Rolf Sturm
Major Method for Guitar Theory and Improv


The MAJOR METHOD teaches all of the scales needed to solo through any playing situation. This is by far the FASTEST way to learn the entire neck of the guitar! No more blind spots on the neck. The Major Method shows you how.

"“...very nice! I like the idea of relating so many things back to the major scale... it fills a definite need in guitar education.”
HOWARD ALDEN-JAZZ GUITARIST
