Stop memorizing 5 scale patterns (there’s a better way)
|
Hey friend, Most guitarists overcomplicate this… We’re told to memorize 5 full scale patterns across the neck — but the truth is, you don’t need all of them. I just released a quick new lesson that shows how 3 simple shapes (that overlap every 2 frets) can unlock the entire fretboard. It’s faster, easier, and honestly, way more logical to play this way. Watch the lesson here: If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to memorize endless positions, this is your shortcut to freedom on the fretboard. In case you want to explore more, you can find it in Chapter 4 and 5 of The Guitar Puzzle book - the lesson is expanding on scale patterns and their practical use (especially useful to watch the book video number 5 next). Talk soon, — Vedran What The Chord |

Hey Reader, Ever wanted to add that exotic, Mediterranean sound to your playing? In this new guitar lesson, I dive into a Balkan melody and show you how to create those flowing, emotional lines using two key techniques: 🎶 Tertian harmony - stacking notes in thirds to create melodic depth 🎶 Trills - those quick, vocal-like embellishments that give Eastern music its signature flair Plus, we’ll break down how to solo over the I-bVII progression (A-G) using the Mixolydian scale - a sound that’s...
Hey Reader, You might have heard me talk and write about the Circle of Fifths and how powerful it can be for guitar players. This one minute video brings the Circle to life with dynamic visual animation - not just what it is, but how you can use it instantly on your guitar to unlock all keys - and chord progressions. The best part? You already know the Circle - it's hidden in plain sight, right in the standard guitar tuning! I've expanded the concept into a short, easy-to-follow animation....
