Intermediate Guitar Roadmap Results

Video transcript: Morning. My name's Scott, I'm from Canada and I've been working with Fabian for about 14 weeks now. And my playing has gotten so much better. I'm a 20 year player, you know, knew my bar chords, knew some triads, you know, I could play with other players, you know, play some songs, lots of songs, but never knew how to solo. Didn't understand how it worked. Since, since taking the lessons. And the lessons started in a. It was a slow progression. It was one lesson built on the next lesson to the point now where I can solo over any song. I can put any song on, figure out what key it's in and play a solo that sounds decent. It took some work on my part. I did have to learn, go back and learn some stuff, some scale stuff. I had to put in some work to get there, but I knew exactly what to work on. After every lesson, Fabian would send me a recording of that lesson that I'll have forever, which is fantastic, and a practice guide. So we've all been down that rabbit hole on YouTube where you just spend hours on something one night and you never go back to it. The next day it's just gone. But with Fabian's training and the practice guide, it allows me to go back and just focus on those things for a, like a two week period or probably sometimes even a three week period until I have it sort of under my fingers and really in my head and that it's just so important. I'm going to have the practice guides for every lesson and the recording of the lesson. I'm going to have that forever. And if I forget something or need to go back and, and tighten something up, I've got it. It's all there. I've taken lessons in person before. Those lessons are long gone. I don't have them anymore. So for me, the recorded lesson was absolutely fantastic. The practice guide, super helpful. So like I was saying, I now, I can now solo over any progression. I can from the most part. I can figure out what key it's in, figure out what chords are being played and then solo over top of that. For the last four to six weeks, all I've been doing is being planned. Like there's, there's stuff I have to go back and learn a little bit more. But I've been having so much fun playing over the top of these tunes that I've been wanting to play over forever. It's, it's really rewarding. It's. And so now I'm going to go back and, and do a Little bit more studying, a little bit more work to improve everything. But it's just been so much fun. I've really learned a lot. I would totally recommend Fabian as a teacher. He's a good guy to start with. He's a. He's a gentle guy. He corrects you in a way you don't feel like a dummy for making a mistake. Very important for a teacher. I mean, not everybody can teach. A lot of people can play guitar, but can they teach? Can they impart their knowledge into you? That's the hard part. I've been on YouTube. I followed all the guys. There's something that didn't. Just didn't work. But with Fabians, I knew right from the start. I actually found Fabian through an algorithm that was popped up on my computer. And I watched his lesson, or yeah, I guess it was a lesson he was doing on YouTube. And I really understood. I really got what he was. I was really picking up what he was putting down, and that's what made me pull the trigger to go with him and take these. Take these guitar lessons. Totally worth it. I really wish they had it. Done it 20 years ago. For anybody that's younger than I am, it is so worth it. And even somebody at my age, I now have this. It's stuck in my head. I'm never gonna. I'm never gonna lose what I've learned. There'll be some things I can go back and. And tighten up and the little things that I kind of maybe have not missed but need to focus on a little bit more. But I have that in all those lesson videos and the practice guides. Very, very helpful. So I would totally recommend Fabian, and I can't thank him enough for improving my guitar game. I'm just. I played with the guys the other night and was able to, you know, pull out a. A nice little solo over one of our tunes, an improvised solo, and it really felt good. Anyway, that's my two cents. If you're watching this and you're considering taking lessons with Fabian, send him an email. Have your pre interview with him, see if he's the right fit for you. He was certainly the right fit for me. Thanks. Have a great day.

