Is the Fretboard a Mystery to You?
I'll get to the point in just a moment but I figure you'd want to know at least a little bit about the person talking to you... Well, my name's Aaron Carrington (that's me on the left!) and I created Carrington Guitar Academy which is based in Bath in the UK. And the reason for this website is because I used to have the exact problems I mentioned above when navigating the guitar fretboard and learning to solo. However... **drum roll* - I'm proud to say that that is no longer the case!
If I don't say so myself, these days I’m able to confidently play and improvise solos in a variety of keys and situations and I figured the best thing to do with all this knowledge (as well as actually playing!) would be to pass it on, so I created a program called Fretboard Freedom; an in person, personalised route to learning to play and improvise guitar solos effectively so that you can sound like a pro.
STEP 1
You'll learn about musician mindset; how to think like a musician to give you the best chance of success at playing whatever licks come your way.
STEP 2
You'll learn how to fine tune existing solos as well as map out your own with effective improvisational techniques.
STEP 3
You'll come to understand music as a language and create beautifully arranged guitar solos made to inspire the people around you.
The Basic Steps to Fretboard Freedom
Musician Mindset
As a professional guitarist, I can teach you to think about guitar solos how a professional guitarist would. There are things that successful improvisers all do that you can learn too. This approach isn't for the quick fixers and it does take time but it works.
One common pitfall is trying to create random licks with no purposeful structure or method. Does this sound like you? A lot of what get's passed off as 'natural talent' has a way simpler explanation; those guitar players have put effort into the right areas, consistently over time to see results.
There are tried and tested methods that can be learned by any guitarist who finds themselves stuck in a rut, once you know these things you simply repeat them regularly until you get better.
Of course, it's easy to go down the YouTube rabbit hole but as resourceful as it can be, it doesn't guarantee structure, accountability or high quality information
