Demystifying the Guitar Fretboard

$158.00

Everybody just loves theory, right? OK, never mind. In this class, we will learn just the right amount of theory to help understand the fretboard, learn about chord construction to increase your chord vocabulary, and get you started playing some simple leads all over the neck while knowing what you are doing. We'll talk a bit about technique and tone as well. No fancy licks here, but hopefully enough information so you can create your own fancy licks.
