Course Description:

This course is a complete guide to scale & interval patterns for guitar.

Based on the widely-accepted "CAGED" system utilized by the world's most prominent guitarists and teachers, it examines Major, Melodic Minor, & Harmonic Minor scale & interval patterns in all keys and positions, relating everything to the five most common major chord shapes.

Though this course includes music theory, its primary focus is on the practicalities of recognizing, practicing, and memorizing Major, Melodic Minor, & Harmonic Minor scales, and melodic & harmonic intervals, on the guitar. 

Improvisation & ear training are strongly emphasized.
