Play Guitar Podcast
Lee Anderson
Thirty-year teaching veteran breaking down fretboard mechanics, scale patterns, and solo phrasing for stuck guitarists.
Why we picked this
Play Guitar Podcast replaces vague practice advice with systematic fretboard geometry. The show breaks the guitar neck down into repeatable spatial frameworks rather than endless memorization, mapping how standard chords and five-pattern scales interconnect across the strings. Instead of relying on random licks, it treats the instrument as a connected map where every root note and interval remains constant regardless of the key. For players stuck in standard scale boxes, this feed provides the mechanical foundation required to navigate the entire neck with absolute confidence.
