone for the video series which is also included (see below).

Every person that subscribes should have Uncle Tim's First Year. This entire program is based on it and at $14.95 it is the single biggest resource available to a new guitarist.
