Who Is

Solo School 2.0 For ?

Solo School is not for everyone. I created this for a very specific type of guitarist:

✅ Passionate Guitarists

You can't picture your life without a guitar.

NOT a beginner

You’ve been playing for years or decades - on and off - but still feel stuck

Want to Sound Expressive

You want phrasing, feel, melody, and emotion—but don’t know how to get there.

Overwhelmed by Information

You’ve learned scales, theory, licks, solos… but none of it sticks when you play.

Still Struggling to Improvise

When it’s time to solo, you fall back on the same ideas, same old licks.

Need a Clear, Focused Plan

You crave feedback and accountability. You wish someone would show you exactly what to practice to sound musical.

and made playing much more fun! "

If you want structure, feedback, guidance, and a community that keeps you inspired,

Solo School 2.0 was built for you.

What Makes Solo School 2.0 Different?

Other memberships brag about “hundreds of hours” of lessons and endless topics.

But more content doesn’t make you better. It overwhelms you, scatters your focus, and leaves you guessing what to do next.

Other Memberships:

  • Massive Content Libraries

    Hundreds of random lessons across dozens of topics. It’s overwhelming, with no clear starting point or finish line.

  • Choose Your Own Path

    Some memberships offer multiple pathways, “custom plans,” and more options. Too many starting points create confusion, and you waste more time choosing than improving.

  • Practice On Your Own

    They show you what to practice, then leave you to figure out how long, how often, and when to move on. The responsibility is all on you, while hoping you’re not wasting time.

  • No Real Feedback

    If feedback exists, it’s vague, inconsistent, and comes from random instructors—not coaches aligned to a single system.

  • Dead Community

    Ghost-town forums or Facebook groups with zero engagement. No one to support you, keep you accountable, or celebrate wins with you. No sense of community.

  • No Direct Access

    You’re just another username. No connection with the people behind the program, the coaches, or the community.

Solo School 2.0 :

  • Structured, Step-by-step

    Although you’ll have access to my entire library of courses and lessons - that’s not the point of Solo School. The real power is in the single, clear, step-by-step training path that helps you master melodic soloing.

  • One Clear Path

    ONE proven path with ONE clear goal: to help you improvise melodic solos with pro-level phrasing over any chord progression. Every lesson builds on the last, so you’re never guessing what to do next.

  • Plug & Play, Follow-along Practice

    Hit play, and follow the step-by-step exercises with on-screen instructions, moving dots, clear diagrams, and built-in backing tracks. All you need to do, is follow along.

  • Feedback Aligned to One System

    Every critique follows the same proven method—so your progress is consistent. Coaches are trained in the Solo School feedback system, and even the community gives feedback based on the exact same principles. Get clear, actionable advice that works.

  • An Active, Supportive Community

    Members log in daily to share solos, exchange ideas, talk about gear, and help each other improve. You’ll never feel alone, and you might even make a few friends.

  • Direct Access to me, Roy Ziv!

    Ask me questions anytime inside Solo School and join live coaching calls with me twice a month.

No generic advice.

No fluff.

No overwhelm.

No guessing.

Solo School has ONE mission:

Help you improvise melodic solos with confidence and pro-sounding phrasing.

Everything else: speed, technique, scales, theory... is just a bonus.

One goal. One clear path.

That’s what makes us different.

Why 100+ Guitarists Joined Solo School 2.0

and Stayed

These are testimonials from real members that you’ll meet inside Solo School when you join

"far more meaningful and helpful than any other course I have ever been a part of."

"When I was first considering joining solo school, I was unsure. I had gone through a few of Roy’s courses in the past and they were amazing, but I wasn’t sure if solo school would be as helpful as I was hoping.

Well, solo school has been far more meaningful and helpful than any other course I have ever been a part of. Before solo school, I struggled with playing solos melodically and with structure.

After a couple of months, I already have seen leaps and bounds in my playing that I haven’t seen in years.

The community is amazing to be apart of with incredible feedback from everyone as well as Roy himself.

It genuinely feels like Roy is MY guitar teacher and getting feedback from him on my playing and access to ask him questions on zoom calls is priceless!

