I often tell my students, the more you learn on the guitar, the more fun the guitar is to play. As a guitarist, being able to pick up the instrument and play freely, anywhere on the neck, is one of the most joyous things in my life. In this course, I want to teach you how to do just that. Make the guitar more fun and help it bring joy to your life. We will dive into understanding the CAGED system, and along the way, dive into basic theory. The goal is to train you to think like a pro by establishing basic theory concepts like, where do scales come from? How do I know what notes are in what chord? How do I target notes in a solo? How do I solo or compose in any key? How do I know what key a song is in? How can I learn a song or lick by ear? Answering all of these questions will allow you to flow freely around the instrument and sound more like an experienced pro.
