MASTER THE FRETBOARD

About The Program
 

MASTER THE FRETBOARD program provides a thorough, structured setting to build solid foundations for your musical journey.

​

You will learn the 7 fundamental scales in an experiential, musical context - combining fretboard memorization, technique & improvisation practices.

In addition to the hands-on practices, the program includes extra content to help you build the connection between the theory and the actual application - using real song examples.

​

THE PROGRAM IS TWO-SIDED & DYNAMIC!

​

At the beginning of each month, Shai shares an overview video, explaining the month's content and goals, followed by a set of 4 incremental practices.

​​​

The participants share their practice videos and questions via the interactive Shai Guitar Video App - and receive direct response, feedback & practice modifications from Shai.

​

Once a month Shai hosts a live Masterclass - where the program's participants can share their questions and challenges.

​

Shai adjusts and adds content to the program based on the input and progress of the participants.

​
