You're training the wrong part of your brain.

Traditional practice, scales, theory, and isolated drills overload your prefrontal cortex (the conscious thinking part of the brain).

This creates a bottleneck that prevents you from consistently reaching unconscious, automatic playing.

(A.k.a. flowstate)

Because here's what's actually happening:

When you practice scales in isolation, your fingers learn the pattern, but your brain doesn't learn when or how to use it musically.

So when you sit down to improvise, your brain shifts into analysis mode:

"What scale works here?"

"What notes are safe?"

"What chord tone should I target?"

That split-second of thinking, immediately ejects you from flow state.

The result? You sound robotic.

Overthinking every note, second-guessing every decision.

You end up playing the same licks every time because those are the only patterns you've automated.

Everything else requires too much conscious processing to access in real-time.

And the gap between what you know and what you can actually do keeps getting wider.

The worst part? Traditional practice methods actually reinforce this problem instead of solving it.

They train your fingers without training your brain's ability to make creative decisions automatically.

But don't worry, because that's exactly why I created The Fretboard Mastery Academy for you.

I'll show you exactly how to shift from conscious thinking to automatic thinking, and teach you the system that makes flow state and creative freedom accessible for everyone.
