Seven Worlds for Guitar

This transformational course goes beyond everything you have seen about how to learn the guitar. You will learn to understand the entire fretboard at once, allowing you to break out of memorized scale drawings and truly express yourself creatively.

You will master the seven harmonic environments of the major scale, which are the foundation of all modern music. And you’ll learn to connect your ear with your instrument, expressing your own musical ideas anywhere on the fretboard. If you have always dreamed of truly understanding music and being able to improvise with complete freedom on the guitar, this is the course for you!

You do not need to know anything at all about music theory to begin, and you don’t need to be able to read sheet music.

This course will give you a solid foundation in both harmony and improvisation on the guitar that will serve you for the rest of your life.

Here are some of the skills you will learn:

  • Break free from memorized scale drawings. Learn to solo across the entire fretboard in any key.
  • Discover the inner workings of modern harmony and master improvising over all seven chords of the major scale.
  • Move beyond licks and patterns. Understand how music really works and create your own music right from the first day.
  • Learn how to add chords to your solos, improvising your own chord voicings anywhere on the fretboard.
  • Learn how to connect your ear with your instrument, playing sounds and melodies exactly as you hear them in your mind.
  • No prior knowledge of music theory or the IFR method is required. Everyone is welcome!
