Fretboard Method Lesson Guide (Patreon)

Hey everyone!

I hope you're all doing great and playing/practicing as much as your life would permit!

Attached is a very simple guide that will allow you to keep track of what you have done while you progress through The Fretboard Method. Each page lists the Chapter and its related Side Lessons, as well as their content and any related audio used in the lesson. You will also see what type of material is listed in the lesson; these three lesson types are color coordinated, making them easy to spot.  For example:

Concept (blue) = A musical/guitar concept

Creative (pink) = An example of using these concepts to be creative

Practice (red) = An example of how to physically/mentally practice these concepts

On the far right side, you'll also see two columns with boxes for each lesson. They are made for you to mark so you can keep track of what you have completed. The two columns are as follows:

"Understood, Finished" = You completely understand the material and have absorbed everything you need from this lesson

"Need to Revisit" = You have watched the lesson but you may need to revisit. Maybe you need to spend some more time with the topic, or you found the lesson to be very valuable and would like to keep it in mind.

Finally, on the bottom is a rating system for you to keep track of how you feel about the topic of that batch of lessons. On a scale of 1-10, ask yourself these three simple questions as you assess your ability:

"I understand the material" = You understand the topic and how it works

"I can recreate the concept in practice" = You can recreated the topic in your own personal practice without hesitation.

"I notice and can use the concept in Music" = You can spot the topic being used in actual music from artists you like, and can use the concepts musically in your own playing.

That's it! Pretty primitive and not very high-tech, but it will work nonetheless. You absolutely don't have to use this at all but in case you wanted to keep things more organized, it's there for you to have. Again, the file is attached to this post below in "attachments".
