Guitar lesson roundup
New guitar lesson content popped up this weekend: Mike Campese posted a Patreon lesson focused on thumb‑chord voicings and bending for control in rhythm and lead. (x.com). Separately, Dave Weckl’s online school ran a two‑hour live stream that’s now replayable alongside 70+ hours of lessons and play‑alongs, and Humble Bundle is offering 'Guitar Theory For Dummies (2nd Ed.)' in a charity bundle covering chords, keys and scales practice.

A weekend burst of guitar education landed across three corners of the internet: a paid Mike Campese lesson, a replayable Dave Weckl school stream, and a Humble Bundle theory sale. (patreon.com, daveweckl.teachable.com, humblebundle.com) Mike Campese’s Patreon launched on February 11, 2026, promising exclusive “Quick Pick” exercises, “Deep Dive” lessons, and behind-the-scenes studio and tour material for subscribers. His Patreon page says he teaches advanced technique, shred, and professional guitar performance. (patreon.com, patreon.com) Campese’s broader Patreon pitch says new content is added weekly and includes lessons not posted elsewhere, along with rare archive material and space for member questions. That puts the new thumb-chord and bending lesson inside a subscription model built around regular updates rather than one-off uploads. (mikecampese.com, patreon.com) Dave Weckl’s online school says it now includes more than 70 hours of lessons and play-alongs, with downloadable charts and minus-one tracks for practice. The school also says members get a private Facebook group and occasional live webinars with Weckl. (daveweckl.teachable.com) Weckl is a drummer, not a guitarist, but his school packages the same kind of skills training many guitar platforms now sell: long-form video, live access, and play-along material. The curriculum lists setup, tuning, hand development, foot development, groove, swing, and solo construction among its core courses. (daveweckl.teachable.com, daveweckl.com) Humble Bundle’s current Wiley music bundle includes *Guitar Theory For Dummies with Online Practice, 2nd Edition* as part of an 18-item package priced at $25 for the full tier on the page now live. The bundle page says the book covers alternate chord shapes, chord progressions by key, and turning scales into riffs and solos. (humblebundle.com) Wiley lists that edition by Desi Serna as a 368-page book published in October 2021, with online practice material and sections on chords, keys, scales, intervals, extensions, and modes. The publisher says it is aimed at players moving beyond open chords, barre chords, and simple progressions. (wiley.com) Taken together, the weekend’s releases map three lanes of online music learning in April 2026: creator subscriptions, school-style video libraries, and discounted book bundles. For players shopping for lessons, the split is less about one platform replacing another than about where they want to practice next. (patreon.com, daveweckl.teachable.com, humblebundle.com)
