Building on last week’s Autumn Leaves study, this lesson adds longer phrases and scale-based ideas to connect arpeggios fluidly. We’ll explore subtle harmonic shifts using G major and E minor to shape more lyrical, expressive lines.
This lesson reconnects major triads to their surrounding scale tones using E, C, and A shapes—with a bonus look at the G shape for diagonal movement. You’ll strengthen alternate picking, reinforce fretboard fluency, and train your ear to hear harmony and melody as one.
This workout builds mastery of major, minor, and diminished triads by connecting them into full chord scales along the neck. Through shape transitions and melodic drills, you’ll strengthen fretboard awareness and sharpen your ear for harmonic movement.
This routine expands triad practice into real harmonic and modal territory, using lowered roots and raised 5ths to imply 7th chords. By mapping triads to modes, you’ll start hearing deeper musical possibilities hidden inside familiar shapes.
This week’s routine puts the spotlight on Dorian, using triads and arpeggios to uncover the mode’s true sound—not just its shape. By targeting the 6th and blending it with minor harmony, you’ll train your ear to hear what makes Dorian feel distinct and musical.
This workout turns last week’s Dorian theory into real musical vocabulary through targeted lick practice. You’ll explore both pentatonic add9 and full Dorian licks across five positions, then connect it all with full-neck phrases to unlock the entire fretboard.
This session delivers 10 fresh, full-neck 16th-note phrases designed to push your melodic creativity. Rather than memorizing licks, the focus is on understanding how to build your own lines and break new ground.
This week’s routine introduces the moody, exotic sound of Phrygian through arpeggios, triads, and targeted color tones. You’ll expand your modal fluency by contrasting it with Dorian and internalizing its signature b2 and b6.
This lesson explores the darker color of Phrygian through original licks, with a progression designed to spotlight its b2 and b6 tones. Use the backing track to train your ear, compare the sound to Dorian, and start crafting lines that truly embody this mysterious mode.
This lesson puts theory into motion by blending Dorian and Phrygian sounds over a custom progression. With 8 original licks and a vibey backing track, you’ll explore how subtle shifts in color tones can open up fresh melodic territory—then craft your own to make it personal.
