The Guitarbacus guide

Learn a little. Play a little.

Follow the guide in order or pick an idea to try on your guitar. Each lesson connects to a ready-to-play fretboard example.

Start here

One pattern. A whole world of sound.

The guitar has a useful kind of symmetry.

Learn a small piece of the pattern.

Five notes. Plenty to say.

Make a phrase, not a checklist.

See the harmony inside the scale.

A note comes around again.

One small interval changes the color.

Same notes. A different home.

Give the relationships a voice.

Build from the intervals.

Let one chord lead to another.

Listen to the whole conversation.

Good notes need good timing.

Learn the map. Then take a detour.
