There are three major ideas that make this system work:

A systematic process to develop all aspects of guitar playing, including:
technique, harmony, improvisation, styles etc.
The system is completely based on Grove Modern Harmonic concepts, which
are the most comprehensive approaches to Modern Harmony today.
We have a visualization process that helps you see all areas of the neck by
approaching visualization from it's lowest common denominator. This visualization process gives you much more independence and flexibility in all areas, from sight-reading to improvisation.

LET'S LOOK AT THESE THREE FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
AND SEE HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE
THIS SYSTEM THE MOST EFFECTIVE,
ACCELERATED, AND THOROUGH APPROACH
TO THE MASTERY OF GUITAR THAT HAS EVER EXISTED.

FIRST, we have the systematic approach to developing each of the essential elements of guitar technique (i.e.: scales, 3, 4, and 5 to 7 part harmony, right and left hand approaches, etc.) providing a complete 'vision of the neck' with none of the 'hazy' areas that almost all guitarists experience in certain keys or positions. This approach also makes sure that we are confronted with technically difficult ideas to execute in every practice session, therefore allowing us to become increasingly fluid with continuing any phrase to it's musical conclusion. This eliminates the 'burn on your favorite lick and stumble on every new idea syndrome'. Finally, after working through this system, you will find that each new concept or lick you learn can become completely integrated into your playing immediately - by applying the systematic approach to developing the new idea in all its possible applications.

SECOND, The Grove harmony is the academic side of the systematic idea. Grove harmony is the most clearly and completely organized approach to understanding harmony from an ear standpoint in existence. This means that every possible harmonic situation has been labeled and explained in the context of how your 'ear' relates to it. As you learn the harmony, you learn to hear and identify, or put a handle on what you are hearing.

THIRD, we have brought the essential process of 'visualizing' the neck down to it's lowest common denominator, this means that have used the 'simplest possible framework' as the foundation or reference to understand every aspect of improvisation, no matter how advanced

When we speak with you, it is YOUR personal consultation, and one in which we only have your best interests in mind.

Although all of this may sound too good to be true, I think you will agree that this is a concept for learning "whose time has come"
