Found was little too quick on the shift in C major scale - took me a while to work out - otherwise great!

Brian's has an easy manner and is clear in what he is describing. The lessons are a great way to learn the fretboard and practise scales without being bored and tuning out. The PDFs are clearly laid out. I'm enjoying learning my scales!!

Great pace to keep up with. Brian's brings you back to some basic playing forms I tend to forget. Always good to go back to basics. Practice, practice, practice.

It is very easy to listen to Brian: he's very knowledgeable, a performer, music school graduate, and shares the pitfalls of his own learning experiences. It's like sitting down with a friend who wants you to succeed. [A little humor in his metaphors.] Well planned out class. He groups scale patterns together so you understand them - using natural, harmonic and melodic. The printouts of each scale are very useful. Watching his fingering - left and right hands answered all my questions. At the end he makes boring scales more interesting with introduction of meter, rhythm and dynamics. Invaluable class on scales to strength and grow callouses! Am taking several other of his classes. Thank you Brian.

So many classical guitarists are self-taught and as a result often neglect the fundamental techniques which can improve their playing so much. Learning and practicing scales is one way to get your fingers and hands working with really reliability and this course will give you a thorough grounding in every aspect of playing scales. Brian is a highly qualified instructor and his lessons are clear and easy to understand. I have had several years of one-to-one guitar lessons but what I love about these courses is the ability to go over and over the course material, pausing and replaying wherever you want to.
