Warm Up with Frank: Up, Down & Across the Fretboard

Break out of isolated positions and develop the freedom to move naturally up, down, and across the entire guitar fretboard.

In Up, Down & Across the Fretboard, Frank Vignola guides you through practical scale and arpeggio exercises designed to improve fretboard navigation and connect the positions you already know. Instead of treating each shape as its own separate area, you’ll practice linking ideas together so the neck begins to feel like one connected musical landscape.

The goal is greater freedom—giving you more ways to move, create lines, and improvise without feeling trapped in familiar patterns.
