Little Pain. Less Theory. Fast Progress.

There is so much more to playing guitar than learning scales. After a break from playing, I came back to it and found myself lacking passion in learning the traditional way. I needed to find a better balance between the mechanics of playing and the passion for the art of playing. That's when I developed the 5-T Method.

Hi, I’m Mark Z!

If you share my passion for the guitar's golden era, spanning 1965-1985, when guitar heroes ruled the stage with mesmerizing riffs and improvisation, you'll fit right in at Mark Z's Guitar School! My focus mainly centers on rock, blues, and R&B, and my love for all things guitar has fostered a vibrant community of musicians.

Seeing dozens of frustrated guitar players struggle to improve, I crafted the 5-T System: focusing on timing, tone, technique, theory, and tunes, and implemented this into my teaching style, courses and membership.

Students that have adoped this method have been able to play great rhythm, impactful solos and even improvise confidently. You too can love playing the guitar again because it will be about you making the music that you love.


Whether you're just starting out, reigniting your passion for playing or have a deep appreciation for 1965-1985 guitar, there is something here for everyone!
