Today's session
Twenty five minutes, put together from where you are in the arc: a warm-up, the skill you are on, something to revisit, and something to play.
Two rules for the whole year
Always know what key you're in and where the root is. Record yourself once a week.
Fretboard
The five pentatonic positions in any key, the seven modes drawn over the skeleton you already know, and the study guides.
Chords
The working set of shapes to learn in order, and a lookup grid of every root and flavor.
Reading
Standard notation from zero: the staff, the first position map, and how long each note lasts.
Glossary
Every term this site uses, in plain language.
Study plan
Beginner to intermediate in three stages over a year, with progress tracking.
Course
Lessons, videos, printable sheet music, and the score player for every song.