I couldn’t be happier to be apart of solo school! ."

- Daniel K.

"I have been amazed to see how much everyone has progressed. "

"Last May Roy launched “Solo School” an online community where people from everywhere could share their guitar journey together in one space, and take lessons from one of the best.

Many of the exercises and challenges are being constructed in real time according to the needs of the students.

I have been amazed to see how much everyone has progressed. There is so much happening here, and making friends from all over.

It’s a sacred space suitable for growing and honing the craft. We are all happy to have this in our lives, and it’s all because of Roy’s vision and passion to take his students to new levels."

- Kenneth C.

"It's been positive and encouraging but also very specific about areas that could be improved."

"I like the personal feedback on a specific challenge/exercise. It's been positive (but not like everybody gets a medal for participation) and encouraging but also very specific about areas that could be improved.

The "challenges" have been challenging, which has made me be more focused during my practice than I often am just working on a subject on my own. Making videos of my attempts has also gotten me away from playing exercises in a vacuum.

For quite a while I've typically practiced unaccompanied, but wanting to post my efforts for critique/review meant a lot more time playing with tracks since the various "challenges" are posted with tracks...

once you feel you have some basics under control you get a reality check attempting them with tracks with some creativity involved, as opposed to rote repetition. And even learning the basics is done with tracks."

- Anthony W.

"more progress in my soloing in the past couple of months than in the previous twenty years. "

"As a recreational guitar player for the past decades, Solo School has been a game changer for me providing exactly what I needed to make more progress in my soloing in the past couple of months than in the previous twenty years.


Roy's framework, his aptitude for teaching, and the very clear and instructive exercises and weekly challenges, form a setting that I can easily follow from home.

This is paced nicely by a friendly course community and online meet-ups every fortnight where everything can be shared and discussed.

Additionally, students have the opportunity to upload solos online for direct feedback from the community, Roy and his team.

It is not mandatory but extremely valuable and highly recommended."

- Lars D.

"everyone is super supportive of each other "

"Roy deeply cares about his students and their progress. The feedback he provides on the solos we send him are always informative, constructive, and helpful.

The backing tracks are a blast to play along with, and everyone is super supportive of each other regardless of style and where they're at in their musical journey.

Also, Roy's ability to analyze his own playing and share exactly what he's doing and how he approaches it is unrivalled"

- Amy M.

"provides valuable tailored feedback for each player"

"Roy Ziv’s Solo School has been an exceptional experience thus far for me, offering a unique advantage compared to other platforms.

After trying lessons from various schools and platforms , Roy Ziv’s lessons stand out due to their ability to accelerate progress. He shares valuable insights and tools he developed through his own hard work, saving students time and money.

Solo School has live meetings, provides valuable tailored feedback for each player, and has a great positive community as well. I am very pleased so far with the knowledge gained and the progress made, and highly recommend the Solo School to any guitarist wanting to improve their skills quickly who may feel stuck in their playing. Thank you Roy for your passion in music and guitar, and for your dedication in teaching."

- Deborah E.

"Nothing as good as Solo School. "

"Let me begin to say that i've done several courses and used lots of online resources before, but there is nothing so good as solo school 2.0.

Roy is a superb teacher. In most courses they only focus on arpeggios but Roy teaches us everything. He teaches us phrasing rhythms and structures and also how he incorporates chord tones himself. He shows how to stay in a tonal centre without only play arpeggios. This was a huge lightbulb moment for me.

Also you can post videos from stuff that your working on and you can ask roy anything. He takes the time to answer and give detailed answers.

Let me say that im not a beginner, i know my chords, arpeggios and inversions and music theory. However roy focus on structured excersises with goals so we focus on one area and ingrain that in our ears and muscle memory.

I recommend solo school for every intermediate student who wants a structured way of learning and detailed feedback."

- Tim I.

"more creative and intentional with the way I'm creating licks and improvising. "

"I love the systematic approach the program follows. The concepts are simple yet very powerful and the exercises are designed to drill them in your system while having fun. I very much enjoy the way we practice by playing but adding some little restrictions or rules. It makes the practice fun, boosts my creativity and prevents me from noodling around in my comfort areas of the fretboard.

