Description

Do you find yourself using only a few open chord shapes and a simple pentatonic for soloing here and there? My name is Dave and I’ve come across a number of beginner to intermediate guitarists that have struggled with a wide array of unfamiliarity within the higher range of the fretboard.

They tend to know the basics but don’t seem to have a more in depth understanding of the relationships between shapes. This can make them feel uncomfortable with being creative on stage because of possibly hitting wrong notes. My course is a practical method to fix this problem!

• This doesn’t only apply to Modern Worship. The Genre is pop-oriented which means there’s a universal sound were desiring to achieve. Being able to add your signature melodies over any music surrounding the major scale or fundamental I, V, Vi, iV Progression requires a knowledge for finger positions that will allow you to play in autopilot in order to engage your musical brain.

I’m a fingerstyle guitarist and lead electric guitarist at church. Modern worship is simple in nature relying upon small chords and not overbearing the listener with too much detail. Overtime I began to discover a lot of strategies that helped me tremendously when mapping out the fretboard. Typically you have a rhythm guitarist covering the lower range of open chords but if you are the 2nd guitarist you want to know enough theory in order to play higher inversions.
