Chris Sherland Guitar

Welcome to my channel!

I'm a guitar teacher with many years of experience both teaching and giging in bands. My goal here is to share the info that I have as well as help guitarists move through ruts or find inspiration.

I write TABs and notation for every video I upload so you can spend more than the 5-8 minutes in the video on a challenging or difficult subject. All those TABs can be found on my Patreon page. Please consider supporting me there if the content I produce inspires or helps you.

My deepest hope is that what I present and publish here is helpful for some guitarists. If it is then any effort I put in is worth it to me. I hope you find this channel interesting, and if you do, please consider subscribing.

Thank you!

-Chris

Big news here! I've been invited to participate in the first Marty Music Mountain Retreat! This will be a one of a kind experience and I am thrilled to be a part of it. The short take is that this is an all inclusive experience, the complete workshop schedule, lodging, food, live classes, jam sessions, it's all included and it's going to be a completely unforgettable time.

It'll be held in the Catskill mountains in NY Sept 9-12 and I'll be doing daily workshops along with all the other fantastic educators and performers.

All the info is here: www.martymusicmountainretreat.com/

Use the code CURIOUSGUITARIST to save $200 off of any of the registration packages, from tent camping to king size bed lodge accommodations. If you use this code you can also cash in on a free 30 minute private lesson with me at the event!

Spots are extremely limited so act soon!

And of course, if you DO sign up, you MUST come introduce yourself so we can hang and talk guitars!!

What do the solo from Hotel California and the tapping section of Eruption have in common? ARPEGGIOS!!!

Here's the last call to register for Arpeggio Mastery!

chrissherlandguitar.as.me/schedule/55757820

This 4-week, live course takes you from ZERO knowledge of arpeggios, to a working capability to play them ANYWHERE on the fretboard. At the same time you'll get a completely refreshed view of the fretboard in a way that no other study can provide!

This is a live course, held on Saturday mornings, with lecture, demonstration, and an online classroom. Students receive weekly assignments to complete and upload and get direct feedback from me. All in a positive and low-key environment.

If you have delayed learning arpeggios up till now, or just want a full deep dive to make sure you've covered it all, this course is for you!

Come join us!

Which one of these is an arpeggio?

Live Arpeggio mastery course this June...register now: chrissherlandguitar.as.me/schedule/55757820

Arpeggios are a staple technical capability, but they also provide a unique view into how harmony works and they expose the fretboard design through the lens of chord construction. They are used by virtually every famous guitarist in every style, so they aren't just for aficionados!

Do you REALLY know the major scale? chrissherlandguitar.as.me/MajorScaleMastery25

The major scale is the “yardstick” in music theory. It's architecture is literally the DNA material for every chord, scale, and arpeggio that can be named. It’s that fundamental.

I teach a live course designed to get the major scale under your fingers, across THE ENTIRE fretboard. But the course also provides all the context you need to actually UNDERSTAND the scale, not just play it.

The 4-week long live course is called Major Scale Mastery, and it will put you in complete control of this core structure.

We meet on 4 consecutive Saturday mornings (mountain time) starting on March 15, and the live sessions are all recorded in case you miss one. There's an online classroom, live office hours, and weekly assignments to practice and turn in.

If you haven't really invested in this type of educational deep dive, you might not know what you are truly capable of. There's one thing for certain and that is: this course will grow your capabilities as a musician, no doubt.