Video transcript: Hey, everyone. I want to share my experience working with Fabian because honestly, it's been a total game changer for my playing. Before working with Fabian, one of my biggest goals was to learn how to solo across the fretboard. And I knew all the pentatonic shapes, major minor, but I really just couldn't connect them. I didn't know how to use them over chords, and my lead playing just sounded like I was running up and down scales. It like, felt. Felt repetitive and boring. And honestly, pretty frustrating because I just wasn't happy with the way I was sounding. I wasn't able to apply, like, the scales over chord changes. I didn't know how to solo in a way that actually sounded musical and interesting. And to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first. Baby had a YouTube channel, had some really interesting content, but, you know, it's a gun on the Internet. So I decided to reach out. And it was something about the way that he explained things that made me think he had a lot to offer. He really is a stand up guy and has helped me a ton in my guitar journey. I've been working with him since January of 2026, and my favorite part of working with him is just how thorough he is. He doesn't just show you what to play. He explains why it works. He's helped me understand how crucial rhythm is for phrasing, how triads unlock the fretboard in a way that just makes everything click. So you know what finally made me pull the trigger to work with him is it's simple. I spent years spinning my wheels. I've tried YouTube, tried pickup music. I tried True Fire, and. But I found that nothing beats learning guitar from somebody in real time and having an opportunity to ask questions and get answers to my questions in real time without having to, like, wait or kind of find the answers on my own. The results have been huge. I know the fretboard well. I know major minor triads. I know how to use them across the progression and play them in a way that actually sounds good. My phrasing is more intelligent. It sounds more musical, and I'm so much happier with the way that I sound than what I did before working with Fabian. Now the fretboard isn't confusing. I can find what I need easily, quickly. I still have a lot to learn, still want to work on my phrasing and continue to improve. But I'm 200 times better today than I was than before working with Fabian. My playing has evolved or improved in a way that just helps me be myself helps me understand what I'm playing and helps me to find the notes that sound good every time. I would absolutely recommend that you work with Fabian. I've learned a lot in a short amount of time. I've improved on the guitar. I enjoy playing the guitar more today than what I did before. I wish I had done this years ago. Working with a private teacher is not cheap, but, you know, the results have been huge. It's easy to spend 200 bucks a year on true fire or watch free YouTube videos, but if you actually want to be a good guitarist, you need someone to guide you directly. And I can't stress that enough. Like, I used to think, I couldn't afford it, but once I finally decided to go for it, I haven't regretted it for a second. After each lesson, Fabian sends you a video. Includes practice notes, a practice video, charts, and everything you need to keep improving and building on what you've learned week after week. So if you have an opportunity to work with Fabian, I recommend it. Absolutely. Go for it. It's going to make you a better guitarist. You're going to love playing the guitar even more than you do today. So, yeah, if you're able to do it, do it. Highly recommend it.

Video transcript: Hi, my name's Matt and I'm here to talk a little about Fabian's Triad Mastery program. I would class myself as an intermediate guitarist, being able to play a fair armful of songs and improvise to some extent. Before I met Fabian, I was confident with the five pentatonic boxes and I could easily jam without mistakes over a recorded backing track. But I was frustrated that my soloing sounded boring, repetitive and without meaning. I felt I was in a rut and I didn't know how to progress, couldn't see a way out. So I decided to take action back in April this year and I've been working with Fabian and independently for about five months now. Fabian has very natural and reassuring manner and I've enjoyed his clear step by step instructions. He's shown me a new way of looking at improvisation by combining triads and scales. He also advised that I buy a looper pedal, which really boosted my enjoyment of the instrument and has been a lot of fun and continues to be so. And I quickly noticed a difference in the harmonic nature of my soloing as it now follows the chords and has developed into a more meaningful product. I would definitely recommend Fabian as a teacher to a friend because of his in depth knowledge and understanding of the guitar and most importantly, his ability to convey this clearly and enthusiastically and with great patience. He's a very friendly chap and I really feel he wants me to progress, albeit at my own pace. I think it's been well worth the initial cost. Fabian is very generous with his time and he's happy to provide extra help where needed. So go ahead and book a consultation like I did and start making a difference to your playing right now.

