Get “Break Out of the Box” — free

A short ebook that shows you how to master the fretboard with a fraction of the memorization — by connecting the five pentatonic boxes you half-know into one map. Inside:

  • The two shapes that generate every pentatonic box
  • The diagonal paths that connect the whole neck
  • Major ↔ minor with one visual move
  • A 10-minute daily routine to make it automatic

The fastest way to get started

Along with the ebook, your welcome email includes the Free Lesson Guide — two starting points into the 20 free lessons (play real solos, or master the whole fretboard), plus a 2-minute video if you’re not sure which fits you. Over the next week I’ll send a few more emails sharing the best free lessons and tools — and, no pressure, an honest look at your options if you want to go further.

You’ll also get the Fret Science newsletter — occasional updates from Keith. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.

What students say

The clearest and most practical path I’ve found for learning how to actually improvise on guitar. The visuals finally cracked the code for me after 17+ years.
Shane L.Playing 17 years · Hard & classic rock
Keith’s framework is totally unique — so straightforward, easy to grasp, and broadly applicable. I was improvising by the end of Module 1.
Lee C.Playing 1 year · Blues
This is the course I’ve been waiting for my whole guitar life. It makes a lot of sense and just fits my brain.
