Contemporary Guitar Improvisation is a tried and tested method based on five simple fingering patterns that form the foundation of the system.

With just the five patterns, the fingerboard completely opens up in a simple, logical way that eliminates the typical barriers we’ve all faced at one time or another. The guitar is unique among musical instruments because guitarists can change keys by simply changing positions. Almost everything we play is moveable (up or down), without having to change fingerings. That applies to chords too! Contemporary Guitar Improvisation takes full advantage of those unique properties of the instrument.
