Sarah Spisak has been making music theory fun and accessible for countless guitarists over the years. Her ground-breaking “Melodic Principles” course briefly covered a nine-note block system for mastering the modes and covering the entire fretboard with minimal time and effort. Now she has expanded on this innovative method and packed the course with fun-to-play exercises, solos and backing tracks.
