Master The Fretboard
Scales, Modes & Harmony
From Theory To Real Songs
Master The Fretboard is a a year long program, designed to introduce you to Scales & Modes using an engaging, systematic set of monthly practices.
The program is divided into 2 parts:
Foundations Series - Learning Scales In Isolation
Expansion Series - Applying Scales In Songs
Each part of the program includes 6 monthly courses.
Part 1 - Foundations
In the Foundations Series you will learn the sound & fretboard patterns of each scale in isolation.
This will help you familiarise yourself with the musical characteristics of the different scales, and build the basic techniques.
We will go through the 7 Modes Of The Major Scale - These are the "harmonic building blocks" of all western music.
Every month you will work on a specific Scale Etude, which includes 4 incremental exercises, composed specifically for the purpose of learning the scales in isolation.
You can choose which of the practices to use based on your current experience & technique level.

Part 2 - Expansion
The 2nd part of the program is where the fun & creativity begins!
It includes 6 Improvisation Practices courses. In each course we use a real song to demonstrate the scales within a musical context.
Each Improvisation Course includes a set of 4 pre-written exercises, and a Creative Practice where you integrate the elements you've been practicing, to create your own solo.
In the Expansion Series you will see how the songs are combined and used in real songs.
