PLAYING IS JUST THE START. CREATING IS WHERE IT GETS REAL.

You’ve sat through lesson after lesson. You’ve chased every YouTube “hack,” every box pattern, every tab. And still—nothing’s clicking.

So why does guitar still feel like a struggle?

You practiced. You showed up. You learned the shapes. You memorized licks and tabs.

And still… something doesn’t feel right.

You’re working harder than ever—but not feeling the progress.

You’ve tried self-teaching or traditional lessons—yet you’re not confident.

You can play the notes—but they don’t feel like yours.

And underneath it all is that quiet, frustrating question:

“Why does this still feel so hard and aimless?”


THE TRUTH MOST GUITAR PROGRAMS WILL NEVER TELL YOU:

It isn’t your discipline.
It isn’t your potential.
It isn’t that you “don’t want it badly enough.”

The problem is the system you were given—one that was never built for creative mastery.

Most guitarists were trained to…

  • Chase perfection instead of progress.

  • Memorize boxes instead of understanding harmony.

  • Copy solos instead of creating music that inspires you.

Eventually—despite the love, the effort, and the time—it starts to feel mechanical. Empty. Isolated. Like something vital is missing, and no one can name it.


THAT’S WHY WE BUILT FRETBOARD REVOLUTION (HIGH-LEVEL GUITAR)

Not to bury you in rules that don’t matter.

Not to hand you exercises with no musical purpose.

But to give you a clear path to something better—guided one-to-one by Evan Dunn at Clarendon Hills Music Academy:

  • Training that makes sense: technique tied to tone, time, and expression—alternate/economy/hybrid picking, legato, string-skipping, articulation, and rhythmic accuracy (odd meters, polyrhythms).
  • Harmony you can use extended chords, voice-leading, modal interchange, secondary dominants, substitutions—why sounds work and how to deploy them musically.
  • Improvisation that feels natural: motif development, chord-tone targeting, arpeggio integration, scale choice by chord function, tension/release, inside/outside concepts—phrasing that sings.
  • Neck Mapping in all positions: CAGED + 3NPS integration, triad families on string sets, position linking, sightline strategies for fast navigation.
  • Ear, Reading & Transcription: hear it, write it, play it—practical ear training, chart reading, Nashville/Roman-numeral fluency, transcription habits that make rehearsals and sessions easier.
  • Modern Tone & Tools: pedalboard and amp-modeling essentials, signal chain design, tone shaping, recording workflow in Pro Tools.
  • Performance & Portfolio: audition prep, ensemble/studio etiquette, arranging covers and originals, and building a reel that reflects your artistic identity.

WHO IS FRETBOARD REVOLUTION FOR AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Fretboard Revolution: High-Level Guitar Training with Evan Dunn is Built for serious learners—ages 13 through adult—who want to go beyond shapes, tabs, and shortcuts to develop real control, creativity, and confidence. Assuming you’re willing to do the work.

It’s for you if:

  • You’ve taken lessons but still don’t feel fluent or expressive across the neck.

  • You’re tired of copying tabs without understanding why the harmony works.

  • You can play parts—but you don’t yet own your tone, phrasing, and voice.

  • You want training with structure, not chaos.

  • You want a coach, not just a teacher.

  • You’re not chasing gimmicks or quick wins—you’re here for something deeper and lasting.

This isn’t for casual dabblers.
It’s for guitarists (or aspiring guitarists) ready to work with intention—and finally sound like the artist they know they can be.


Fretboard Revolution is a complete, integrated training system focused on unlocking mastery through structure, support, and strategic creative development.

Here’s what that means:

2. You’ll follow a clear weekly training path inside your Practice Dashboard.
No more guessing. Your personalized dashboard houses your goals, videos, assignments, and feedback—so you know exactly what to work on and how it connects to the bigger picture.
