All three vaults — included in your TGL membership
James has spent years creating free guitar lessons on YouTube — blues licks, rock techniques, theory deep-dives, and practice tips — that have been watched millions of times.
The YouTube Vault takes his most popular lessons and pairs them with full downloadable tab worksheets, Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks so you can study and practise properly — everything organized in one place.
Three vaults. Three areas of playing. All included with your TGL membership — no extra charge, no separate purchase.
The Vaults
Each vault is a standalone collection. Browse them all — or dive straight into the one you need most.

Rhythm Guitar

Tab & GP Files
What's in this vault
The "fix what's broken" vault — packed with the practice tips, technique corrections, and theory shortcuts that most players never get taught properly.
What's Inside
Every vault in the collection comes with the same premium package of resources.
The Full Learning Package
The same great YouTube lessons — now with everything you need to actually learn them. Tab worksheets, Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks included with every lesson.
Downloadable Tab Worksheets
Every lesson comes with a PDF tab worksheet. Print it, write on it, keep it. Study the licks and patterns away from the screen.
Guitar Pro Files
Download the Guitar Pro file for each lesson. Play along at any tempo, loop tricky sections, and see the notation and tab simultaneously.
Organised by Topic
Each vault is grouped into clear topic sections — find exactly what you need without scrolling through hundreds of YouTube videos.
All Three Vaults Included
Blues, rock, and technique — all three vault collections come with a single TGL membership. No picking and choosing.
Plus 25+ Other Courses
The Vaults are just the start. Your membership unlocks 25+ full courses — improvisation, pentatonic mastery, theory, lick labs, and much more.
100+ Vault Lessons. 25+ Full Courses. One Membership.
The YouTube Vault alone would take most players months to work through. And that's just the beginning — your TGL membership also unlocks full courses on blues, pentatonic mastery, improvisation, rock licks, music theory, and much more. Go yearly and save $41.

James Shipway
Guitarist, Teacher & Author
I've been teaching guitar online for over a decade. The lessons in these vaults started life as YouTube videos that players kept coming back to — because they tackle the real problems guitarists face, not just the theoretical stuff.
The vault format was born because I kept hearing the same thing: "I love your YouTube videos but I want the tabs, I want Guitar Pro files, I want everything in one organised place."
That's exactly what this is. Every lesson tabbed out, every lick in Guitar Pro, backing tracks included — everything organised so you can actually learn from it, not just watch it once and forget it.

Are these the same as the YouTube videos?
Yes — the Vault videos are the same lessons you'll find on YouTube. What's different is that they come with downloadable tab worksheets, Guitar Pro files, and backing tracks so you can study and practice along more effectively. Everything organized and in one place, so you don't have to hunt through YouTube.
Do I need Guitar Pro to use the files?
Guitar Pro is recommended as it lets you play along at any tempo and loop sections. There's a free alternative called MuseScore that can open Guitar Pro files. The PDF tab worksheets work standalone and don't require any software.
What level are these lessons aimed at?
The Vaults cover a range of levels — each collection has beginner-friendly lessons as well as more advanced material. The Blues Vault and Scales/Technique Vault are especially good for intermediate players. The Rock Vault covers beginner through advanced.
Do I get all three vaults with my membership?
Yes — all three YouTube Vaults (Blues, Rock & Metal, and Scales/Chords/Tips) are included with a single TGL membership alongside 25+ other full courses. There's nothing to choose between.
Can I cancel after the free trial?
On the Monthly and Annual plans, yes — cancel anytime during the 30-day trial and you won't be charged a thing. If you cancel after that, your access continues until the renewal date. No penalties, no questions asked. The 6-Month plan is a one-time $109 payment with no trial and no auto-renewal, so there's nothing to cancel — you simply get instant full access for the 6-month period.
