You learn to identify and apply music intervals through a formula-based table of numbers, with examples like flat minor second and diminished fifth.

Apply music intervals on the fretboard across strings, using major scale templates to learn measure intervals and the second major interval, improvise solos, and hear examples like happy birthday.

Explore how sharps and flats differ, how scales determine when to use sharps or flats, and how to spell notes in major and minor keys.

Learn how to construct major and minor scales on guitar by applying the whole-step and half-step formula, starting from roots like C major, F major, and E minor.

Learn how triads are built by the third and fifth notes of a scale, and use this to improvise chord progressions, guitar solos, and arrangements.

Learn to form major and minor chords from the major scale using the 1st, 3rd, and 5th notes, with examples of major and minor chords (A, C, E).

Explore the theory of seventh chords, including major seventh, minor seventh, diminished, and fully diminished forms. Review note spellings and practical examples from jazz and bossa nova.

Explore eleventh chords and guitar arpeggios by building a major chord from one, three, and five, then extend to seven and eleven for soloing.

Explore how the 13th chord relates to the 9th and 11th chords, and identify the major-tone notes 1, 3, 5, 7, and 13.

Explore alternate bass chords by adding a chord note to the base, creating new harmonic structures used in jazz and contemporary music, including first and second versions with C major.

Learn major, minor, and diminished arpeggios through cross-string patterns. Transpose shapes in the C major context to play triads like C major, E minor, and G major for solos.

Master simple inverted triads and arpeggios across major, minor, and diminished patterns, memorize each pattern, and practice step by step to enrich your solos.

Learn to play horizontal basic triad arpeggios on string five, using major and minor shapes, with precise fingerings and fret patterns to boost guitar soloing.

Explore horizontal basic triad arpeggios on string six, including major, minor (e flat on string six fret 11), and diminished patterns, with fingerings to memorize shapes for easy transposition.

Learn blues arpeggios and guitar licks built from the minor pentatonic scale, using blues patterns, hammer-ons, and flat five and perfect five tensions for expressive soloing.

Explore seventh arpeggios and tetrad shapes, learn major and minor seventh patterns across the C major scale, and apply them to improve guitar solos.

Learn to play horizontal seventh arpeggios on the fifth string using the C major scale, exploring major seventh, minor seventh, and diminished patterns for guitar solos.

Learn to compose guitar licks using arpeggios, starting from a C major arpeggio and adding scale notes to craft melodic solos.

Learn to use arpeggios to craft guitar licks and solos by matching patterns to positions, focusing on the C major seven arpeggio, with practice to develop your arpeggio technique.

Learn to compose guitar licks using major and minor arpeggios, map notes to follow, and craft melodies by applying creativity while not playing every note.

Learn to craft guitar licks and solos by using arpeggios, focusing on chord tones and three-note patterns, and expanding with pattern variations while understanding chords and scales.

Demonstrates a daily, step-by-step arpeggio memorization exercise that builds fretboard note recall and chord-shape fluency, covering minor, diminished, half-diminished, and major seventh patterns with a metronome.

Apply minor and major arpeggio shapes over a B minor backing track, using E minor pentatonic ideas, explore multiple string positions, and create your own arpeggio patterns with creativity.

Learn to improvise guitar solos by ear in any key using ear recognition, minor pentatonic and blues notes, and quick pattern testing with backing tracks.

Compare pedals and computer emulation to reproduce guitar tones, testing a red crush pedal against computer amp sims to determine the best setup for touring bands and digital rigs.

Experiment with your guitar pedal order to craft a unique signal chain and signature sound, as there is no universal rule—test different placements like overdrive, pitch shifter, and wah-wah.

Compare a $25 replica overdrive to a $1,200 original, noting the replica delivers about 95% of the sound, making it a smart choice for hobbyists while originals suit studios.

Reduce pedal noise by using the right connectors and thicker shielded cables, and ensure a power supply with enough milliamp capacity to prevent feedback and rusted pedals.

Final notes wrap up the guitar arpeggios course, encouraging memorizing all arpeggio shapes and revisiting lessons later, with blues, jazz exercises to boost speed, harmony, and theory.
