Swing picking takes center stage this week as we blend rhythmic articulation with dominant scale fluency and stacked 3rd patterns. Through double and triple 3rd exercises, we expand harmonic depth while building technical control across the fretboard.
Swing picking gets a deeper workout this week as we move through slurred articulations, scalar ideas, and arpeggios across multiple positions. By maintaining consistent picking motion and applying rhythmic nuance, we sharpen timing, phrasing, and fretboard control.
We dig into sweep picking fundamentals, from three-string downstrokes to directional changes, rhythmic shifts, and two-string speed bursts. By blending control, tone, and movement across chord shapes, we lay the groundwork for clean, musical sweep technique at any tempo.
We expand sweep picking technique with 3- and 5-string arpeggios, looping phrases, and rhythmic variations to build speed and control. By exploring clean and overdriven tones, we refine articulation, fluidity, and musical expression across ascending and descending patterns.
Economy picking meets melodic fluency in this session focused on three-note-per-string patterns, arpeggios, and wide-stretch pentatonics. By streamlining picking motion and integrating sweeping ideas, we build speed, precision, and left-hand control across the neck.
We refine ascending and descending sweep techniques with a focus on pick slant adjustments and fluid motion across strings. Through arpeggios, sequences, and scalar drills, we compare economy and alternate picking to build both speed and efficiency in real-world phrasing.
This week we hit pause to reflect, reconnect with the material, and reassess our progress across 35 routines. Using triads from Signed, Sealed, Delivered as a musical anchor, we’re reminded that practice is about depth, not speed—and real growth comes from truly knowing, not just doing.
Layering triads, pentatonics, arpeggios, and mixolydian scales across positions, this session deepens your grasp of how these elements connect. With key changes and directional drills, the goal is clarity—learning to recognize patterns, not memorize shapes, and turning that understanding into real musical movement.
This routine sharpens your grasp of I–V movement by connecting triads, pentatonics, and dominant arpeggios across familiar shapes. With a focus on targeting chord tones and hearing harmonic function clearly, the material bridges rhythm and melody in both practice and improvisation.
This routine connects dominant to tonic using arpeggio-driven lines, clear voice leading, and rhythmic variation across multiple positions. By resolving strong tones like the 3rd or root with intention, each phrase trains both your ear and hand to outline harmony with confidence and control.
This lesson packs 32 G7–C6 lines into one focused workout, combining arpeggios and scales into ear-training gold. By breaking down each lick into two four-note ideas, you’ll quickly build fluency in linear harmony—and develop the instinct to create your own.
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.
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 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 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 session kicks off our exploration of Lydian—a bright, expansive sound built from the major scale with a #4 twist. You’ll learn how to build the mode around triads and maj7 arpeggios, while training your ear to target that signature raised 4th.
This week we connect Dorian and Lydian sounds over a four-bar progression, focusing on crafting longer, melodic phrases. You’ll move through arpeggios, scales, and licks in three positions to internalize the modal shift and build your own ideas. Ask ChatGPT
Explore the soulful sound of Mixolydian by combining dominant arpeggios, full-scale patterns, and expressive triad connections. This week’s routine focuses on three core positions to help you internalize the mode’s flavor and phrasing potential.
