For years, I taught guitar the way I was taught—the way most teachers do.

I showed my private students the minor pentatonic scale, box patterns, and exercises designed to "unlock" the fretboard.

I watched as they memorized shapes and practiced scales up and down the neck, but something was missing.

They weren’t truly playing the guitar.

They weren’t flowing effortlessly across the fretboard like the legends they admired—Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, John Frusciante, Tom Misch.

Instead, they were thinking too much, stuck in their heads, afraid to break out of the boxes they had learned.

After thousands of lessons and years of trial and error, I started asking a different question: How did the greats actually move around the neck?

They didn’t think in rigid patterns—they played musically.

They connected the fretboard in a way that felt intuitive, not mechanical.

That’s when I realized—I was teaching it all wrong.

I began shifting my approach. Instead of drilling patterns, I started showing my students how to use the fretboard the way their heroes do.

We built the neck up step-by-step in small bit-sized stages. 

​

Before too long they could see the entire fretboard as one big toolkit.

And something incredible happened...

My students stopped overthinking and just played.

​

At first, they didn’t even notice the transformation.

I'd watch them improvise, seamlessly flowing across the neck, locked into their playing, fully engaged.

And then I’d say: "Hey, you realize you’re playing all over the neck now? That sounds great!"

Their response as I brought them out of their soloing trance? "Oh yeah... I guess I am."

​

That’s when I knew this was the way forward.

​

​​​​​​​This is a method that works​ and the great thing its really simple:

​

We start with the minor pentatonic box shape that everyone knows

​

I show how to then move across the neck adding colour and tension

​

The neck becomes your soloing toolkit where you can switch different flavours on and off when you need to

​​​​​​

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from teaching for over 10 years and put it into a structured, 60-minute workshop designed specifically for late beginner and intermediate players who feel stuck.

This is your chance to finally move around the neck like the greats—without second-guessing every note.

​

If you've been struggling to break free from the same old patterns, I promise—this changes everything.

​

For the cost of a cheap foot pedal, you can take the big leap towards being a highly skilled intermediate.
