You’ll learn position-shifting techniques that keep lines smooth at any tempo, chromatic approaches that add sophistication and forward motion, substitution concepts that give you freedom over minor harmony, and the practical secrets to connecting phrases seamlessly—no awkward stops or hesitations.

Stuart gives you a complete solo study that brings all these ideas together in musical context, Real vocabulary you’ll use, not just fingerboard exercises.
