Cutting Edge Guitar

Tired of soloing in one box? Here’s how CAGED + 3-notes-per-string unlocks the ENTIRE fretboard 🎸

Most guitarists learn 5 pentatonic boxes and never connect them. CAGED gives you the map. 3NPS gives you the speed and flow to move through it seamlessly.

I break this down inside the Scale Pyramid Method — my system for turning scattered shapes into one connected fretboard.

“Cutting Edge Soloing” — the fastest way to stop guessing and start soloing with intent.

Tired of the same pentatonic box shapes? In this solo study I’m pulling 6th intervals straight out of the Scale Pyramid — skipping notes instead of running the scale in order, so instead of predictable pentatonic licks you get wide, melodic leaps that instantly sound fresher and more intentional.

This is the difference between knowing a scale and actually using it. The Scale Pyramid Method gives you a system for extracting the full spectrum of harmonic devices — so you stop defaulting to the same shapes every time you solo.

Most people think these mindset motivation speeches are about business. Not true. Apply it to anything in life. Especially playing guitar. Throw yourself into it. Work hard. Show up. You’ll achieve more than you ever thought possible. Get started right now, link in bio. 🤘🏻🎸🔥

Backing tracks with the scale written on screen? This could actually be really hurting your progress. You’re not learning to hear where the notes live, you’re being conditioned to need the diagram. The second it disappears, you’re lost.

The Scale Pyramid Method fixes this by teaching you real fretboard skills so you know where all harmonic devices such as arpeggios, triads, modes etc live without a crutch on screen.

Moreover, you’ll learn how to actually use them to make music. Get my free “Cutting Edge Soloing” guide (link in bio) and start soloing for real. 🎸

If you’re struggling to understand the guitar neck, can’t play as fast as you want to, or generally feel like when you play it just doesn’t sound how you want it to, I’ve put together a completely free program that shows you how to overcome these problems at the link in my bio. Rock! 🤘🏻🎸🔥

If theory has got you absolutely bewildered and you want to see how to actually apply it to the guitar in a way that’s useful, smash the link in my bio.

I don’t like being told what to do. One of the few times in life I get to do whatever I want is when I’m jamming and improvising on the guitar. The thing is, I wasn’t always able to do that. I had to learn how to use the musical tools so I could be creative. I’ve put together a free program that shows you how I do it. If you want it, the link is in my bio 🤘🏻🎸🔥

Not every guitarist needs to be gigging, jamming, or in a band to count. Playing for the pure joy of it is a legitimate way to be a musician — no permission needed. 🎸

If you want to grow as a player and enjoy hamming in backing tracks without ever setting foot on a stage, the Scale Pyramid Method will help you actually understand the fretboard an solo with infinite possiblities instead of getting stuck in shapes. Link in bio.

Most guitarists buy a guitar and go straight for the diamond with a — “I want to sound like [insert hero]” attitude — and wonder why it never gets closer.

The players who actually get there stopped chasing the result and started loving the climb. Every scale shape, every interval, every ugly-sounding rep in the practice room is a step. Skip the steps and you’re just staring up at a column with no way to climb it.

I’ve always taught my students to change their mindset. Learn to love every bit of the journey. Funnily enough, when you can finally play your dream solo, you soon get bored of it. Doing the work, practicing, improving, that’s actually the fun part.

That’s the whole premise behind the Cutting Edge Guitar Institute — you don’t leap to fluent soloing. You build it, interval by interval, step by step, until the fretboard makes sense…and you’ll enjoy the hell out of your instrument all along the way!

Which one are you right now — staring at the diamond, or on the stairs? 👇
