Plus Learn the 3 Biggest Mistakes That Will Save You Years of Frustration While You're Practicing Guitar Scales...
Dear guitarist,
Let me ask you...
Would you rather receive chinese torture than practice boring guitar scale patterns all day long?
Does it feel like you're still light years away from mastering
the neck?
Have you ever wondered if there's a faster, easier, "funner" way to learn guitar scales?
If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above, you're in the right place my friend because I'm going to show you how to make guitar scale practice three times more effective and fun!
I'm about to share 6 powerful
keys that you can use to immediately
improve your mastery of guitar scales.
The most exciting news is that I've forged these 6 keys into a new
software program that will absolutely turbocharge your progress
so you can seize control of an entire scale, everyone on the neck, like a true master.
It's called the Guitar Scale System
and it's about to turn your computer screen into an intense, exciting guitar training system
(that's actually fun and easy to use).
Think of it as your virtual "guitar scale
coach". It's designed to help you demolish any limitations you have around knowing
your guitar scales. This lets you soar towards your potential as a lead guitarist.
Introducing: The Guitar Scale System
Listen... If you want be a lead guitarist,
you got to learn your scales. I would advise any aspiring guitarist:
Learn Your Core Scales Like A and E Pentatonic All Over the Fretboard. Its the Fastest Way To Rule The Guitar!
I'm not inventing any silly theories here.
Joe Satriani, Scale Maestro
Great teachers and virtuosos like Joe Satriani have always
emphasized the importance of learning complete scales, everywhere on the neck.
As simple as that sounds, most of us
are guilty of Guitar Scale Mistake #1: Too many scales and keys
without ever deeply mastering a single scale. This is a huge mistake
that most guitarists seem to make, even if they've been playing
for decades!
So ask yourself: Do you really know your scales, cold,
inside and out, backwards and forwards, upside down and in your sleep?
At least 99% of guitarists need work on this. But the good news
is that you don't need to learn a hundred scales.
Pick one or two of your favorite ones and go deep
on them.
That way, you are learning entire fretboard patterns.
The Guitar Scale System is the exact tool you need to master
entire fretboard patterns completely, in record time.
Here's another practice tip:
Use Killer Backing Tracks So You Can Learn to Use Scales Melodically and Harmonically
There's nothing like having a nice backing track to practice with.
Not only is this a lot more enjoyable, but it helps your development
as a musician 10 times more than playing alone.
This brings us to:
Guitar Scale Mistake #2: Not making real music out of the scales.
Only practicing a scale in a real musical setting is
going to help you learn how to use a scale in a real musical setting!
Just going up and down the scales will make you a very BORING lead guitarist!
That's why you need backing tracks, so you can play interesting melodies...
Fortunately, Guitar Scale System includes hundreds of them in every key with
many additional bonus tracks. (You can also turn the backing tracks
off if you want to just focus on learning a pattern.)
Another pitfall for players is:
Guitar Scale Mistake #3: Mindlessly repeating scale patterns.
A lot of guitar scale practice is very inefficient because we tend
to play the same things over and over.
To use scales correctly, we have to use them musically but also
keep stretching ourselves to master the entire fretboard.
With that in mind, let's dive into the 6 keys to scale mastery:
Scale Mastery Key #1: Memorize Your Scale Patterns
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #1
Obviously, if you want to be a scale maestro, you're gonna have to
learn a few patterns :)
For pentatonics, there's 5 basic positions. For diatonic scales,
there's 14 because positions can overlap.
The guitar scale
system will not only "show you" the right patterns, but you'll
get to "jam along" with it.
In the "playing in various positions" practice mode as
shown in the pic above, you'll be able playing to a backing track,
while the computer switches the positions every 30 seconds with
an optional voice prompt ("SWITCH").
Yep, your 'virtual coach' will help you gain the critical
ability to switch quickly and easily between positions on the neck.
Scale Mastery Key #2: Learn to Jump to Anywhere on the Neck
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #2
Knowing your patterns cold and being able to solo within each
one of them and switch at a moment's notice... THAT'S ONLY THE FIRST STEP!
Next we need to be able to see or think of any area of the neck,
and also instantly know what pattern it is!
The "playing in various areas" practice mode will let
us master this very ability.
Scale Mastery Key #3: Learn to Switch Direction In the Blink of an Eye
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #3
Knowing the patterns and the neck is a great foundation. Next you need
to further hone your skills so you can improvise in a scale and
move your hand in any direction without losing your way on the neck
at all.
Guess what, we have a practice mode for you just for that.
The "Switching Direction" practice mode will have
you moving in a new direction every 15 seconds with a visual
prompt and optional voice prompt.
