Dear Creative Cellist,

If you want to unlock a brand new epic level of improvisation and jamming that will leave you (and everyone else) speechless…

That makes your favorite musicians literally DEMAND that you jam with them…

Then this will be the most important membership and curriculum you’ll ever join.

Here’s why:

My name is Daniel Delaney and ten short years ago I was completely lost.

I had just kicked my classical music career to the curb and was starting from scratch, sitting around and making up rhythms, alone, in my tiny studio apartment…

With no more than 2 tunes in my head and a backseat full of sheet music for J.S. Bach and Popper etudes.

I was desperately searching for answers and practically begging people just to play with me.

Mostly, people were nice but didn’t want anything to do with the “classical guy” who couldn’t hang.

I would wake up early every morning before the sun rose, and practice aimlessly for hours with nothing to show for it.

I did this six days a week, for months on end.

Grinding it out and “hustling”.

Then one, I came up with a “crazy idea".

That allowed me to take my square tunes and backups and supercharge them.

So instead of wandering through my practice like a lost toddler in a grocery store…

I could craft a cello session that would transform me into a tune-gobbling, chord smashing jam-beast.

Everyone thought I was a fool, and that I was ruining my technique and musicianship.

An old orchestra buddy even called me a “dreamer”.

But I couldn’t care less…

Because I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

So after a lot of late nights, early mornings, and a ton of trial and error…

I finally discovered a “secret system”.

And everything changed for me.

Instead of playing alone and wondering what I should be practicing…

I had more tunes and jam invites that I could possibly handle!

And I used this “secret system” to quickly catapult me into deeper grooves, joyful jam sessions with new friends, a huge tune list…

and more delight in music making than I had experienced in YEARS.

But it’s not just me!

I’ve also deployed this system in every major genre of modern and traditional western music…

To transform music making for me and hundreds of my students…

And listen, a part of this system’s success is that it maps ANYTHING. Any genre. Any style. Any groove.

I’ve used this secret system to…

  • connect my ears to my hands and demystify the cello fingerboard

  • crack the code on every rhythmic groove and feel

  • improvise chord progressions for tunes I didn’t know

  • create group cello backups for fiddle orchestra

  • comp chords for jazz standards in any key

  • shred improv solos in bluegrass, blues, jazz, rock, and hiphop

  • learn tunes faster, from every genre and style

  • transform a frustrated band member into a “chord keeper” and band leader in a few months

  • unlock “tune backups” for a jam attender so she could really play at her local jam session (with fiddle players screaming on all sides)

  • explode tune learning, from slow trickle to hungry-hungry-hippo, for hundreds of students

And so on… look, I could easily fill an entire book with success stories like this…

Because I’ve used this system with all of my students for the last ten years!

Creative cellists, all the way up to your favorite touring and recording artists, have some sort of system they use to…

Unlock epic new levels of jamming and improvisation at the cello…

I knew this was different, but I wasn’t exactly sure how in the beginning.

But then I began to look more closely at why it was so effective…

And I noticed there were themes that emerged.

I began to reverse-engineer the strategies, repeat and refine those into a “complete system”.

And I confirmed over and over again.

That the results for my students were better than anything else people were doing in traditional classical lessons!

And since then, I’ve deployed it in pretty much every genre in western music…

  • Celtic (Irish, Scottish, Cape Breton)

  • American traditional (Old-Time, Bluegrass, Swing)

  • Jazz and blues (swing, Afro-cuban, funk)

  • Musical theatre

  • Indie-folk, singer-songwriter

  • Pop, hip-hop

  • Rock, metal, alternative

  • am I missing anything…?

And it simply just works in every single genre you apply it in.

This isn’t some far out, esoteric mysticism or metaphysics of music theory.

This is street-tested, concrete system that is working right now.

To play pretty much ANYTHING.

You see, I’ve learned everything I know now from hard-core, no-BS, DIY, in-the-trenches experience.

And that’s one of the reasons I’m paying it forward to creative cellists like you.

So you don’t have wander aimlessly in the desert like I did.

The sleepless nights.

Years of trial and error.

And look, I know you’re skeptical.

The internet is littered with phony gurus.

Who sell you nothing more than empty promises.

So I don’t expect you to blindly take my word…

See why everyone else is experience crazy growth and raving about this system.

And for the last three years, I’ve been developing this “secret system” into the first ever complete curriculum for creative cellists.

Now for the first time you can
