Improvise for Real – IFR Video Course for Guitar

IFR Video Course for Guitar

If you long to understand how music really works and how to improvise with complete freedom on the guitar, this course will be transformational for you. You will learn to understand the entire fretboard at once, allowing you to break out of memorized scale drawings and truly express yourself creatively.

You will learn how songs and chord progressions work, and how to express your own musical ideas over these songs. You’ll even learn to improvise your own accompaniment chords on the guitar just as freely as you can improvise melody lines.

You do not need to know anything at all about music theory to begin, and you don’t need to be able to read sheet music.

This course will give you a solid foundation in both harmony and improvisation on the guitar that will serve you for the rest of your life.

Here are some of the skills you will learn:

• Break free from memorized scale drawings. Learn to solo across the entire fretboard in any key.
• Discover the inner workings of modern harmony. Master improvising over chord progressions and learn to weave your own melodies effortlessly through the chords.
• Learn how to play directly from your imagination, expressing your own melodic ideas exactly as you hear them in your mind.