Scale Mastery Key #4: Know the Building Block Shapes And How They Interlock Together
This is another way you can go beyond just learning
"patterns". Every pattern can be broken down into
smaller patterns.
I call these the "building block shapes".
You can learn these raw shapes and understand how the interlock together
to form the total picture of the scale on the whole neck.
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #4
This will further enhance and solidify your absolute mastery of the neck
because you wont have any uncertainties about the shape.
They'll be no part of your mind trying to learn and explore the relationship
between the shapes because you'll have already learned it already. So you'll be
free to be more "at one" with your guitar.
In the "find the shape" practice mode, you're still jamming over a backing
track in your favorite tempo and key, but this time you'll have to find each
specific shape with the entire fretboard pattern.
I can almost guarantee you've never practiced this way before. But
we're not done yet. Next is:
Scale Mastery Key #5: Learn Your Scales On Single Strings, As Double Stops, And Beyond...
In the "specific strings" practice mode, you'll alternate between practicing
scales on certain individual strings, playing scales in double stops, or even
playing on 2 non-adjacent strings (like the A and B strings).
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #5
This will stretch your ability to see and play the scale everywhere on the neck.
By the time you learn this scale in such detail, you'll be tearing up
the guitar, believe me.
Scale Mastery Key #6: See the Entire Fretboard As One Monster Pattern
If you can see the entire fretboard as one big pattern,
that is the ultimate in visualization mastery.
The Guitar Scale System makes it easy to view, learn,
and memorize an entire scale pattern. It will generate any scale
you want and show you the complete neck diagram while you're jamming to a backing track of any key.
Guitar Scale System Practice Mode #6
So you're free to experiment with different scales and you'll
get a great "feedback learning loop" by playing along with the
fretboard diagram.
The bottom line is, you take any key, like C major, E pentatonic,
and drill it on these 6 practice modes for 15 minutes every day
for 30 days, you're going to be well on your way to dominating
the neck.

"Rule the Neck 300% Faster." Triple Your Mastery of Guitar Scales
And Have a Blast Doing It!
Here's
a Quick 1 Minute Video that Explains How the
Nervous System Controls your Guitar Playing
This advanced guitar teaching system trains your mind and body on multiple levels, by integrating the 4 modalities of learning:
1.Multiple Visual Patterns
2.Cutting-edge Kinesthetics
3.On-the-spot Analytical Training & Drilling
4.Cool sounding Audio jam tracks and more!
This System Has 2 Main Components
1. Mental Training
2. Physical Training
The first
phase is the mental training. This is where we
make learning scales fun! And when you're
having fun, things feel easy, right? The fact is
almost guitarist can improve his mastery of the
fretboard by knowing the scales on a deeper level.
THE PROBLEM
IS THAT ATTAINING SCALE MASTERY IS USUALLY A LONG
AND BORING PROCESS.
I asked
myself, "how can I make it easier and faster
to really get these scales under my fingers?" Then
I thought back to high school when I used to make
flash cards to cram for a test. You simply put
everything on flash cards, and cycle through them
until you have it memorized.
I used this
concept to build the guitar scale system.
Essentially,
the mental phase of the guitar scale system is
a web-based tool that drills and grills you in
various practice
modes.
First, you
choose what scale you want to practice, and in
what key. Then you can choose what kind of jam
track you want to play over. There's 20 different
backing tracks, each in 12 keys, for a total of
240 possible jam tracks (and more coming soon).
Then, you
choose the practice mode.
PRACTICE
MODE #1: Entire neck - this practice mode just
has you playing all over the neck as one big pattern. This gives you a bird's eye view of the entire neck and creates new connections every time you practice it.
PRACTICE
MODE #2: Specific patterns - here's where
the flash card idea comes in -every 30 seconds
you'll be playing in a different pattern,
and you can choose between traditional scale patterns
and more advanced 3-note-per-string and even 4-note-per-string
patterns.
You don't even
have to think about what to practice next. Every
30 seconds, you'll be shown a different pattern,
so you'll
be forced to learn tons of different patterns in a very short
period of time.
PRACTICE
MODE #3: Specific areas of the neck - you'll
be challenged to have your fingers fall
into the scale anywhere on the neck. You'll
have to switch areas every 15 seconds.
PRACTICE
MODE #4: Switching direction - In this practice
mode, you'll solo anywhere you want on the
neck, and have to move either up or down the fretboard,
or to a higher or lower string, every 15 seconds... It's another challenging and powerful exercise.
