Guitar teachers won't dare
to tell you this
Fretboard knowledge is not expected from beginner guitarists. But the best guitarists in the world know why fretboard knowledge is the secret to guitar mastery.
The entire guitar education industry is built around the assumption that beginners do not know the notes on the fretboard.
And it would be impossible to teach it to people without 1000’s of hours of fretboard grease.
But things would have been very different if beginners had fretboard knowledge.

Memorizing
scale positions is a workaround
If you’ve ever tried memorizing the fretboard, you know it’s not child’s play.
Guitar teachers wouldn’t dare tell beginner guitarists to memorize them all.
They’d rather let people learn it over time as they gain experience with the instrument.
With that in mind, the entire scale position system you’ve been asked to memorize is a “workaround”
A workaround to relieve beginners of the pain of memorizing the fretboard. A way to get guitarists playing and allow them to understand the instrument with time.
But let’s do Things
the right way
If you've been through the fretboard book, you now know all the notes on the fretboard. You can easily recall the notes and know the layout of the guitar fretboard.
This is one of the biggest skills a beginner guitarist can have. We call it a "cheat-code" to learning guitar.
This one idea defies all the assumptions around scales. Taking you straight to the real method of learning scales.
The way the pros do it.

All of us picked up the guitar expecting it to be fun, relaxing and something to get away from – but the effort this piece of wood with 6 strings demands is surprising!
Yup! The bitter truth, isn't it?
What we face on a regular basis is frustration, a lot of it!
Complex music theory, finding the right lessons, figuring out the perfect tone, fighting finger fatigue and injuries, creative fatigue, the feeling of hopelessness, the feeling of not being able to play what you dream of.
The feeling in your stomach when you see a 9-year old nailing the song you’ve been working on for months! – the list is endless!
And we know exactly what that feeling is like. And we want to help!
We at Guitar Head are focused on constantly studying the points of frustration guitarists face. And breaking it down to simplify and find solutions for it. Be it – easy instructions or a community of members to talk to. We want make guitar an enjoyable experience for you.
We want to help bring the focus to what really matters, i.e.,
- Being able to express our emotions through music when words can’t!
- Finding strength in music when life gets tough.

Fun, Personality & Expression
Not Frustration!"
