Fretboard Mastery

You don’t need to learn new scale shapes! 🎸

Many guitarists struggle with “information overload” when trying to master the fretboard. The truth? You already know the minor pentatonic shapes, you just haven’t learned how to unlock them yet.

In Part 2 of our CAGED Masterclass, we’re diving into the “Missing Link”: the connection between the Major and Minor Pentatonic scales. I’ll show you how to use the exact same 5 shapes you already know to play over any chord, major or minor, with one simple shift.

What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ The “3-fret rule” to find your relative minor.
✅ How to bridge the gap between Major and minor sounds using the CAGED system.
✅ Practical visualization: Seeing the minor root within your major shapes.
✅ BONUS: A full “Little Wing” style etude based on these concepts!

Do you feel like you’re playing random patterns without really seeing the fretboard?

In this lesson, we’re moving beyond just memorizing shapes. I’ll show you exactly how to connect the 5 CAGED chord shapes to the Major Pentatonic scale, turning the neck into one clear, navigable map.

What you’ll learn in this video:

🎸 How to anchor any scale to a chord shape you already know.
🎸 The “Root-High-Low” exercise to internalize the scale root.
🎸 How to switch between C, F, and G chords without moving your hand up and down the neck in 5 different positions.
🎸 Moving from “playing scales” to “making music” – a solo utilizing all the stuff we learned including TAB.
