Why You're Still Struggling

Have you ever sat down to practice and felt like your fingers just won’t cooperate?
You’re practicing. You’re watching tutorials. You’re learning songs. But somehow… it still feels hard.

Here’s the truth: You’re not the problem. Your technique is.

You’ve been shown what to play—but never how to move. That’s why your hands cramp, your progress stalls, and even simple songs feel hard.

Without natural movement, every song is a struggle.

Fox Guitar Academy fixes this at the root.

The Problem With Most Guitar Lessons Online

Most YouTube lessons teach what to play, but not how to play it efficiently.
Apps give you song libraries and practice timers.
But if your hand tenses up every time you try to play… All that knowledge won’t help you actually sound good. Most learners don’t hit walls because they lack practice or passion.
They hit walls because their technique is built on tension and guesswork.
You can’t express yourself if your body is fighting the guitar.
Without learning movement, every hour of practice risks reinforcing bad habits. That’s why so many players plateau—sometimes for years.
Fox Guitar Academy fills this gap with a focus on natural movement and technique.

Does This Describe Your Guitar Struggle?

It’s not your fault. You were never shown how movement works on guitar.
That’s what this course is built to solve.

🎯 What Makes Fox Guitar Academy Different?

you don’t need another song library or list of tricks,
You need a better system

You won’t just learn songs — you’ll learn how to move like a real guitarist.

🎯 Isolate

Practice the technique with targeted exercises. Using the Soundslice platform, you’ll have access to multi-angle videos, slow-motion, and looping options.

🎼 Integrate

You’ll play a beautiful original piece designed to reinforce that exact movement—so it sticks musically, not mechanically.

Hi, I’m Václav — guitarist, teacher, and the creator of Fox Guitar Academy. After years of watching passionate players get stuck, I realized the problem wasn’t their dedication—it was that no one ever taught them how to move.

This course is my answer to that. It’s designed to help you let go of tension, stop second-guessing your technique, and finally enjoy playing guitar with clarity and confidence.

When I’m not performing, teaching, or writing music, you’ll find me hiking in the mountains, paddling down a river, or reading Musashibecause I secretly wish I were a samurai. :)

This course is perfect for intermediate and advanced players looking to refine their technique. We begin with the fundamentals to build a solid, tension-free foundation, then move into intermediate techniques and eventually dive into more advanced topics like barre technique, speed, hammer-ons, pull-offs, tremolo, and much more. Along the way, you’ll learn to release tension, break through technical limitations, and develop a fluid, expressive technique that truly elevates your playing.

Even just 10 minutes a day can lead to noticeable progress. You can adapt the daily warm-ups and exercises to fit your schedule.

The course focuses on fingerstyle fundamentals and natural hand movements that work for both nylon-string and steel-string guitars. Use whichever instrument you feel most comfortable with.

It’s completely self-paced. You can work through the lessons at your own speed and revisit them whenever you need a refresher.

Don’t worry! Each lesson includes exercises and detailed explanations to help you understand and practice techniques at your own pace. If you’re enrolled in Tier 2 or Tier 3, you can submit a video for feedback or get help during live Q&A sessions to ensure you’re on track.