PRACTICE
MODE #5: Specific strings - You'll have to
solo just on either 1 or 2 strings, switching every
30 seconds. This will be challenging since the
2 strings might not next to each
other!
PRACTICE
MODE #6: Find the shape - This mode will take your mastery to the next level by having you play just certain
scale shapes, and switching every 15 seconds.
By using
these 6 practice modes, your guitar scale knowledge
will dramatically improve.
You'll hard-wire entire
fretboard scale patterns into your mind automatically. Honestly, I've never seen
anything like this system and I plan to use it personally to
take my scale mystery to the next level.
And because
there are cool jam tracks, you'll be doing
more than just memorizing scales. You'll
actually be using them in a musical context, while
at the same time hitting them from every angle.
Not only that, the jam tracks will make
the entire process fun and enjoyable.
The Physical Phase Training
The physical
phase uses some of the most cutting-edge
training research available today. It uses million-dollar
research that the Russians were using back in the '76
and '80 Olympics to dominate the world championships
(They won 147 gold medals).
That's
why we call it: The Russian Nervous System
Training. This is a totally new way to practice guitar. easily triples the speed of
your improvements compared to conventional guitar practicing.
Best of
all: it actually downloads these new skills
DEEP into your nervous system. And then, whenever you're
playing on stage or in front of friends "you'll
be able to INSTANTLY access the techniques you've
learned effortlessly.
The 3 Components
of the Physical System Training:
Physical Training Component #1: The Nervous System Protocol.
This guide is incredibly simple yet amazingly cutting edge. It took Virtuwul years to distill the essence of the world-class training he received into an powerful fail-proof formula for guitarists. Don't be deceived by how simple the 11 step formula is... Just put it to the test and you'll experience the results first-hand.
Physical Training Component #2: The Nervous system Drills.
We've included 25 awesome drills to get you started. Each drill integrates a different skill or technique inside your nervous system. I suggest that you do 1 or 2 of these a day with the protocol. Next thing you know, you'll have an ultra-deep bag of tricks that will blow away anyone who listens to you.
Plus we're going to be uploading new drills all the time to practice.
Physical Component #3: The Automated Nervous System Training Technology
This is a part of the online system. Until now, there was nothing designed to fully automate this simple yet powerful method. Now, you just have to "push the button" and follow the protocol. It's that easy.
Here's How You Can Become a REAL Guitar God In A Third Of The Time
By drilling your nervous system in the tradition of the Russian athletes, you'll be creating new, clean neural pathways for the skills, chops, and licks you want to learn. Then, you'll forge a deep neural-groove.
Finally, you'll hit the "90% excitation level" that forces your nervous system to download new skills deep into your body.
This is the key to absolute mastery. This is
the "Joe-Satriani-Steve-Vai" zone.
The difference is, they did it by practicing
12 hours a day. With the new Guitar Scale System you'll
be able to get to that level in a third of
the time they did (or less).
Another
great aspect is: it only takes 15
minutes a day!
If you use the Russian nervous system training
for 15 minutes a day, you'll make HUGE improvements
in a matter of weeks.
Sounds wild?
Absolutely! However, it's based on decades
of million dollar sports research. My friend
and fellow guitar teacher, Virtuwul, experienced
it first-hand when he got trained using this technology
in self-defense.
We are the
first to bridge the gap between advanced athletics
training and guitar playing. We think that the
majority
of guitar players in the future will
be using
this method to improve their skills.
Enjoy These 2 Cool Bonuses . . .
Cool Bonus #1 - Circle of 5ths Jam Tracks:
We've also added some "circle of fifths" progressions (in 5 different tempos) that will have you soloing in all 12 keys. This kind of "all keys" progression is a favorite that Joe Satriani likes to give to his students. When you combine this with the various practice modes (such as specific strings), it can be quite challenging, and it will bring your scale mastery to dizzying heights.
Cool Bonus #2 - Nervous System Secrets of Professional Athletes:
As an extra bonus, Virtuwul has revealed some great simple secrets that will get your body and nervous system in tip-top shape. What's great is, you'll feel like a million bucks when you do it!
Isn't It About Time You Became a Guitar Scale Wizard?
Remember,
you DON'T need to learn dozens of scales to become a guitar scale wizard.
It's much easier and better to know a few crucial scales REALLY, REALLY WELL.
And the guitar scale system is designed to get you there as fast
as possible... and its fun too.
Take the 30 Day Challenge
Here's my challenge
to you: Use the guitar scale system for just 15 minutes a day for 30 days.
Pick just one scale, but use all the practice modes. After 30 days, you will own
that scale and you'll be dominating the neck with it!
