As a degree-level music lecturer, I am extremely passionate about fretboard knowledge and in my career as a session guitarist, I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with some big names, playing lots of different styles of music. The one thing all of these artists have in common is that working with them requires that you have full command of the fretboard.
Fretboard knowledge is very important when it comes to both improvisation and composition. There are many ways to learn the guitar's neck: There’s the CAGED system, which is based on learning 5 positions; the 3-note-per-string system, which is based on 7 positions; there’s a 6 position system; the intervallic, formula-based system; a system in which we relate all of our information back to the pentatonic scale…the list goes on.
One important thing to remember is that these methods are all just different ways of viewing and processing the same information.
Over the next 56 lessons, we will delve deep into the world of fretboard knowledge, looking at all of the best known methods for visualising and playing scales, chords, triads and arpeggios.
Additionally, we will study the modal system in depth, working with several backing tracks and learning some cool, rock-based solos.
This course is for guitar players of all levels. Late beginners can get a head start on their fretboard knowledge by following the the lessons, but the course is also ideal for intermediate players and even advanced guitarists with gaps in their knowledge.
This series is largely theory based and packed full of information. It is recommended that you print out and study the included tab and fretboard diagrams and watch through this series at least once without your guitar. This will allow you to get a feel for which system (or combination of systems) works for the way you want to play.

Who Should Attend!
- Beginners to advanced guitarists. Intermediate and advanced players with gaps in their knowledge can greatly benefit from this course. If you're in the beginner stage of your playing, ideally, you should already know a few chords and maybe some simple scales or single-note melodies. Whatever your stage, it's never too late or too early to improve your fretboard navigation skills!
