What you'll do

Scales

Scales are the musical alphabet in which we communicate. We will cover several scales in this course and form an understanding that every scale can be derived from the major scale, making ALL scales simple to learn!

Triads

Triads are the building blocks of chords, so they are vital for any pro guitarist's knowledge. Triads will allow us to build larger chords as well as map out chord tones to land on while improvising and soloing.

Modes

Modes can be used to enhance improvisation whether we are playing in one tonal center or multiple different tonal centers.

Extended Chords

Learn all the colorful chords that include more notes than just basic triads. Spice up your rhythm playing with extended chords!

Rhythm

It's important to become creative in other elements of our playing rather than just notes...in this course we will learn to be creative using rhythmic elements.

Improvisation Techniques

Become a master of improvisation with creative techniques allowing our solos to sound like music and not just scales.

Practical Theory

Learn the music theory to succeed in the real world as a working musician.

Who you are
The only requirement of this course is the ability to play open chords.

If you're ready to move beyond cowboy chords, one or two boxes of the pentatonic scale, and randomly messing around on the fretboard until things sound good, take this class! Caitlin understands music theory and is able to communicate how to put it into practice from basic principles. Her genre breakdowns are methodical and reveal that she's got deep insights only years of experience can bring. Plus, she's willing to tackle any question you have whether beginner or advanced. So if you've been playing for a while and you're ready to take your skills to the next level, sign up with Caitlin!
