About this course
TrueFire Foundry courses are independently produced courses presented by a hand-picked selection of top-notch artists and educators from around the world. Filmed in the educator’s own studio, Foundry courses bring fresh educational concepts and very effective teaching methodologies to TrueFire Students. Darryl Gabel’s Foundry course, Fretboard Intensive Training will show you how to expand your visual command of the fretboard.
Hello I'm Darryl Gabel — welcome to my TrueFire Foundry course, Fretboard Intensive Training, which I produced in my own studio.
Over the years of teaching I've found that many students struggle with visualizing scale patterns. I've developed a system of exercises that will help you to see the entire scale matrix in your mind's eye or as you look at the fretboard. This will enable you to create patterns that you might not normally play and traverse the fretboard in any direction with virtually no boundaries.
If you learn a new pattern you will be able to see the diatonic development superimposed on the scale matrix. This is useful not only in improvisation but composition as well.
These melodic exercises will also give you tons of ideas for creating your own lines and licks. I also cover common yet essential tools every guitarist should use such as string dampening, motion efficiency, and proper angles for achieving a greater reach.
In addition to this I will show you exercises that will help you develop finger independence, speed, accuracy, and endurance. This is a must have for any serious guitarist no matter what style of playing.
Over 100 examples and 78 fretboard diagrams are provided along with many backing tracks to help you achieve fretboard domination.
Ready to get started? Grab your guitar and let’s get FIT with Fretboard Intensive Training!
NOTE! Derryl Gabel organized the course into 8 weekly sections for those students that prefer to have a specified regimen of material across a specified time schedule. However, for those students who prefer to work at their own pace, or even skip around you are certainly encouraged to approach the course in that way as well.

Fretboard Intensive Training
Over the years of teaching I've found that many students struggle with visualizing scale patterns. In this two and a half hour course, I cover exercises that I have developed that will help you to see the entire scale matrix in your mind's eye or as you look at the fretboard. This will enable you to create patterns that you might not normally play and traverse the fretboard in any direction with virtually no boundaries.

This is a must have for any serious guitarist no matter what style of playing. Over 100 examples and 78 fretboard diagrams are provided as well as backing tracks to help you achieve fretboard domination and get FIT on guitar!
Week 1: Guitar Setup
Here I'll talk a little bit about the guitar I'm using and how it's setup.
Week 1: Placement and Angles
Here I give suggestions for fret hand and picking hand placement and angles to achieve comfort, efficiency, and maximum reach.
Week 1: String Dampening
Here I'll discuss the two handed string dampening approach I use to mute strings that aren't being played.
Week 1: Isometrics Overview
Here I show you exercises that will help develop strength, endurance, and speed with your fretting hand by isolating each finger using hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Week 1: Isometrics Examples
Here are some example exercises.
Week 1: Motion Efficiency

Great Course
This is a great course that covers many topics. It starts off with information proper muting, then goes into exercises for finger isolation, speed picking, and great exercises for learning the notes on the fretboard. It has a lot of great 3 and 4 note per string exercises to really learn modes and get a very solid grasp of the fretboard.
