THE ROBBEN FORD
GUITAR DOJO
Iβve spent my entire career travelling the globe playing music. Now Iβm inviting you to MY place where Iβll be sharing my knowledge of music, guitars, playing and hanging with you.
βa dojo is a place of immersive learning where Teacher and student come together to practice and develop the studentβs skills.
The term literally means βplace of the way.β
~ Robben Ford
THE DOJO
HOW IT WORKS:
THREE MEMBERSHIP LEVELS
We are so glad you found the Dojo! Since youβve found us, maybe you're one of us...
All of our Dojo students have one thing in common: from beginner to advanced, they join the Dojo because of their love of the guitar, and have a true desire to express themselves more fully on the instrument.
The Dojo is designed to meet you where you are in your playing and allow you to work at your own pace to expand your abilities. Robben offers you a personalized music education for the monthly cost of a fast food lunch.

Dojo Slogan: NOT AFRAID TO BE A FOOL
In order to learn more quickly, you need to stick your neck out. Sometimes you might feel foolish, but there is a lot of good energy there. A wisdom Robben likes to pass along, is to trust who you are and where you are NOW in your personal journey as a musician. There may always be somebody βbetterββ¦ but you really only need to concern yourself with YOUR best - expressing yourself on your instrument and enjoying it! (Robben really has a knack for being able to inspire.) βοΈ
