Ben introduces the three-note-per-string major scale (the “universal scale”) as the key to navigating the fretboard. Using G major, he explains the tone-tone-semitone formula and how the same seven notes repeat across the neck. The aim is to move beyond shapes and truly understand how the fretboard connects musically.

Ben walks through mapping the entire fretboard in G major, explaining the three-note-per-string positions, how they connect across strings, and why knowing octave locations and root notes makes the neck less intimidating. He stresses learning the shapes bit by bit, using drones or songs to practice, and treating the patterns as musical tools (not just mechanical drills) so you can apply them across keys and improvise more musically.
