Music Theory Helper for Guitarists v
Pick a key and a preset to build your theory workbook.
Master your guitar neck in 30 minutes a day.
The neck is divided into three Color Zones. Don't try to learn them all at once! Pick one zone and stay there for a full week.
Your "Home Base." If you get lost or the scale sounds messy, find a Diamond note to reset.
Standard "Master Shapes." Use the dropdown on your chord cards to pick the shape that fits your current Zone.
The "DNA" of the song (I, IV, V). Master these to play your favorite songs in any key.
Find every Diamond in your Color Zone. Play them until you can find them with your eyes closed.
Play the progression using CAGED shapes. Switch between chords slowly and cleanly.
Strum a chord, then play 2 or 3 scale notes from the same zone. This connects the scale to the music.
Close your eyes. Play the whole progression. If you can do it in the dark, you've mastered it.
Keep this sheet in your practice binder.
