FAQ's
I know Major scales, why should I take this course?
- It is possible that you know the scale patterns but not as in depth as you would with DCLS system.
- Learning major scales with DCLS helps you visualize them much faster on the fretboard
- This course also teaches you to understand what key a chord progression is in, therefore what scale to play
- The course also explains how to deal with key changes, a very challenging subject
- It is quite common to use only a couple of boxes and not even across all strings. Sometimes you feel like you're using always the same few notes in the same 2 boxes. This course helps you play on all the fretboard, on all the strings, in all common keys.
I know Major scales, can I just go to part 3 on Modes?
DCLS is a modular approach, and learning or re-learning the major scale this way will help you a great deal to learn modes on the fretboard.
Nonetheless if you have a very strong knowledge of the diatonic harmony, harmonic analysis and major scales all over the fretboard, DCLS part 3 provides a full recap of the system and you can start directly there.

What does DCLS mean?
DUAL CAGED LAYERED SYSTEM - and it's pronounced Diesels
What is DCLS?
DCLS it's a complete improvisation system that starts from pentatonic scales and works its way up to modes. It's an improvement of the CAGED system. There are a few areas where CAGED is a bit uneffective, especially on minor scales and DCLS fixes that. But unlike CAGED, DCLS is designed to work with modes as well.
It's modular, so you will have only 10 basic boxes, and everything else will build on these just by changing a few notes.
This is unique and speeds up the process of understanding scales and modes, recognising them on the fretboard and learning their sound.

Is it better than CAGED?
CAGED has limits, especially in minor keys. The Diesels system builds on CAGED but improves its effectiveness, making finding pentatonics, major and minor scales, including modes...a piece of cake.
What are part 1 and 3 about?
Part 1 is about the Pentatonic Scale, Major an Minor. You also learn the basic of the DCLS approach to fretboard visualization.
Part 3 is about modes. The DCLS system is great with modes, let's say it makes them as easy as pentatonics..to memorize and as usual to see on the fretboard. Modes is where the DCLS system really shines!
Part 4 Still in the works, when released will be about more complex scales, like modes from the melodic minor, altered scales and superimpositions of pentatonics and triads.

Will I have a discount if I want to get the full course?
Certainly! The full course is available as a complete bundle HERE. But if you prefer to start with just this part, and then decide to purchase the entire course bundle you will have a proportionate, substantial discount!
