This lesson blends rhythmic precision with functional harmony, using triads and real-world groove applications to lock into 16th-note time. By the end, you’ll be able to comp through an entire tune with feel, form, and tasteful voicings.
This routine explores how to blend major and minor pentatonic vocabulary to create expressive, bluesy lines with rich tonal contrast. You’ll move through both familiar and fresh territory, developing phrasing that lives comfortably across both sounds.
This solo study channels Ace Frehley’s lead from Love Gun to sharpen your alternate picking and pentatonic fluency. You’ll work across all five shapes while developing speed, control, and real-world musicality.
This routine hones your string bending technique across all five pentatonic positions, targeting key scale tones with control and expression. You’ll develop phrasing that mimics slide guitar while exploring musical movement through multiple shapes.
This lesson builds your arpeggio fluency by drilling all four core 7th chord types using A shape fingerings. You’ll learn to visualize, connect, and fragment arpeggios across string sets and within diatonic progressions.
Time to shift gears and bring your E shape arpeggios into focus. By isolating string groups and navigating diatonic progressions, you’ll train your hands and ears to speak the language of harmony with clarity.
The C shape takes center stage this week as we round out the core arpeggio positions with a focus on D major. By isolating string sets and connecting all four chord types, you’ll unlock a less familiar part of the neck and deepen your fretboard fluency.
This week’s focus is on mapping all seven diatonic arpeggios within the E shape of G major, locking into one position for deeper interval understanding. As the routine progresses, you’ll flow between arpeggios, scale tones, and faster transitions to build fretboard fluency and harmonic clarity.
This session explores major 6 arpeggios as melodic substitutes for major 7 shapes, revealing new sounds within familiar fingerings. By working through shape-based transformations and ii–V–I licks, you’ll deepen your ear and expand your improvisational palette.
This week transforms arpeggio shapes into real music using the A section of Autumn Leaves as a guide. You’ll learn to shape melodic phrases from chord tones and develop creative fluency over a classic progression.
