Back To Basics Masterclass
If you’re feeling stuck in that frustrating intermediate plateau, you’re not alone. This is not a talent issue… it’s a fundamentals issue.
That’s exactly why I created Back To Basics, a step-by-step masterclass designed to help intermediate guitarists finally master the essentials which are key to breaking out of the intermediate plateau.
✅ Triads: Unlock the fretboard by showing you how to play chords in multiple positions
✅ Arpeggios: Give your solos and melodies a strong connection to the chords underneath
✅ Scales: Help you target the right notes and avoid noodling aimlessly.
✅ 7th Chords: Add color, depth, and richness to your chord vocabulary.
✅ Inversions: Gain fretboard fluency and use the entire guitar neck.
✅ ...and more
These are the tools that unlock the fretboard and transform your playing from “pretty good” to next-level.
PS... 93% of students that complete "Back To Basics" masterclass gained more freedom when learning songs, playing solos, jamming with friends, and writing their own ideas.
Join 947+ guitar students already mastering their fundamentals, instantly improving their soloing, rhythm playing, and deeper understanding of the fretboard.
Curriculum
Too many intermediate and even advanced players are stuck. The reason? They skipped the fundamentals.
If you haven’t truly internalized the core elements of the fretboard, you're limiting your progress whether you realize it or not. This is the single BIGGEST mistake I see players making time and time again.
Ask yourself:
👉Can you confidently play triads across the entire neck?
👉What about 7th chords? inversions? Arpeggios?
👉Can you start navigate the neck starting from any position?
👉Can visualize your scales, chords, and arpeggios?
👉Do you have to stop and figure out chords/scales while you're playing? Why aren't these things happening instantly?
If the answer is no, that's the missing piece. And it’s holding you back every time you play. It's time to close the gap and unlock your full potential.
