New fretboard confidence
I have been using Levi's practice routines for some time now. It has given me a new way to look at the fretboard, giving me more confidence when improvising.

1 lesson · Theory
How the minor scale sounds
Levi compares C major to C minor note by note, so you hear the three notes that change. You sing the scale before you play it.
- 02
Routines 1-3 · Main shapes
E, C and A shapes
The three shapes most players use, all in A minor. Each routine runs the scale, two sequences and a pattern of thirds.
- 03
Routines 4-5 · Full neck
G and D shapes
The last two shapes, so the scale covers the whole neck. Same four exercises, so all your focus goes to the fingering.
- 04
Routines 6-7 · Color
Mastering color in A and C
One melody built on the minor pentatonic plus two color notes. You play it in seven places on the neck, then again in a new key.
- 05
Routine 8 · Transitions
Full neck transitions
Five phrases that shift shapes as they run down the neck, ending with a Paul Gilbert style sequence on the top two strings.
- 06
Routine 9 · Licks
C minor licks
Four melodic rock licks over a slow C minor groove, with bends, slides and a flashy run inspired by Marty Friedman.
- 07
Routines 10-11 · 4 keys
4 keys, levels 1 and 2
A, C, E flat and F sharp minor, three frets apart. First you find each key in one spot, then you run lines that land on the next key.
- 08
Routine 12 · Improvisation
Levi's improvised solo
A one-take solo over a C minor progression, written out so you can play along and borrow the phrases you like.

What guitarists say about Guided Practice Routines
From guitarists working through Levi's guided routines every week.
Dave HausnerOregon, USA · GPR memberComplex concepts made simple
He breaks down complex concepts in rhythm, melody and harmony into simple, clear lessons, making it easy to see how musicians find their sound.
Stephen LaffertyBelgium · GPR memberIncredible value and insight
Leave no stone unturned is a fitting expression to describe Levi's teaching. His own playing is both motivating and inspirational, and it's a real bargain for the price.
Chris MullinVermont, USA · GPR memberConnecting theory to play
As a guitarist of over 30 years, I've always struggled to connect theory and technique. Since starting Levi's guided practice routines, I'm now making real progress translating my musical ideas to the fretboard.
Kevin BlandingConnecticut, USA · GPR memberReignited my passion
GPR didn't just fine-tune my technique, it flipped my entire approach, helping me unlearn bad habits and explore new genres. In months, my picking and timing improved, and my passion for practice came back.
Jimmy Kane AlfordEngland · GPR memberEfficient, immersive practice
Levi's guided practice routines are an efficient and immersive way to practice. The short, focused sessions with Guitar Pro files and backing tracks make it easy to improve your timing and phrasing.

Common questions
Before you start
Who is this course for?
Beginners who know a few chords and the minor pentatonic, up to intermediate players who want the scale all over the neck. Levi recommends his major scale course first, because he teaches minor by comparing the two.
How much theory do I need?
Very little. One short lesson covers it, and Levi names the notes by number (1, 2, flat 3 and so on), so everything works in any key.
Do I need to read music?
No. Every routine is on video with tab, and you get Guitar Pro and PDF files plus the backing tracks to download.
How long are the routines?
The shape routines take about 4 minutes each. The later ones run longer, up to about 10 minutes for the second 4 keys routine.
What are the access and refund terms?
Buy the course once and it's yours for life, with Guitar Pro and PDF tab and backing tracks to download. You're covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee: email us within 14 days and you get a full refund.
