IFR video course "Seven Worlds for Guitar"

Seven Worlds for Guitar

This transformational course goes beyond everything you have seen about how to learn the guitar. You will learn to understand the entire fretboard at once, allowing you to break out of memorized scale drawings and truly express yourself creatively.

You will master the seven harmonic environments of the major scale, which are the foundation of all modern music. And you'll learn to connect your ear with your instrument, expressing your own musical ideas anywhere on the fretboard. If you have always dreamed of truly understanding music and being able to improvise with complete freedom on the guitar, this is the course for you!

This course is for electric and acoustic guitarists of all styles. You do not need to know anything at all about music theory to begin, and you don't need to be able to read sheet music. This course will give you a solid foundation in both harmony and improvisation on the guitar that will serve you for the rest of your life.

Here are some of the skills you will learn:

  • Break free from memorized scale drawings. Learn to solo across the entire fretboard in any key.
  • Discover the inner workings of modern harmony and master improvising over all seven chords of the major scale.
  • Move beyond licks and patterns. Understand how music really works and create your own music right from the first day.
  • Learn how to add chords to your solos, improvising your own chord voicings anywhere on the fretboard.
  • Learn how to connect your ear with your instrument, playing sounds and melodies exactly as you hear them in your mind.
  • No prior knowledge of music theory or the IFR method is required. Everyone is welcome!

More than 5 hours of video lesson content

The total lesson time of this course is about 5 hours and 30 minutes. The course is divided into 18 lessons which are all approximately 15 to 20 minutes in length. Each lesson introduces the next level of the method, including step-by-step demonstrations and playing examples on the guitar. The lessons are accompanied by jam tracks that let you practice improvising in a real musical setting.

Learn from a professional guitarist and the creator of the IFR method

IFR instructor David

David Reed is the author of "Improvise for Real" and the creator of the IFR method. He is a professional guitarist based in New York City, and he has personally taught hundreds of IFR students in private lessons and workshops. He teaches a revolutionary approach to the fretboard that enables guitarists to more easily combine notes into melodies, scales and chord voicings, allowing them to develop a true mastery of harmony and express their own musical ideas anywhere on the fretboard.

IFR Jam Tracks Level 1: Seven Worlds

IFR Jam Tracks Level 1: Seven Worlds

This package also includes IFR Jam Tracks Level 1: Seven Worlds. This is a deep exploration of the seven harmonic environments of the major scale, which are the foundation of all modern music.

We composed each track to highlight the subtle differences that make each harmonic environment unique. This means that as you're jamming over these tracks, you'll also be learning to recognize each harmonic environment by ear.

 

Experience each harmonic environment in 3 totally different ways:

Meditative. The meditative tracks give you lots of space for deep contemplation of the sounds. These tracks are ideal for getting to know the sounds for the first time.

Modern. The modern tracks let you hear each harmonic environment in pop style like the music you hear on the radio. These tracks will help you discover the beautiful melodic possibilities that each harmonic environment offers you.

Jazz. The jazz tracks let you really stretch out and follow your imagination. These tracks provide the ideal environment for more intellectual or abstract playing. Use these tracks to push the limits of your playing, both creatively and physically.

All jam tracks are provided in all 12 keys

Every jam track in this collection is provided in all 12 keys. (That's 252 backing tracks in all.) If you're just starting out, you can build your confidence in the keys that are easiest for you to play. If you're more advanced, you can target just the keys that you need to work on. And for the rest of your life, anytime you need to practice a particular harmonic environment you'll have backing tracks in any key you need.

IFR Jam Tracks Level 2: Pure Harmony Essentials

IFR Jam Tracks Level 2: Pure Harmony Essentials

This package also includes IFR Jam Tracks Level 2: Pure Harmony Essentials. At this level you will begin improvising over your first chord progressions. This brings up a whole new experience for us as improvisers, which is to improvise melodically across the chords as they are changing. This is the moment when our improvising will begin to sound much more like the songs we hear on the radio, so it's an incredibly exciting step for us as musical artists.

 

Each jam track is a complete lesson

Each IFR jam track is actually a complete lesson in harmony and improvisation. Each jam track builds on concepts that you've already mastered in earlier jam tracks, and each track is accompanied by illustrations, teaching notes and practice tips.

There are 15 different chord progressions in this collection, and for each chord progression we give you backing tracks in all 12 keys. (That's 180 backing tracks in all.)
