The first lesson, Pentatonic Arpeggiated Chords, dives into using arpeggios creatively across the neck. In this session, Tony explores how to apply pentatonic arpeggios to classic tunes like “Blackberry Blossom,” teaching you techniques to effortlessly move up and down the fretboard and even skip positions for added flair. Each exercise and example is provided in detailed tablature, making it easy to follow along and practice at your own pace.

The second addition, D Tuning: You Know More Than You Think You Know, is designed to demystify the process of transposing tunes from G to D tuning. Tony shows how simply shifting familiar licks down a string can open up a whole new world in D, making it accessible to players who may feel daunted by the tuning change. This lesson empowers students to broaden their repertoire by transferring familiar sounds and shapes, proving that you might already know more than you think!

Both lessons come with a rich selection of supplemental materials, including full tablature and a unique practice experience with Tony’s performance isolation videos. With three different camera angles and adjustable playback speed, students can now tailor their learning experience more closely than ever. The ability to loop specific sections makes mastering complex passages easier, ensuring that every student can progress confidently at their own pace.
