Fretboard Fluency

Hi, I'm Darius Gylys, a guitar instructor who has also spent years working in the IT field.
I understand the struggles of applying music theory to the fretboard—the fragmented knowledge makes the number of shapes you memorize feel overwhelming and unhelpful.
Through over 10 years of teaching adult guitar players, I've developed the Ultimate Fretboard Navigation Framework. This approach allows you to build any musical structure—from modes, arpeggios, and scales to chord voicings—across the entire fretboard in an intuitive, systematic way, always being aware of what is under your fingers and what alternative options you have.
The key is identifying essential information and presenting it to align with how our brains naturally understand and retain patterns.
My method has been tested by students at all levels ready to enhance their fretboard fluency.
If you're a rational thinker and problem-solver, let's master fretboard navigation and music theory together!


Fretboard Fluency

Hey friends!

I'm preparing something big for next week - a comprehensive case study/fretboard navigation workout on C Dorian. We'll explore the six reusable layers one by one, from A to Z. This might turn into a series (fingers crossed!).

It should significantly boost your fretboard awareness. All you need to do is stick with me and follow along. I'll showcase exactly how I visualize scales/modes as both horizontal and vertical structures on the fretboard. I hope this new video will eliminate all gaps in the predefined scope and serve you well!

Fretboard Fluency

Hi, friends,

Lately, I've posted 12 of step-by-step fretboard navigation course episodes at once. I didn't set subscriber notifications to keep your feed quiet. However, I wanted to let you know anyway, because the course has advanced significantly - it now covers the mutations of different triad kinds and reading chord changes from sheet (picking the optimal inversions). Now it has its own standalone value, even though it's unfinished. I hope this is what you need.
