Hello Everyone!

In case you haven't noticed, yesterday's lesson (Ch.9 Side Lesson E) was the final lesson for my first series of which I'm calling my Fretboard Method. This means all 53 lessons (over 16 hours of video) are now available for you to study at your leisure. 

If you haven't seen the lesson guide I posted previously, click here for that post and the link to the PDF:

This guide will help you keep track of your progress as you slowly and methodically work your way through.

I'm very excited about this series, as I truly believe that it is a foolproof method in regards to fully understanding how to maneuver around the fretboard in a musical way, rather than just a physical way. Again, in my opinion if you know what you're doing on the fretboard and how it works musically, it's impossible for you to ever be lost or sound bad as long as you're making good choices. 

----Moving Forward---

I'm currently building the next series, which is going to be called "Playing and Playing Over Chords in a Key" (or PPOCK for short). In the series we will go over how to have complete control over every sound available in a key. This includes all chords and their variations, as well as every single note that will work over each specific chord. Once you go through and completely understand this material, that will account for essentially 70% of all music that has ever been written. You will understand why certain chords work together, how to build every chord type that exists, how to play over all of these different chord types, and how to achieve all of that in your own playing and writing. Very exciting stuff!

I'm not exactly sure when I will begin posting that material, but I will let you know and it will probably be within a month's time. Also, the lessons are not being watched as often as I had anticipated, so I'm going to modify my upload rate from here on out to be less frequent. This will hopefully help you feel less overwhelmed and give you more time to understand each lesson's material thoroughly. Not exactly sure what it will be, but I will let you know soon. 

During this break, I want all of you to send me any questions you may have either in the comments below or as a private message through the site. I'll be more than happy to answer them and if I get enough of them, I'll post a video of me answering all of them, which I think would be a pretty good idea as you can see what sort of issues other people are experiencing. 

Finally, I just wanted to thank you all for being patrons and (hopefully) enjoying and getting use out of the material. As I'm sure it is the same for you, it's been a pretty rough couple of weeks. Even thought you are only a small group, your support has MASSIVELY helped me during this time. So thanks again, and I'll see you in the next lesson!

Hey LoG, thing are going great. I am taking it slow with the course and trying to really wrap my head around it. I had a real encouraging moment a few days ago. I was listening to a podcast that mentioned the movie Top Gun, a childhood favorite of mine. I was humming one of the lead lines and naturally had my guitar in hand. To my utter amazement I found thst I could play the melody I was hearing in my head quite easily. https://youtu.be/DxK-m9n7H1s (this link will help you hear it) it is not super complicated, but I found I could play it at different positions on the neck, even in different keys. I was thrilled. All from memory. I am starting to feel more comfortable with the intervals. Anyway, the point is that the lessons are working. You are doing great work. My guitar feels more alive with each passing day. I C not wait to get to the later chapters of the program. Like I said, I am taking it slow. Do now worry about YouTube views. You have built it, they will come.

Such a great example with the Top Gun theme. Super memorable and thematic, yet unbelievably simple with the strong 1 to 5 opening. Glad you're seeing progression!

After Christian started working with me on ear training, I had the same experience on a Top Gun song! lol Awesome feeling.
