Zero To Hero
This class is for beginner and intermediate guitarists who want to become limitless on the fretboard and speak the language of music fluently on the guitar. This course will take guitar players who have a basic knowledge of chords/scales/songs, and transform them into competent musicians who can find all the notes on the guitar, identify riffs by ear, visualize where they are played on the fretboard, and improvise in any key. The goal of this course is to give you complete freedom on the fretboard and turn you into a REAL musician. Diagrams, tabs, and resources will be provided.

What you'll do
Fretboard Mapping
Everything we play has notes, and it’s important to visualize where those notes are on the fretboard. Fretboard mapping will allow you to hear a song by ear and find it on the fretboard.

Triads
When building chords and different voicings, it is important to have a solid understanding of triads. Triads also help when improvising because the notes of the triad fit well over the triad/chord being played.

Modes
Despite the fact that most guitar players find modes intimidating, they are actually quite simple. In this class we will look at modes "diatonically" - related to a key's major scale.

Improvisation
