In this book, I'd like to show you what I discovered about teaching scales to intermediate guitarists, as well as the one thing that really made a difference to their ability to improvise in a musical way, rather than running aimlessly up and down CAGED shapes or 3NPS scale patterns.
I was always puzzled as to why players with a good grasp of pentatonics lost their way when they started to learn the major scale and its modes, or any other scale for...

The Hacking the CAGED System series was inspired by my own, and other guitarist's frustrations with the infamous CAGED System for learning guitar.
It all started back in Music College in the early 2000s, at the ACM in Guildford (UK) to be precise, where we were handed, by none other than Guthrie Govan, an inch-thick binder containing all manner of shapes and patterns for the CAGED system, including chords and arpeggios. I duly slaved over the book...

This is a soloing system I came up with for intermediate guitarists based on exploring the sounds of blues-rock improvisation which involves minimal theory, while focusing on concepts you can apply to your playing right away.
Here we dispense with scales, arpeggios and whatnot in favor of just 3 positions on the fretboard that will allow you to get a wide variety of blues-rock sounds under your fingers in no time at all. This is accomplished by focusing...

Picking up a Guitar and Making Beautiful Music Is a Great Feeling
Whether you're young or old, there's no better feeling than learning to play an instrument. Sadly, most people believe that they will never learn how to play Guitar.
Local guitar teachers seem like a great option at first, but you could risk getting stuck with a wannabe rock star who can't really teach you. Or you could try YouTube but most of those videos go way too fast and they...

Ever since my first guitar teacher introduced me to the music of Allan Holdsworth in the late 90s, it has been an ongoing apprenticeship. I became fascinated, not only with his music, but with his approach to music itself, and the way he thinks about chords, scales and improvisation.
Allan's REH video was a blessing for me as I was able to glean enough insight into his playing to understand the way the great man thinks, and more importantly to begin...

There's a beautiful symmetry about modes in fourths tuning (E, A, D, G, C, F or any variation thereof) that's well-worth exploring, which is why I've dedicated an entire book to it. With that B-string bump out of the way, we're free to explore modes both as scales in their own right and as parent scales belonging to a key. There's just something about fourths tuning that makes the transition from theory to practice, and then mastery, a fairly effortless...

The Woodshedder's Guide to Guitar Scales came about after a request from a student. Obsessed with scales, she wanted a practice regime that allowed to her to learn a considerable number of guitar scales all over the fretboard using the most efficient and least time-consuming method I could come up with. To accomplish this, I suggested using just three patterns per scale, all of which are derived from three master patterns. In essence, we bypassed...

There's a little more than meets the eye when making the transition from 6 to 7-string guitar.
