This week, we'll break down the Major scale. As the foundation of Western Music, all music branches off from here. We'll discuss how to play the scale on guitar and how to use a "formula" to find its notes on the fretboard.

This week's lesson breaks down the Minor Scale. We'll explore it's relationship to the Major Scale and what makes it different. Scale patterns, the "formula" and how to practice it will be covered.

This lesson will cover the common chord types including Major, Minor and Dominant. We'll explore how each chord is constructed and how to find them up and down the guitar neck.

This lesson will show you how to "spice up" your chords with intervals, suspensions, and modifications. We'll discuss how these chords are often used and when you may want to try them in your playing.

In this lesson, we'll begin the process of building our RHYTHM GUITAR skills! Without good rhythm, you don't have anything. Techniques like muting, strumming, and rhythmic values will be covered.

This week will see us delve into more complex techniques of rhythm guitar such as fingerpicking and triads. We'll also push our rhythmic studies into triplets, rests, and more.

This lesson begins our journey to take scales and patterns and turn them into melodic solos and lead guitar parts! We'll talk about bending and vibrato and explore alternate, economy and hybrid picking styles.

This week focuses on style and feel! It's all about phrasing, melody and how you can craft leads to serve the song...and insert a little bit of speed.

For our final week together, we'll bring EVERYTHING we've learned together and celebrate our progress together. We might even find a way to jam together!
