How To Practice, Vol. 3:

Developing A Linear Language

This is How To Practice, Vol. 3: Developing a Linear Language, written and presented by critically acclaimed guitarist Ben Eunson.

The third installment in the How To Practice series is designed to further develop your guitar playing by taking all the materials explored in the first two volumes of How To Practice and formulating them into practical exercises. These exercises are aimed at developing both your Linear Language on the guitar neck and your individual voice as a guitar soloist. This volume has been newly updated to feature a streamlined lesson layout, including 40 instructional videos with TAB/notation and detailed theoretical explanations.

How To Practice, Vol. 3 covers everything you need to know about blending scales, modes, and arpeggios on the guitar neck to create a solid foundation for cultivating fluent improvised lines on guitar.

Q&A

What will you cover in “How To Practice, Vol. 3: Developing A Linear Language”?

  • In How To Practice, Vol. 3, we begin by building on foundational materials—scales, triads, and 7th chord arpeggios—and expanding upon them to demonstrate how to apply these materials practically within the context of chord changes. We also explore how to transform these basics into linear language for soloing.
  • To maintain focus throughout How To Practice, Vol. 3, we will limit ourselves to two standard chord progressions frequently used in jazz and improvised music. These progressions were chosen because they include essential chord types (major, minor, diminished, and augmented) as well as practical examples of ii-V-I progressions (both major and minor)—vital components of nearly any chord progression you’ll encounter in modern contemporary music. These two progressions offer a harmonic framework that can be applied to virtually any other set of chord changes.
  • This online masterclass includes access to 44 lesson selections, featuring a total of 40 lesson videos, divided into five sections (an introduction followed by Sections 1–4). The lessons provide in-depth theoretical explanations, with all musical examples notated in both standard notation and TAB. All instructional videos are presented by Ben Eunson and include optional English subtitles.