If you don't absolutely agree that
you're getting great results from this software, just ask us for a no-hassle
refund and you'll get it.
Maximize Your Practice Time, Learn Your Scales Deep And Have a Blast!
Try the system.
Give it an honest shot for 30 days. If you're consistent,
(which I think won't be that hard because the jam tracks
and practice modes
will make it fun and entertaining), THEN WATCH OUT FOR A SERIOUS TRANSFORMATION...
You
will experience some shocking improvements in your
fretboard powers.

Ken Hill, Moorpark, California
"Your phrasing is quite good and that is often an
elusive skill to develop. Even
the real virtuosos often have difficulty
with this subtly. It was refreshing
to hear most of your leads being
bite sized, digestible musical
ideas for the ear, as opposed to
the mindless flurries of notes
you so often hear. Interesting
as to the playing from the ear
and not the fingers. You come off
as a likeable man and that might
be the most important thing of
all. Very often one will watch
a video - and I have them all from
Russ Cooley to Brian May, and it
will be very difficult to relate
to the player. Your tone is good
and unique, and your playing seems
very competent. I think the material
that you've provided is excellent
stuff!"
Michael Melman, Guitar Teacher, Manalapan, New Jersey
"Your playing is very good, and very natural. It
is inspirational watching you play
and then break down what you are
thinking and how you're approaching
it. As I said I have been playing
for 16 years but have been stuck
in a rut... playing the same
scales, the same licks... it all
just sounds the same. I have needed
to get to the next level and get
off this plateau and I think your
program gives me an opportunity
to do just that. Thanks very much
Claude!"
Scott Seward, Ann Arbor Vermont
"Thank you so much for these! Wonderful! You are
a genius! Thanks Again! "
Jodie Hernandez
"Hello Mr. Claude Johnson, I received your 2-disk
DVD course a few days ago. I found
that there is a LOT of good, practical,
information there. I thought I
would let you know that until now,
despite a 20 years as a rock drummer
(and being around good guitarists),
1 year of recent private guitar
lessons, and a large guitar library,
I have had a lot of trouble figuring
out how to play fluently around
the fretboard. These patterns just
seemed unrelated and unconnected
to me. However, various learning
concepts you presented helped make
that mental connection for me.
The rest of my guitar library did
not do that. As of yesterday, I
am playing all over the fret board.
Many thanks. "
John E. Baker, Ph.D., P.E , Las Vegas, NV
"Thanks Claude. I am appreciating the video, it
is beginning to 'gel', the secret
for me is to combine it with the
book you provide, and some practice.
Cheers, have a good Easter. "
Aidan Bent, UK
"I want to thank you for developing a good course
and I feel that you are a very
kind and considerate person. I
will keep you up to date on my
learning development."
Michael J. Malley
"Recieved your course today... well impressed, & i'm
only 45 minutes in . Let you know
of my progess once ive really sat
down & studied it to the maximum.
I'm really Excited im in the hands
off some off the best guitarists
in the world & it will save me
a hell of a lot off information
searching which at times i'm sure
you'll agree what you're looking
for isnt always in the book at
hand even if like me you have an
array Over 60 to 70 books on the
subject. This is the edge i've
been looking for you've set my
guitar on a better coarse & given
me direction cheers."

"I can't thank you enough, u play a mean guitar.
Thanks for the inspiration."
James Cantrell
"I have to say that my nephew in California emailed
me your website as a great way
to learn the guitar. He picked
it up several years ago. I have
made more progress in 10 minuets
on your two lessons than I have
with the 2 cd/books I bought and
one other online trial lesson I
tried 2 weeks ago."
Thanks, Ralph
"Hi Claude! Thanks alot for the videos - this is

seen a lot of talent {and waste
of as well} Your playing , technique
and attitude are excellent."
Paul Abrams, California
" THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. Just from watching
the videos I've gotten better and
I've been playing since I was 9.
I used to just be a vocalist and
maybe play guitar from time to
time but you made it so easy. I
have to admit I was pretty skeptically
about an Internet video ... BUT
IT WORKED. I've been from teacher
to teacher for years. Tell anybody
who is considering this to not
hesitate at all... CLAUDE JOHNSON
IS A GUITAR GOD!!!"
Evan Clark
"Dear Claude,
It is indeed an amazing package
for whatever skill level you are

missed along the way. It's investment
in your skills, not an expense. Something
this caliber won't last at this price
level. You should not miss this once-in-lifetime
opportunity to progress in your beloved
guitar. You worked hard and have
over the top teaching material. It
will go from there. Good luck, you
won't need that now, just hard work."