Video transcript: Hi there. I'm in Arizona and I'm coming to the end of Fabian's Triad master class. And I just want to take a minute and share how it's been for me real quickly. For those who may be thinking about it, my objective and goal was to truly become a better lead and rhythm player combination. And there was always a spark plug missing for me. No matter how hard I tried, no matter how many videos I watched, something was always missing. Triads, it seems to me to be. To me, it seems to be the center of everything. You can do so much with them. And Fabian's master class simplified it. And that's the key, is you can't shortcut it. I'm not asking for a shortcut. I was. I wasn't looking for a magic bullet. I was looking for a true path that, hey, if I follow it at the end, I'll get where I'm at. I'm at the end of this. I'm very satisfied with it value. As far as I've had different lessons, you know, you pay somebody, whatever it is, wherever you're at Here in Arizona, 40, 45 an hour is reasonable, but I'm way past getting the value out of it. So for what it cost, because it's. It's a completion, it's a beginning, and it's an end. You're not just elongated forever. So for those of you who are thinking about it, take it from me, it's well worth the shot. I don't regret any of it, so I hope it works out for you.

Video transcript: Hey, I am John. I've been playing guitar for around 20 years professionally. I've done tours, session work, all that kind of stuff. Events, yeah, all kind of stuff. So I am a little bit more experienced than I think what a lot of the students would be. But I also found. I also found a lot of help through it. One thing that I was kind of struggling with was going beyond just the regular scales and actually following the music, targeting chord tones, things like that. I have, you know, watched a million YouTube videos on the subject, learned a million songs by ear, a bunch of solos by ear, done a ton of stuff like that. But when it came down to kind of following chord tones in my own improvisation, it was something that was kind of a struggle with me. Um, and it was something that I was just kind of doing by ear. But sitting down with Fabian, helping him, or having him help me map out the neck, kind of map out the chord tones, I've noticed that it's made a pretty big difference in just the ability that I've got to target notes, know where I'm going when I'm improvising. And also with my rhythm playing, adding a lot of interesting stuff to my rhythm playing. Definitely would recommend this to anybody. I mean, I think, really, if you're just struggling to. To follow the music with your improvising, I think this is a really great, great way to go about it. He really helped. It helped to kind of explain it to me in a way that just made sense.

Video transcript: Review of Fabian Dolan's masterclass. I can say it's been a very, very positive experience, you know, for a guitarist that, you know, I've been a beginner for years. I used to struggle, you know, improvising because I could play scales and chords, but just end up running up and down scales, playing a card, and it just sounded boring. I tried lots and lots of different YouTube channels, learned music theory, copied other guitarists, but still never made that breakthrough to the next level, which, you know, you see other guitarists and you think, you know, how they're doing it. How do I get to that level? Thanks to Fabian, I would say I'm well on my way to that level. His methodology, the way he's. The way he puts us together, it's like kind of a step by step method. I mean, for me, really putting the triads with the scales, with the pentatonic scales, it's just, you know, it's mind blowing, the possibilities. It's opened up for me. And the difference now is I can pick up my guitar, I can. I can just pick it up and play. It's kind of musical freedoms, kind of like I'm getting to that level of musical freedom now. I'm a long, long way off. Being good, though. You, you know, it's. It's so liberating to be able to play in that way. And I recommend this to anybody who's struggling to get to that next level. You know, it's. Fabian's a great guy, He's a brilliant teacher. You know, just take the plunge. It's the best thing you can invest in for your guitar playing. 10 out of 10. Thank you.

Video transcript: Hi. I just wanted to give a shout out to Fabian for the course I recently took on Triad Trees. And it's just been amazing. So I just wanted to put a little video together to share my experience. I know how to play the pentatonic scales, both major and minor, and I know a bit about triads, and I can find them on the fretboard. But what this system that he's put in place for me has done has shown me exactly where to find the triads. I understand the 1 3, 5s now and the organization of that in both major and minor pentatonic. And what is the cool thing is that I'm getting some tones out of my guitar now while I'm playing. And while we were going through the course and he was showing me the system, you know, and how to. How to develop it and put it to practice, I was amazed that I was. All of a sudden I was saying to him, oh, I see the scale now and I see the triad and I see how they're connecting, and I see how it moves across the fretboard. So that was just like an epiphany. The sounds that I'm getting out of my guitar are completely different. It does. It doesn't sound scaly, you know, going up and down the scales, I'm able to move across. And I'm just going to sit here for a while because it is just opened up a whole new realm of guitar for me. So if you get a chance, I highly recommend it, because if you're struggling with trying to move across the fretboard in a musical kind of way and getting some new tones out of your guitar, this is going to do it. It's done it for me. And I just want to thank Fabian for sharing his knowledge and information on this, because I'm going to sit here for a while and enjoy this part of the music journey on the guitar. So thanks, Fabian. I really appreciate it.

