If the guitar fretboard starts to feel like a dark, mysterious forest as you move beyond open position, then it's time to remedy that. With this guitar video lesson collection, instructors Doug Boduch, Tom Kolb, Troy Stetina, and Marcus Henderson will show you how to get familiar with the entire fretboard quickly and make it work for you instead of against you. You'll learn all about intervals, chord theory, arpeggios, scale patterns, alternate tunings, and more, as well as some great-sounding riffs and licks in the process. These guitar lesson videos are designed for guitar players who would like a more solid command of the guitar fretboard.

You'll begin by learning the useful CAGED system in Fretboard Navigation, which neatly organizes the entire guitar neck using the familiar open C, A, G, E, and D chord shapes, making it easy to link scale patterns to chord shapes all over the fretboard. Then, in Thirds and Sixth Intervals, you'll see how handy these dyads are as Tom Kolb will demonstrate how to play them and use them in numerous styles. Troy Stetina then takes over with Three-Notes-Per-String Scale Patterns and shows you how to organize scales into a symmetrical three notes per string, a common technique employed by shredders that makes picking through scales much easier and more consistent.

There's plenty more to come as well, including Connecting Pentatonic Positions (string together all five pentatonic positions to cover the entire neck), Arpeggios (construction and application), Harmonizing Lead Lines (in the style of Iron Maiden, the Scorpions, etc.), Triad Substitutions (using triads from a different root than the sounding chord to highlight different notes), and Alternate Tunings (covering drop D, open G, open D, and DADGAD).

By the end of this video guitar lesson course, you'll see the fretboard as a neatly organized map of sounds that you can access at any time for any purpose. Don't delay; your fretboard freedom awaits!