The community is very supportive and has two major benefits in my view: as listeners, some colleagues provide valuable feedback on my solos, things that I might otherwise have overlooked completely; as participants, their solos provide me with ideas I may want to incorporate to my own playing. Plus, it feels good to be part of a group where everyone is working on the same things at the same time. On top of all this, Roy's direct feedback on my solos, is extremely valuable and helps me ensure I'm on the right track.

After a few weeks I definitely feel more comfortable and confident playing in certain areas of the neck as well as more creative and intentional with the way I'm creating licks and improvising. I'm looking forward to what's coming next!."

Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Roy Ziv, and for over a decade, I’ve helped thousands of guitarists improve their technique, and play with confidence.

With over a million combined followers on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, my work has been featured in Guitar World Magazine and MusicRadar, and I’ve had the privilege of being a guest speaker at Berklee College of Music for their Global Connections talk.


I spent years trying to figure out how to teach melodic improv in a way that actually works. I tested ideas, scrapped them, rewrote everything, and tested again, until I finally came up with a structure that made sense.

Then I spent half a year building the Solo School platform, realized it wasn't perfect, and spent another 5 months re-building it.

I listened to every piece of feedback from the early students, made changes, adjusted the pacing, added new content, and kept improving the system—week after week.

I never imagined Solo School would become what it is today. The community is absolutely incredible. The support, the feedback, the passion.

But best of all, the system actually works, and I'm sure it'll work for you as well.

It's been 1.5 years in the making, and I'm excited to finally let more students experience it.

I look forward to meeting you inside.

"After 30 years of playing guitar, I finally found a way that works: Solo School"

"After 30 years playing guitar and scraped all the information on 1000’s of Youtube sites, I now finally found a way that, yes!, works: Solo School!

The way Roy Ziv explains the ‘Whole Solo Idea Problem’ with an unique, well thought out structure, in easy little steps and supported with clear examples and visuals on the screen is invaluable.

As he states “all the little puzzle pieces we’ve learned here and there have no connection with each other, thus it’s hard to recall it from memory on the spot”. Ex-act-ly what was happening when I had to improvise on the spot.

Roy’s system connects all those puzzle pieces to a standard fundament, The Soloing Framework, and with that idea it become extensions of what we already know. That’s working! Build and extend on what I know in 30 years playing, my solos become much more melodic, better phrased, more speed and more professional.

With other courses, you get the videos and have to practice. But nobody tells you if you’re doing it good, where you can improve or where your weak points are.

Roy gives live feedback on every video we upload after the exercise and points out the weak points and what can be improved. Personal, for every student he zooms in at level of the  student.

I mean we can find millions of Youtube videos which explain thousand licks to play in every form.

But there’s not a single one who shapes me on the spot! during the progress and shows me where I can improve or point out the pitfalls we all (can) make.

I stopped scraping Youtube. Solo School keeps me motivated and I see the progress week by week. Better than any Netflix series ;)

Besides the lessons there’s a great valuable community inside Solo School where the students talk about guitars and music, give each other tips and motivation on the video’s. I like to talk ‘all day’ with fellow guitarists, for me that’s much more interesting than the known Social Media.

And periodically we have a Zoom call with Roy. That’s like an “Open Office Hour” We come to hangout, ask direct questions, also questions outside the Solo School framework, to Roy which gives clear and great explanations and live examples.

If that’s not enough. You have free access to ALL the courses he released and will release if you want to deep dive in a certain subject.

And let’s be clear. How many times you get the chance to get semi 1on1 lessons and hangout with a guitarist of the level of Roy?

Add to that the service and personal touch of Roy and you get why I cannot recommend Solo School enough!."

"I feel like Roy is MY guitar teacher"

"Roy's Solo School is a really great place to study guitar. Roy clearly cares about his students, and he is a fantastic teacher with an excellent ear to immediately pick out weaknesses in your playing.


His advice has really helped me build better soloing technique. Solo School not only has a wealth of practice videos and courses, but also nice tools to upload media files and videos for Roy to review and comment on.

