About this pathway
A structured route from first chord to grade eight.
The electric guitar is about phrasing. Scales are just the alphabet; the music happens in how you bend, slide and leave space. We build lead and rhythm vocabulary across rock, blues and modern styles, with real attention to tone and the gear that shapes it.

How we teach it
- 01
Pentatonic and diatonic frameworks are introduced early, always through musical examples rather than dry exercises.
- 02
Phrasing — bending, vibrato, sliding, dynamics — is treated as the core skill, not an advanced add-on.
- 03
Rhythm work covers chord voicings, muting and locking with a drummer, essential for any ensemble playing.
By the end of the pathway
- Pentatonic and diatonic improvisation
- Expressive phrasing and bending technique
- Rhythm-guitar vocabulary and muting
