 Theory on Frets
A college level course that applies music theory to the guitar fretboard. Relevant for all string players.
I take students through the fundamentals of theory and show how it applies to the guitar. The guitar seen through theory has so many interesting patterns and advantages to learning scales and arpeggios. My goal is to make things easy. We also go a bit beyond fundamentals into chord progressions and voice leading. 


Learn how to write music and all the rich intricacies of music theory while building your knowledge of the guitar. 

Intervals, scales, modes, triads, seventh chords, diatonic chords, chord progressions and more!
​

Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm ET  (3:00-4:00 PT) from Feb 23  to May 11, 2022.
Cost: $500 for 10 sessions if paid by February 23, $60 per class after 
February 23 or to pay per class.
