NO FLUFF: Every lesson has a purpose.
They show you how to play the scales but not how to use them.
They explain what the modes are, but not when to use them
They never explain how to connect all 7 modes together to form one complete system
They leave out how to build chord progressions in each mode that actually capture its unique sound. (this is literally the most important aspect of learning modes!)
They teach you one position but don’t show you how to play across the entire fretboard in any key
Understand Modal Chord Progressions
This is the #1 most important lesson in the entire course. Without it, modes will never “click.”
Connect Modes Across the Entire Fretboard
Learn how and why the neck connects—and navigate it effortlessly
Build Modal Chord Progressions
Learn the unique chord relationships of modes, so you can write songs in any mode
Recognize Modes Instantly
Quickly identify the mode of a song or backing track, and solo over it with confidence.
Make Modes Musical
Go beyond scales—turn modes into music with practical tools, exercises, short licks, and real-world demonstrations.

You won’t be practicing alone. I play every exercise with you, counting each cycle so you always know where you are.
If we’re repeating an exercise 8 times, I’ll let you know exactly when we’re on cycle 3, 4, and how many are left—so you can focus on playing, not keeping track.
These exercises aren’t random. Each one is carefully designed to help you:
Learn the scale shapes for each mode
Navigate the modes on any string, any position, in any key
Target the most melodic notes in every scale.
Repetitive exercises can get boring.
That’s why the backing tracks not only make them sound great, but also help you 'hear' the sound of each mode in your head.
When practice feels fun, you’ll actually look forward to it—
and that’s the key to mastering any technique or concept.

Each exercise is played at a comfortable pace that’s easy to follow.
Beginners / intermediates can follow along
Advanced players won't get bored
If you need it slower (or faster), you can adjust the video speed controls to match your level.
They sound awesome, and are really fun to improvise over (I've spent hours jamming on them)
Designed to work perfectly with everything you've practiced, so you can start experimenting and applying the modes right away
Highlight the unique vibe and sound of each mode, helping you truly hear and feel the character of every scale

"Roy's Guitar Modes Navigator is quite simply the most useful guitar course I have ever taken.
On completing the course, I now see the entire fretboard in a completely new and refreshing way. I feel much more comfortable playing scales anywhere on the fretboard, using the mode patterns as starting points, or producing the unique sounds of a mode for any key in any position.
The course has allowed me to hugely increase my ability to express the sounds in my head on the fretboard. I can also now hear an artist's song and quickly understand what key it is in, what scale is being used, and what notes I can improvise over it.
Roy's approach is quite unique in that he always comes back to practical ways to play the guitar. So, even though he clearly understands the theory in amazing depth, and does explain modes from a theoretical perspective, he focuses more on practical ways to play modes using pattern shapes across the fretboard.
From this starting point, he then introduces concepts like chord tones, scale sequences, linear sequences, triads within modes and other musical ideas as a natural extension of the earlier ideas. It all makes complete sense.
The course really has opened my eyes to how the guitar 'works'. Courses that introduce each individual mode can get quite repetitive, but Roy has avoided this by using really nice backing tracks that make the exercises sound very musical. I ended up improvising over the exercise backing tracks, because they sounded so good! He also introduces custom licks for each mode that really bring out their character. The licks are not difficult because they fit exactly into the mode pattern being introduced, but they are incredibly musical.
In short, I cannot recommend the course enough!"
"Wow, this is a fantastic course, probably the only one on guitar modes that you'll ever need. Roy teaches comprehensive understanding with exercises to build experience and mastery of the topic which has historically been stressful, confusing, and hard to understand and apply for many.
His method is easy to understand, and more importantly, he shows you how to practice and apply modes to the guitar immediately. I was looking for a way to help me understand how to use modes and the way Roy teaches dramatically shortened the learning curve.
There's no going back to confusion and frustration after taking this course. You can't unlearn this stuff once he connects the dots. If you learn and apply what he teaches, you'll sound like you know what you are doing because you will see what you are doing. This course reduced the stress of trying to "figure it out", boosted my confidence, and made playing guitar much more fun!"
"Information is fantastic! The order is logical, messages are to the point, this can save a lot of players many many hours of frustration.
This course will make a huge difference on how you visualize and connect the fretboard right away. A very practical approach on how to understand and exploit each modal sound, but at the same time it will simply improve how you play guitar in many other ways.
Layering chord tone arpeggios over 3NPS scale patters is an instant eye opener. Can't thank you enough Roy!"

I recently launched this course, so I don’t have too much data yet. However, several students have already completed the entire course in just 3 days, and many others are 50% through in under a week.
If you watch a few videos each day and practice the exercises, you could complete the course—and fully understand everything—within a week. But if you want to power through it, you can finish in 3 days.
This feature is currently being added - and will be fully available within 2 weeks!!
While the audio is in English, the on-screen captions (subtitles) can be changed to the following languages:
English
Spanish (coming soon)
Chinese (coming soon)
French (coming soon)
Italian (coming soon)
Korean (coming soon)
If your language is not currently supported, please send a request to [email protected]
This course focuses exclusively on the modes of the major scale—Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, and Locrian.
These are the most widely used and popular modes in modern music, and mastering them will give you the tools to navigate the fretboard and play over nearly any chord progression.
*I may add a short bonus section on modes of the Harmonic minor scale at a later future date for free.
I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, because I’m confident this course will completely transform your playing, and you’ll find it incredibly useful.
But if, for any reason, you feel it’s not for you, simply email us at [email protected], and we’ll issue a full refund.
Your refund gets processed within a few hours and takes about 1 - 7 business days for you bank, or PayPal account to receive the refund, after we have processed your request.
This is a one-time payment—no subscriptions, no recurring fees. Once you purchase the course, it’s yours forever.
You get lifetime access to the course, including all updates and additions I make in the future.
I wouldn’t recommend this course for complete beginners. If you can play basic chords, a few songs, and simple scales or solos, you’ll do great with this course.
You don’t need to be intermediate or advanced to benefit, but intermediate and advanced players will find this course eye-opening and transformative.
You can download the tabs, scale shapes, and backing tracks to practice offline.
However, the video lessons require an internet connection and can only be streamed while online.
You can use any device to access the course: Laptop, Computer, Phone, Tablet.
Everything taught in this course works on both electric and acoustic guitars. However, the exercises were designed for electric guitar.
Some high-fret exercises might be difficult on an acoustic guitar, especially without a cutaway. You can play these exercises an octave lower, but you won’t be able to follow along with the video demonstrations note-for-note.
My suggestion: If you don’t have an electric guitar, consider renting one for 2 weeks while you go through the course. Once you’ve understood and mastered the concepts, you can transfer everything you’ve learned to your acoustic guitar.
The course is 7 hours long—it’s the most in-depth and comprehensive course I’ve ever released.
My incredible support team is here to help. Simply email Jack at [email protected], and he’ll respond within a few hours to get you back on track.
