Finger exercises to build strength, coordination, and clean fretting from the first session.
Symmetric Dominant Foundations
Learn Half–Whole Diminished through five authored symmetric positions, then apply its flat-nine, diminished, and thirteen colors to dominant resolution.
Each stage centers one musical target. Its activities stay grouped together so the course reads as a path through the fretboard, not a list of disconnected drills.
