I decided enough was enough. I sat down and analysed what was going on and realised a pattern.
The sounds I liked, the tasty arpeggios, the cool pentatonics, and the sweet-sounding triads were all diatonic to the chords I was playing over. They were related, and they all related to some pretty common scales.
So, how did I make sense of it all?
I figured out some simple formulas that would allow me to extract these options from the scales I liked over a particular chord and related them to the shapes I already knew on the guitar. Almost like magic, I was able to play all the tasty sounds I was after with ease, fluidity and no head-scratching.
And how did this benefit my students?
I packaged this system into a simple set of lessons that I could teach my students. Teaching became easy, as the results my students started getting were outrageous.
The only way I can guarantee you will get results from my methods is if you put the work into practising the material. Your playing will improve dramatically if you work through the lessons methodically and follow the course structure, but it takes work and dedication. The thing is, if you love playing the guitar, practice doesn’t feel like a chore, especially with these methods to point you in the right direction. They do work, and not just for me; here’s a few quotes from my students about my material.
