Finbar and the PGA Plus community has helped me progress from the house to open mics and senior living centre gigs. Have a chat with Finbar, he's a decent chap... Hopefully see you on a call soon. AtB
This community has been such an unexpected joy.
This community has been such an unexpected joy. Lead by Finbar’s warmth, enthusiasm and talent the community is hugely supportive and inspiring. It has motivated me to perform at a couple of local mic nights and find a passion for music again. I can’t thank Finbar enough!
An awesome community for aspiring solo artists at any skill level
I hadn't seen anything like this community and it was exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for a pathway and/or mentorship to performing solo gigs and Pro Gig Academy (Plus) is perfect. Weekly song challenges, online open mics, constructive, positive feedback, instructional videos and much more. So much bang for your buck! Thanks Finbar for creating and facilitating such a awesome community. The world is better for it, especially during these times.

You'd save $2473.00 per month vs. 4 hours/week of coaching
At 4 hours per week, Pro Gig Academy (Plus) costs $7.22 per hour. A comparable online course costs $25.00/hr, a 1-on-1 coach costs $150.00/hr, and a mastermind group costs $25.00/hr. The annual cost is $1500.00, a fraction of what a single coaching session would cost.
I keep this space ego-free and supportive. We're all here to get better, not to show off. I give honest feedback daily because that's how you improve fast. The vibe is more like a practice room with friends than a competition. Everyone uploads their covers and gets real feedback, including from me personally.
Finbar Horgan quit his 9-5 job and now gigs 7 nights a week. He says it's not because he's an amazing guitarist or singer, but because he developed a system. He's helped over 100 guitarists and singers reach their solo acoustic goals using this same approach.

All live sessions are recorded and archived, so you can watch anytime. The 4+ weekly calls happen at different times to accommodate various time zones.
No. The system works for basic chord players. It's more about having a system than being an amazing musician.

I've been part of this group since March and have grown as a player and singer. (With a long and anticipated way to go.) It has also done wonders for my confidence. I love being part of PGA+. Thank you, Finbar. Keep up the good work!
Finbar's got a great ear. He has straightened me out on so many songs. If you're trying to level up, this is the coaching you need. Don't take my opinion. Finbar's got a huge group of followers for a reason.
I strongly recommend Pro Gig Academy (Plus). I used to play my guitar and attempt to sing like the original artists, which was rarely successful. Finbar has shown us how to adjust the keys and chord shapes to get songs in the right vocal range in order to, ostensibly, be able to sing for a 3-hour gig. Just as importantly he has shown us how develop set lists that crowds enjoy. The entire community is supportive, creative, and on the road to getting gigs.
Quick feedback to songs, and great forum for sharing ideas, experience or even rants! A really friendly bunch of people, happy to encourage and advise...
I have been getting a lot out PGC. I find it to be a great value. It is amazing what can happen with a little help. I think it is one of the best things I have done for myself in years.
Pro Gig Academy (Plus) is a community on Skool with 34 verified member reviews and a 5.0/5 rating.
