The FACE MELTER membership level offers full access to Troy Stetina's advanced fretboard mastery course FRETBOARD MAPPING SYSTEM along with the entire HEAVY RHYTHM GUITAR MASTERY course.

 

The FRETBOARD MAPPING SYSTEM:

It's about more than just learning scale and chord patterns. It's about connecting your ear to the fretboard so you know instinctively how every note sounds AS you play it. No more hunting for notes and no more nasty surprises while improvising!

This self-paced, structured learning environment housed within a supportive guitar community takes you by the hand through each step of the process. This revolutionary approach is a must for the musician who wants to dominate the instrument. 

Highlights of the FRETBOARD MAPPING SYSTEM:

  • Reassessment of the true goal of fretboard mastery and how it can be achieved.
  • Scales reimagined and integrated with the ear.
  • Ear training and music theory applied at EVERY step along the way.
  • All musical structure shapes, plus how they integrate with one another.
  • How to work with chord changes.
  • Harmonic context in virtually all situations.
  • And much, much more.


*Note: This is a HUGE course with a lot of videos that include lots of diagrams. It is slated to include a total of 12 videos lessons per Step, with a total of 12 steps (so 144). As our guiding principle is uncompromising quality, we are taking time to insure everything is covered in the best possible way. So the course is incomplete at this time... at lauch, currently up to Step 5. The idea is to stay ahead of your progress. Material will be going up steadily in coming months.

*Note: It may be helpful to also use Troy's book/audio course Fretboard Mastery while going through this online course. However, this is not entirely necessary. While it's true that the general material and goal is similar, this online course is an entirely new approach and fully self contained. In addition, you'll find its step by step nature more naturally in line with real world application