Video transcript: I recently took Fabian's Triad Masterclass and found it very useful and practical. Fabian provides exercises that you can use immediately. The caged mnemonic system is very limiting, whereas Fabian's Triad Masterclass is much more intuitive and practical. After the class and while I was practicing pieces, I already knew I could immediately start recognizing these triads in these pieces. Fabian's a very easygoing and laid back teaching style that's comfortable and enjoyable.

Video transcript: Hey, I want to give a quick shout out to Fabian and his lesson on the triad tree. Recently met with him over Zoom. We jumped right into our conversation. We started talking about triad and triad inversions. We picked up our guitars, we started playing the triad tree. By the time we were done with our one hour session, we played every diatonic chord in the key of G major and G minor. Fabian followed up with an email which included the diagram of the triad tree we displayed. So I want to give you my understanding of the application, the takeaway, if you will. The triad tree is a diagram that shows all the major and minor triad shapes all over the neck of the guitar, starting at the lowest string, ascending to the highest string. This is very vital knowledge if you want to sound more musical, if you want to simplify your guitar playing. By the time you're done playing the tree, you've played a chord in every inversion all over the neck of the guitar. I just want to say Fabian was a great teacher. He answered all my questions. A true man of his word. He followed up with my requests. He didn't have to do that, but he did. I think he holds the true definition of integrity. Seriously, if you want to avoid roadblocks and playing your guitar. I have roadblocks. And I wish I would have known about this a while ago. Here's my Roblox. What chord do I play next? What phrasing would sound good with this progression? Avoid the mess. Seriously, avoid this mess. Get more information about Fabian and his lesson on the triad tree. It's been helping me navigate around these roadblocks.

Video transcript: Hi, this is Mike Austin from Jacksonville, Florida. I've been playing for about 10 years, off and on mostly pentatonic blue scales. And what took me to Fabian was I like to style on YouTube. And then I. I didn't really know what triads were about, to be honest. But now that I've done this, I've seen it's made a big difference in my scales, my solos. So the course really shows you how chords interact with the shapes and the scales. And as you play along, you can land on a note that's in the triad to bring more focus to that chord. And so today I'm able to do that, and my sewing is a lot better than it was when I first started with him. And I would recommend this course to anyone, you know, especially if you've been playing for a little bit, enough to have enough experience to. To get going. Thank you.

Video transcript: So I took Fabian's masterclass on triad trees and as a self taught guitarist for about three years, I feel like the systems has really helped me visualize what I'm playing on the fretboard so much more comprehensively than all the other bits and pieces that I've been putting together over that time. I think that's really valuable for someone in my stage of learning. I've learned open chords, I've learned bar chords, I've learned scales and the pentatonic modes and all of my favorite songs and my solos. But there always seems to be this missing piece of the puzzle that kind of connects all these things that you learn. And that's really where the triad trees in the system comes into play. With these triad trees, I'm able to hit the right notes when I want to hit them, and most importantly, like, where they make sense to be played. I'm also seeing how and where the notes intersect with the chords and the scales and the progressions that they're musically attached to. So really it's not just knowing what to play, but understanding, like what you can play next and have it sound good and make it sound melodic and musical. And I feel like at the end of the day that that's really the next step for an intermediate guitarist like me, going from being able to just play these riffs and these licks into actually developing my own melodies and my own phrases that sound good and that they make sense in a musical context. So thank you, Fabian. I'm really looking forward to practicing the triad tree system and really seeing how it can help me develop my playing from here.
