Course Description

It's like GPS for your fingerboard!

Weighing in at just under 50 lessons and taught by top UK session guitarist, Bobby Harrison, FretHub's Learning The Neck course is a valuable, in-depth study into mapping out the fretboard and unlocking the entire neck of the guitar.

If you’ve always wanted to instantly locate each note on the neck, play any chord or any major, minor, pentatonic or blues scale in any key, all over the neck, this series of videos is for you. Note-finding exercises and visualisation formulas are covered as well as the famous CAGED system. The CAGED system enables you to play any chord or scale by recalling just 5 shapes. It’s also very useful for soloing as well as aiding songwriting and composition.

You can choose to study this module in its entirety or use it as reference material, dipping in and out while you continue to study the other lessons Frethub has available. Either way, this course will soon have you flying effortlessly all over the neck.

This course is essential viewing for anybody who really wants to gain a full understanding of how all the chords and shapes and scales relate to each-other. It will provide you with the solid grounding that is needing to go on and study other styles in more depth such as Jazz and Country which are all founded on these same principles

remedial for where I am at in my guitar experience. I have been playing since I was 8. I am 44, bur I took off playing from 17 to 42 to become an engineer/producer. piddled for two years, and have been serious for the last 6 months. during those 25 years I produced several house music/techno records, recorded many bands, and also played in three hip-hop bands as the bass player, editor, engineer and co-producer

By Ade Otukoya on 6/5/2019

A lot of caged courses out there don’t give the depth need to to give you all you need in this heavy topic, from Octave shapes, to notes on neck, major, minor scales chords all over the neck. When I have it a chance my visualization has gotten a lot better. If you a worried about chord diagrams and tabs just find them on google, the visualization of the teaching is really huge. Be patient.

I have been playing guitar intuiting it by ear mostly just to accompany my singing. But now, I'm finally learning what I have been intuiting, and it's all finally making great logical sense! So glad I'm in this course!!!

By Michael Brooker on 3/30/2018

Very helpful and thorough CAGED knowledge presented here - even for an experienced guitarist. I found that while I had already had learnt quite a bit of CAGED stuff, this had lots of things I didn't know. Bobby is a very good tutor and he explains things very well. A very useful set of guitar playing skills to be gleaned.

By Julio Jesus Guerrero Deschamps on 1/19/2018

This course is great at explaining how to locate notes on a guitar's neck, as well as teaching hand shapes to quickly identify and play scales. Highly recommended, and the teacher's great!

By Echo Simanjuntak on 1/1/2018

this is a great course, you will learn how to remember the note in guitar neck, scales and modes. If you want to be a guitarist, you must have knowledge about scales and modes. Just hoping that maybe will be more exercise in this course.

By Mark Prichard on 11/26/2017

Good mix of theory and practical exercises, helpful tips on alternative chord shapes for playing up the neck and good pacing. Great presenter and nicely-paced: lot of material here and a great way to structure your practice.

By Mark Ward on 7/20/2017

Already starting to see the patterns and shapes and learning a lot. Really wish that i'd taken the time to get this down sooner but it's progression from here on in. Looking forward to completing this course and taking my learning and development onto other courses.

By Nana Darko on 3/27/2017

Best course so far that I've come across online for explaining the CAGED system with many alternative ways to play the chords/scales so that you do not give up. FretHub team did an excellent job!

By Dew on 8/29/2016

This class was very engaging although it requires more practice and theory I honestly believe it will take you to the next level of your playing skills
