The Axesense Guitar Method
THE SECRET SAUCE.
Stop memorizing dots and start speaking the language. The Axesense Method is a complete visual system for the fretboard — modes, intervals, and harmonic relationships, mapped so you can improvise in any key, anywhere on the neck. Built across 25 years of teaching. The modal framework comes from Joe Satriani, with whom I studied in the ’80s. Other Satriani students include Steve Vai, Kirk Hammett, Alex Skolnick, and Larry LaLonde. Among players I’ve taught, Mark Lettieri went on to win five Grammys with Snarky Puppy.
