Learn modes and arpeggios!

Your Advanced Practice Routine teach you the foundation of the modes and arpeggio shapes that you need in order to master the guitar.

As well as this, study the chord and chord progression sections carefully, music on the guitar is all built around this.

All these topics put together will teach you how to arrange on one guitar, but also to improvise solos using the technique: new chord = new scale or arpeggio.

This type of knowledge is essential for the aspiring guitarist. Not only for improvising but for song writing, part writing and an overall understanding of music.

It is not until you can see the whole picture that it becomes easy.

Advanced Scale Exercises

Whatever you do, don’t rush these exercises!

Slowly and methodically, just keep track of them in the Work Book.

Modal exercises like, Aeolian Em shape for example, is played according to the rules of the Conspiracy.

You add the extra notes of the mode one by one in order to hear them better. You do this so they stand out visually in relation to the pentatonic.

When the connection has been made between ear and intervals, as well as pentatonic shape and the intervals you are ready to move on.