It also has a growing community of students, who are happy to talk about their playing technique as well as guitars, gear, and even recent events they've attended.

Perhaps most importantly, in Solo School, I feel like Roy is my guitar teacher. I can ask questions, get advice, and learn from one of the most impressive guitarists in the world."

- Eddy H.

"you will absolutely find your place here."

"My first encounter with Roy Ziv was through his online course Guitar Modes Navigator—a brilliantly structured, highly engaging journey through the modes that made music theory finally feel intuitive and fun. So when the opportunity to join the new edition of Solo School came up, it was an absolute no-brainer. And after two months in, I can confidently say three things:

First, Roy Ziv himself.
Yes, he's an exceptional guitar player—but what truly stands out is his dedication to your growth. This course isn’t about showcasing his skills; it’s about elevating yours. Roy takes the time to answer student questions in live Zoom calls every two weeks (which often go past 90 minutes!), and he provides thoughtful, honest feedback on every solo submission. It’s not sugar-coated—it’s real, constructive, and always aimed at helping you move forward.

Second, the community.
Thanks to Roy’s leadership and genuine spirit, the community around Solo School is one of the most positive and supportive I’ve ever seen. Students share their solos freely, knowing they’ll be met with encouragement, respectful feedback, and a focus on growth. It’s a safe space to learn, try, and improve.

Third, the course itself.
Whether you’re learning to improvise, trying to level up your phrasing, or want to write more intentional, structured solos—you will absolutely find your place here. You'll dive into the world of phrasing (learning to speak through your instrument using musical “sentences”) and chord tones (to add meaning and emotion to your ideas). It’s a practical, empowering path for any guitarist looking to become a better soloist.

Enough said—give it a shot! Hope to see you in the next round. I’ll definitely still be a student in August :)."

Frequently Asked Questions

If your questions aren't answered here, please email [email protected]

Who is this for?

Guitarists who already know their shapes, scales, licks, and some theory - but still feel stuck when improvising. If you’ve taken courses, watched tutorials, and still can’t solo the way you want to sound, this is for you.

When are the Zoom calls?

Twice a month. Every other Thursday at 5pm EST.

But don’t worry if you can’t make it. Replays are posted in Solo School, and you can always send in your questions ahead of time for me to answer on the call.

I live in a different time zone. Will I miss out on all your weekly lessons?

The Zoom Calls are not the structured lessons. They’re more like open office hours.

Students hop on, ask questions, and I answer / demonstrate.

Sometimes it turns into a spontaneous lesson. Other times I answer 5–10 questions back to back.

But you don’t need to attend live at all. All the calls are recorded, and most students watch the replay on their own time.

The actual structured lessons are part of the weekly Guided Challenges.

You can go through them anytime you want, on your own schedule. Some students might be on challenge 1, some might be on challenge 5. You’ll never “miss” a lesson, and you don’t need to be online at any specific time to follow along. If you want me to answer something for you on a call, you can just send in your question beforehand and watch the reply later.

Plus, you can post a solo or ask for feedback any time inside the community.

Solo School was built to work no matter where you are or what your schedule looks like. No one is behind, late, or missing anything inside Solo School.

I already own most of your courses. Is this still worth it?

Yes, and you're not alone.

The majority of members in Solo School already bought at least one of my courses in the past.

That’s actually why I built this version of Solo School.

Because going through a course is one thing, but turning it into actual melodic playing takes structure, practice, feedback, and guidance.

Solo School gives you that.

You’ll still get access to all my courses inside the platform (even the new ones). But the core of Solo School is the system, the weekly challenges, and access to me and my trained coaches when you get stuck.

Solo School complements the courses.

Is this only for shredders or advanced players?

No. It’s not a speed program.

The goal is to help you sound more melodic, more expressive, and more intentional when you solo — regardless of speed.

-You’ll be focusing on things like:

-Phrasing

-Chord tone targeting

-Rhythmic structures / space

-And building solos that feel musical and that you actually enjoy hearing back.

