Master 3 Notes Per String Scale Shapes Across the Entire Fretboard

If you’re feeling limited by the CAGED system when it comes to speed, legato, and moving fluently across the fretboard, 3 Notes Per String (3NPS) shapes are the answer.

In this lesson, we break down how 3NPS scale shapes work and share a simple formula to help you memorize and map out all 7 shapes across the entire neck – without having to memorize 7 completely different patterns from scratch.

We’ll cover:
🎸 How interval sets repeat across the fretboard
🎸 The “Go Back 2 Sets” rule for instant visualization
🎸 How 3NPS shapes relate to the 7 modes and chord contexts
🎸 Practical 2-string combination exercises to break free from box patterns
