8-Week Alternate Picking Intensive
Build clean, accurate alternate picking
If You Always Change
What You Practice,
The Practice Will Never
Change Your Playing.
A smaller group for guitarists who are tired of starting over.
You're not short on lessons. You're buried in them. Half-started YouTube videos. Advice that doesn't line up. A new technique every time the feed refreshes.
Practice Room Pro is a smaller space where you pick a few things to work on, follow the daily routine that comes with each one, and stay with it long enough to hear your playing get better.

The Real Problem
You're Not Stuck
You're Not Stuck
Because You're Lazy.
You're stuck because there's too much to practice, and nobody is telling you what to drop. There has never been more free guitar instruction out there. And somehow that has made it harder to get better, not easier.
01
Too Many Lessons. Too Many Voices.
Every channel teaches the same things in different ways. And every teacher sounds like they know what they're talking about. With no way to tell what's good from what isn't, every session starts with a choice you can't really make.
02
You Start Things You Never Finish.
A new video shows up and you switch to it. A new lick catches your ear and you switch again. Half-started lessons pile up. Nothing builds, because nothing got the time it needed to stick.
03
You Don't Practice Anything Enough.
Fifteen minutes here, fifteen minutes there, across five different things. That keeps things going. It doesn't make them better. If one technique is holding you back, it needs real time over weeks.
Choose The Bottleneck
One Clear Target
One Clear Target
Beats Ten Random Tabs.
Practice Room Pro is built around focused blocks. Pick the thing that's actually holding you back. Work on it long enough for the skill to change. Then move to the next target with better hands and better ears.
01
Expose The Problem
Slow it down until you can hear exactly which transition, string change, or accent breaks first. The thing you've been working around for years is usually one specific motion, not the whole technique.
02
Train The Motion
Build the movement with transition-time practice, small loops, and tempo targets that don't let slop survive. This is the work Virtuoso Lab and Technique Lab are built for.
03
Make It Transfer
Move the mechanic into sequences, phrases, and real musical contexts so it stops being an exercise and starts being something you can play.
Included With Pro
Your Practice Lab.
Your Practice Lab.
Built To Make You Stick.
The hardest part of practicing isn't technique. It's showing up every day. Practice Lab fixes that. Open the app and you're already in. The dashboard asks one question: what are we working on. Hit Start A Session, set the metronome, and the time you put in gets logged. When you want to go deeper, pick a Lab and work on the specific skill you're trying to fix. Either way, your streak and your hours add up. The work you put in actually shows up.
The Eight Labs
Eight Focused
Eight Focused
Practice Modes.
Each Lab works on one skill the right way. No filler. No busywork.
01
Virtuoso Lab
Technique built on how your hands actually learn. Most of the improvement happens during the short rests between reps. Virtuoso Lab builds your work in small groups of clean reps with rest built in. Hit fifteen clean reps at tempo and the BPM goes up.
02
Technique Lab
Remove your weak spots through massive repetition. Pick a lifetime rep goal for the move you want to own, like ten thousand clean reps of an alternate picking shape. Chip away at it, session by session.
03
Systematic Chops Lab
Train every two-string picking combination, one at a time. Systematic Chops walks you through every combination on the neck, so you build complete coverage instead of comfort zones.
04
Rhythm Lab
Master every rhythmic subdivision. Work through one rhythm at a time so eighth-note triplets, sixteenths, and the ones in between actually feel different to you. Not math you're doing in your head.
05
Ear Lab
Learn to play what you hear. A melody plays in a key. You find it on the fretboard. The link between your ear and your hands gets stronger every session, until you stop guessing and start hearing the lines you want to play.
06
Harmony Lab
Hear harmony by playing it. Voice-led triads moving through real progressions, so chord changes stop sounding like separate grips and start sounding like music going somewhere.
07
Fretboard Lab
See scales and arpeggios across the entire neck. Stop running the same shape in the same position. Build a complete map of where every note lives and how every shape connects.
08
Target Tone Lab
Stop skating over the changes. Anchor in a pentatonic shape, pick a chord tone to target, and the Lab walks you through the progression. Your lines start outlining the harmony instead of running scales over it.

Jon's student focus and detailed plans truly 10x my guitar progress in a very short time. I had been through a number of teachers before and found what was missing in all of them.
“
In less than two months working with Jon I've clarified concepts and doubts I've had for almost my entire life with the guitar. Truly, thank you.
“
The approach has been very systematic. Every rep and exercise has purpose and meaning. Highly recommended if you're serious about improving.

About Me
Jon Bjork
Practice Room Pro is the membership I wished I'd had when I was stuck.
I've been playing guitar since 1992 and studied at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, learning from musicians like Brett Garsed and T.J. Helmerich.
I started teaching full-time in 2001 and have worked with students at every level ever since. I've also spent years composing orchestral music, nearly 700 tracks for Epidemic Sound, heard on channels like MrBeast and Hot Ones.
My goal is simple: make the path to better playing as clear and direct as possible for every single member.
Common Questions
Before You Join.
You create an account and add your card. It takes under 3 minutes. You're not charged until exactly 7 days after sign-up. If you join Monday at noon, your first monthly charge happens Monday at noon the following week. Cancel any time before then and you pay nothing.
Yes, you can cancel any time from inside your Skool profile. No refunds on started months. You get a full 7 days to try Pro for free, so by the time you're paying, you already know what you're getting into.
Not yet. If you can play a pentatonic scale and read tab, you're ready. If you're earlier than that, build the basics first and come back when you can.
No. I've been playing for over 30 years and I still use my own courses in my daily practice. The materials and the Practice Lab are built to give you something real to dig into at whatever level you're at.
The live is recorded and posted in the classroom right after, so you can watch back any time. And the live isn't actually the main way to get questions answered. You can post a question or upload a clip in the community any day, and I respond directly with text or video. The live is more of a hangout where we talk practice, music, and whatever you bring in.
The free Practice Room is a great place to start. You get the community and occasional Q&A from me. Pro is where the full system lives. You get all 17 courses, the 8 Practice Labs (Pro-only), the weekly live with me on camera, and day-to-day access to me where I respond to your questions and clips directly.
Yes. Access to the courses and the Practice Lab is tied to your subscription. As long as you're a Pro member, all of it is yours. If you cancel, that access ends. The flip side is there are no individual course purchases stacking up. One subscription opens all of it.