That said, if you do want to work on speed or technique, I’m always happy to help - and HAVE helped many Solo School students. I can 100% help you get faster and shred, but this is not a shred program. (and you also have free access to my Speed Builder course)

What if I can’t start right away? And what If I have to travel mid way through the program?

Also fine. The program is self-paced. You can catch up at anytime. Everyone is on a different schedule.

You won’t fall behind, and you won't miss anything.

Am I too beginner?

Solo School is best for players who already know scales, shapes, chords, licks, basic theory, and can play some basic solos.

You should definitely know how to move around the Pentatonic scale, box 1.

If you’ve been playing for a few years, know some scales, and can improvise a bit (but don’t love how you sound),

you’re probably a perfect fit.

Students in solo school have been playing between 3 years and 40+ years.

I don’t recommend this program for anyone playing less than 2 years.

How long is the membership?

You can join quarterly (every 3 months) or annually (save almost $200). About 30% of the current Solo School students are on Annual plans, but 3 Months is enough time to see real transformation without a full year commitment.

If you're on the 3 month plan, you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle in your own dashboard.

With a 3 month plan, you get charged every 3 months until you cancel.

With a yearly plan, you get charged once every year, until you cancel.

Is this beginner friendly?

Not really. Solo School is designed for a player who already knows basic scales, chords, and theory. It’s not for total beginners.

If you've been playing less than 2 years, this program is not for you.

If you can play the Pentatonic scale very well, a few licks, maybe another scale or two, and you know how to bend, then you'll do fine in this program.

Is this a one-time payment, or a monthly membership?

It's an ongoing membership. If you choose quarterly (every 3 months) you'll be charged every 3 months until you cancel. You can cancel on your own in your dashboard.

If you join the Annual plan, you'll be charged once every year, until you cancel.

There are no commitments or contracts. You can cancel anytime you want before your next billing cycle.

What makes this different from other courses or memberships?

Most programs throw a mountain of content at you and leave you to figure it out. Solo School gives you clear structure, live guidance, a powerful system that actually works, and a incredibly supportive community to go through it with. It’s about internalizing the skill of improvisation, not just collecting more info.

As far as I know, no program like this exists, and the few students who have already gone through my new system have all said they've never seen anything like it.

It took me YEARS to figure out HOW to teach improvisation, and it took me almost a year to figure out how to implement it into a system that is easy to follow.

It's also the only place where I talk about, teach, and demonstrate my exact phrasing methods. All the little tricks and frameworks I use to solo and improvise are all taught in Solo School.

These are ideas i've never shared in any of my other courses, or interviews, or random lessons online.

I don't hold anything back in Solo School.

You can literally ask me any questions you want.

A few students have told me that the only reason they stay subscribed, is because they can ask me questions.

How long do I need to stay in the program to see results?

Most players start hearing real improvement in their solos within 4 weeks, but the full transformation usually happens over a 3-month period. That’s why Solo School is set up as a quarterly membership. So you can actually go deep, build muscle memory, and internalize the system instead of rushing through it.

You can cancel anytime after three months, but most of the current students in Solo School have been members for an average of 8 months.

What if I’m already in another course?

This won’t compete. It’ll enhance everything else. It’s not about learning more in Solo School, it’s about applying what you already know through structure and real practice.

What if I don’t have time right now?

The system is designed for busy guitarists. Whenever you have a few minutes to practice, you turn on the system, and follow along.

You don't need to think, you just follow, and all the practice and muscle building and technique and automation will happen in real time.

If you need to take a month or two off, you won't miss out on anything. You can always re-start where you left off.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, you can always cancel your membership by clicking "cancel" inside your dashboard. It's very easy.

If you're on the quarterly plan, you can cancel anytime before your next billing cycle (3 months from now) and if you're on the annual plan, you can cancel anytime before the year ends.

If you don't cancel, then you'll be charged again automatically.

"The feedback I get is on point and always has a positive vibe."

"Solo School challenges me to spend time and get creative within given boundaries. Learning scales and developing my own licks go hand in hand with improving my solo and improvisation skills. The feedback i get is on point and always has a positive vibe!."
