Volume 1:
Find any note on the fret board without the use of a chart. Scales? We’ll cover major & minor scales, minor pentatonic & blues scales. What about chords? You’ll learn basic chords plus many “cool” chords in addition to power chords. You’ll be able to find any major chord, minor chord, even dominant 7th, or power chord on the neck without using a chord book.

We’ll show you how to read rhythmic notation (up to 8th notes) and use it for strumming patterns. You’ll be jamming 12 bar blues and playing licks that use the pentatonic & blues scales.

We’re not finished! We’ve even added 12 chord progressions for you to have fun with. And this volume comes with an jam-along CD so you can strut those new chords and licks!

Volume 2:
In this volume you’re going to learn how to move or “transpose” all of the scales you learned in Volume 1 into different keys.

You’ll be able to figure out what chords go with any given key (chord harmony).

Also, You’ll be able to match major & minor scales in the same key (relative minor), as well as borrow notes or chords from different keys (parallel). You’ll get deeper into reading and playing rhythmic notation (up to 16th notes) and use it for some cool funk riffs as well as other jams.

We’ve also got some other monster goodies packed in there like hammer-on and pull-off techniques, harmonics, and new blues/rock licks. Of course you’ll love the jam CD that’s included.

When you’re done with this one you’ll be saying “how ya like me know?!”

Volume 3:
This is where we start to get into the nitty-gritty!

This volume is jam-packed with intervals, building scales (scale spelling) and advancing scales (harmonic minor, major pentatonic).

You’ll even learn the chord harmony and licks for Harmonic minor. Also there are licks for major pentatonic. You’ll also take your knowledge of triads to a new Monstrous level by learning triad inversions, triad over bass note, arpeggio forms!

Getting stuck playing only bar chords? We’ll show you how to break out and explore how to use triads just like guitar Monsters Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh, Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan and many more! This volume is great for songwriters & those of you that want more insight, details & options.

Of course you get a jam CD to go with all the cool new things you’ve learned!

Volume 4:
Start turning heads with your guitar playing!!!

This is another great one for songwriters looking for some new ideas for their songs, something to give them a step up, get them on the cutting edge.

Here, you’ll get the benefit of learning advanced chord harmony (quartal harmony with 7th chords, voicings for major7, dominant7, minor7, minor7 b5, and diminished 7 chords). We’ll show you the meaning of all of that sus2, add9, minor7b5 stuff, and how it will benefit you.

What is the key signature for A major? How many sharps and flats does it have? You’ll have no problem with that answer (circle of 5ths).

There’s even more songwriting and jamming ideas (secondary dominance, polyrhythms, odd meter). Once again you get a jam CD for you to test drive your new chops.

Volume 5:
Become a MONSTER guitar player!!!!

This volume summed up in one word: MODES! Everything you ever wanted to know about modes but were afraid to ask! It’s all here & it’s made so simple you’ll love it! We’ll show you all 7 modes, the chord harmony for each one, how to connect them together in the same key (relative), or how to change keys & go from one mode to another (parallel).

There are even a couple of pentatonic scales that you can use with them. This volume is perfect for songwriters, lead guitar players, and all of you jam-band axe slingers. The jam CD included lets you really explore the modes.

This is John’s personal favorite, one he’s especially excited about. Once you master this one, you’ll be a nasty licks-ninja, jamming Jedi knight, guitar guru - a MONSTER guitar player!!
