Description
Welcome to Visual Guitar Mastery, a unique guitar course designed to deepen your understanding of the fretboard through daily hands-on practice and innovative learning techniques. Unlike traditional methods, this course flips the perspective to match the view from your playing position, ensuring that all tools—worksheets, videos, and drills—are designed to help you fully visualize the guitar as you see it behind the instrument.
We’ll be using an adjustable Excel worksheet to map out the fretboard, offering interactive resources for modes, scales, intervals, and chords. Our approach places the low (heavy) string at the top of the worksheet for easier comprehension. Video recordings will be flipped, simulating a left-handed guitar setup so that you can better align the visual experience with your own playing perspective.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn how to navigate the fretboard, explore modes and guitar shapes, and master chord construction and interval identification, all while applying music theory directly to your playing. Detailed drills and exercises will deepen your theoretical understanding, and we will focus on developing precise terminology to guide your fretboard navigation. Creative visual storytelling techniques will also be used to enhance memorization, helping you internalize complex patterns and concepts.
This course is designed for anyone looking to enhance their guitar-playing skills while learning to approach the fretboard with clarity and precision.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner to Intermediate Guitarists who have foundational guitar skills and want to advance their knowledge of the fretboard and music theory.
