Gi60S What Is It & Who Is It For?

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Beginners:

These systems will become the blueprint that will guide you through every song, lick and solo you will ever play or
write for the rest of your life.

Intermediate Players:

Learn a unified approach to scales and Modes. master the chord to scale connection. Develop your technique, left/right hand synchronization and fretboard navigation simultaneously.

Advanced players:

The 5 systems consolidate all of the scale and chord information you’ve already learned into a single logical unified system that you can see and play directly on the fingerboard not just some abstract theory in a book.

For Everyone:

Players of all levels develop a high level of core techniques, left/right hand synchronization and fretboard navigation simultaneously. All lessons are presented at a pace slow enough for a total beginner yet deep enough for the most advanced guitar player.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT?

Guitarin60Seconds 2.0 is just 5 simple systems designed to train both hands simultaneously with the specific skill sets needed to play anything you want to play on the guitar.

The 5 systems cover these essential skill areas.

1. Chord Fingering
2. Chord Progressions
3. Scale Consolidation
4. Fretboard Navigation
5. Single Note Improvisation (lead guitar)

3 out of the 5 systems are dedicated to soloing and improvising. You’ll love how you sound and how it feels to navigate the fretboard with confidence. All those unfamiliar places on the fretboard will suddenly become your favorite stomping ground.

These systems work as well for the total beginner as they do for the advanced pro. Plugin just one of these systems and all of those other courses you have sitting around will suddenly begin to make a lot more sense.

I designed these lessons so they are easy for beginners and still challenging for more experienced players. I still practice most of these lessons myself everyday.

The lessons continue to help you as you develop your skills and understanding as you grow. No other guitar course out there is designed to work this way.

60 SECONDS?

It refers to the 60 seconds play along lessons that occur at the end of each lesson. It’s like having me there with you as a practice buddy. Here’s how it works. First you watch the demonstration lesson where I explain a concept and break it down for you giving you tips and shortcuts along the way.  Then immediately afterward there is a 60 second workout that reinforces everything you just learned.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

There are 10 DVD’s in all and 5 PDF Books that follow along with the DVDs. The course materials are divided into three distinct sections. I organized the DVDs and PDF books by subject so you could easily go to a specific idea and immediately find what
you are looking for.

You can also go through the DVD’s in order and use them like a series of lessons.  Just watch a DVD and find that lesson title in the PDF book and follow along.

Section One: The Fundamentals – 2 DVDs – covers the 12 basic chords and chord cloning (creates new chords from the
12 basic chord shapes). Includes open chords and bar chords.

Has this ever happened to you?  You show up at your first guitar lesson and your teacher gives you this list of chords and say’s “go home and learn these then next week we’ll start working on some really easy songs. That approach leaves a huge gap of information in between learning the chords and playing songs that it’s no wonder most beginners lose interest in learning to play guitar before they even had a chance to get started good.

Gi60S 2.0 fills in that gap by showing you my proprietary “Chord Connections System”.  These lessons show you how to transform the 12 basic chord shapes into every chord you will ever want or need to play. You won’t find anywhere else because I’ve been developing and testing it for the past 20 years with my private students.

Section 2:  DVD’s 1-2 I teach you all about chord progressions and substitutions. I show you how to see chord theory directly on the fingerboard with my Chord Progression Tools.  You’ll play and understand chords by number and be able to identify the key of any song.

Section Three:  DVD’s 3-4 – Cover my unique approach to scales and improvising your own solo’s licks and fills.  I show you how to visualize all scales through the Pentatonic Shapes with my Pentatonic Master Scale System. You’ll learn my proprietary formula for numbering the Pentatonic Patterns in a way so that each pattern name relates directly to the notes that make up the scale. I show you how to condense 52 scales into one scale.  Instead of learning this:(taken directly from one of those other online courses).

Major Pentatonic Patterns 1-5
Minor Pentatonic Patterns 1-5
7 Note Major scale patterns 1-7
The Minor Scale Patterns 1-7
The 7 Modes of the Major Scale
The Melodic Minor scale
The Harmonic minor scale ascending
The Harmonic minor scale descending etc…

You’ll just learn how to see all those scales using the 5 simple Pentatonic patterns.  The 2 things that make this work are 1st – the way I name the patterns and 2nd the way I show you to visualize or see the patterns on the fretboard.

A lot of people buy my course and see the Pentatonic stuff and think I already know the Pentatonics.  My answer to that is always “good”, then it will be far easier for you to learn my systems because knowing the 5 Pentatonic shapes is the foundation for everything else.

SOMETHING TO BE AWARE OF:

Even if you do know the 5 Pentatonic shapes already, you probably don’t know them using the same names that I use.  It is critical that you learn my names (Root shape, 2nd shape 3rd shape, 5th shape and 6th shape) and abandon all other names for the 5 boxes.  These names relate to the notes from the 7 note Major scale.

I do not give separate names to the major and minor Pentatonics like most players do.  When you do this you wind up learning the same information twice with two different names and it is a waste of time.  You’ll see what I mean when you get into the course.

A FEW MORE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SCALES:

Knowing the Pentatonic shapes is just the beginning.  You need to learn why I teach you to see all other scales through the Pentatonic scale shapes.

In other words the Pentatonics are the skeleton or structure for all the other scale shapes that you will ever want or need to play.
Think of the Pentatonic shapes as visual markers or locator  for all other scale shapes.

For now don’t follow any other books or videos you may have on the subject of scales and soloing.  After you understand the Pentatonic Master Scale concept, all that other stuff will finally make sense.

You are going to find that there are different names for the same information being taught out there which I discuss in the course,
this is why guitar can be confusing at times which is why I use the acronym F.O.C.U.S. (Follow One Course Until Successful).

After you have a good understanding of The Pentatonic Master Scale concept and have made it a habit to play Pentatonic Sequences daily then go to the Master Session DVD called The DAE System.  This is where the real fun begins.

After you see and use this simplified approach to soloing everything else you’ve seen out there will suddenly make sense.

HOW ABOUT MODES? (for more experienced players)

Modes are usually taught so poorly that almost no one understands them or how to apply them.  They are actually very simple when explained properly and are not actually a new scale at all.  You’ll see what I mean when you get there.

Don’t worry about Modes so much right now.  Even Legendary Players like Jazz Guitarist Larry Carlton admit that they don’t really understand all that modal stuff but they can sure play that stuff all day long.

You will too once you see what Modes really are.  I think you’re going to be surprised at how simple they are and a little mad that no one told you this before now.

Once you have a handle on all these concepts then go to the master Sessions which show you how to practice the concepts you have learned and take them to a higher level.

KEEP UP WITH YOUR PROGRESS:

Finally be sure to use the progress tracker to help you keep track of what you practiced last and what you need to be doing today.
This way you don’t waste your valuable practice time trying to figure out what you should be practicing.

WHAT THE PRO’S THINK:

I’ve had a lot of pro players buy my course.  In fact they seem to like the even more than the beginners because they have the experience to really appreciate my simple yet powerful systems.

One guy who had playing for 30 something years said he could solo in minor keys with no problem but always seemed to stumble when he tried to solo over songs in major keys.  I showed him my 5 shapes system and in 30 seconds the light came on for him.  He was floored by how simple the solution was. His fellow band members were so impressed they jokingly  asked him “who are you and what have you done with our guitar player?”

Bottom Line: You won’t find any “Mary had a little lamb” type exercises here. This is serious training for anyone who wants to play the guitar at any level…Once you’ve applied the material you find in Guitarin60Seconds 2.0 you will be at least twice as good a guitar player as you are right now…this course will take you to any level you believe you are capable of achieving.
