Fingerboard Breakthrough is NOT a fingerstyle course, nor is it a solo guitar or method course. So what exactly is Fingerboard Breakthrough and why is it good for you? Fingerboard Breakthrough will enlighten your understanding of harmony and the fingerboard in a way that can only be described as “breakthrough.” The visualization techniques and triad applications in Fingerboard Breakthrough make it much easier to visualize and conceptualize chord construction, embellishment, and substitution, as well as voice leading techniques and advanced harmonic and improvisational concepts.

Check out these lessons from Howard Morgen’s Fingerboard Breakthrough, in which Howard shares key systems, shapes and approaches that will realize your own breakthrough. Plus, there’s more epiphanies where these came from as well in the full course. So gear up to learn from the master!

In addition to all of Howard’s systems, the full course presents the concepts in a musical context for optimal comprehension. He uses very familiar songs, progressions and melodies as excerpts, chord accompaniments and solo instrumentals, depending on the topic being discussed and demonstrated. Want more?
