RelationShapes: Complete Guitar Scales Learning System
What you’ll learn
-
Effortlessly play and connect major and minor scales and their modes as well as symmetrical scales everywhere on the guitar neck.
Welcome to RelationShapes, the only guitar scale system you’ll ever need! In this series, I teach you my system for learning 3-note-per-string scales on the guitar, and a simple set of rules so you can know where you are within those scales all the time, so you can know where to go next. I’ll cover the major scale and all its modes, the harmonic minor scale and all its modes, the melodic minor scale and all its modes, and symmetrical scales like diminished and whole tone scales.
Most importantly, it’s not just a bunch of notes to memorize – it’s a way of breaking down the scales into the smallest units and applying some logic so you always know where you are and how to get to where you want to be. Most scale systems are just a ton of rote memorization – but RelationShapes is a map AND how to read it! It’s a complete method for learning and practicing scales for the guitar, no matter how many strings there are on your axe, or what style of music you play.
Who this course is for:
- Beginner to advanced guitarists who want to learn how to play and connect scales up, down, and across the neck for improvising, solo writing, riff writing, composition of any kind, and

This no nonsense, simplistic approach demystified something that was cloudy for a decade. I’m having more fun with exploring my guitar now than I have in years! Thanks Trey.
Michael Katz –
Course seems to be abandoned.
Other people claim that a lot of questions and answers were deleted.
The idea itself is interesting but quite confusing to follow.

I have many years of self-taught knowledge about this topic. I did laugh out of joy/surprise when he simplified scales to the degree he did. Very well done!
James Harris –
nice!
Brian C. Hamilton –
Nice!

Even after playing for 20 plus years this course has in a day unlocked the mode scale shapes not got to the melodic minor etc yet but very happy so far. Pity I hadn’t found this course years ago.

As a beginner with no music theory under my belt, this course is giving me a bit of a headache. It’s interesting and I’ve gone thru much of it to see what I can glean in hopes of “getting it” when I’ve got a bit more context. I know I can get this info elsewhere, but need to get a feel for Modes and the composition of keys before getting lost in all the terminology. . . .much less minor 3rds and dominant 7ths. The resources could definitely be improved. I’m sort of creating my own to make sure I can put each concept in my own words and match with illustrations. Haven’t tried the exercises yet but I know 4 and 5 fret stretches are beyond me physically, too, at this point. Bottom line, I can see there’s a pony in there somewhere and I hope to find it one day soon, but I’m wrastlin’ with this material today.

This course was exactly what I needed to break free from my guitar playing rut. It made modes and scales not scary or overwhelming. I wish I had access to this years ago. Thanks Trey!
Nick Cherry –
This was an hour long and straight forward. It gives you practice material and clear explanations. Highly recommend!
Amber Clemas –
Learning scales is easier than I thought with this course. The teacher is very knowledgeable and easy to understand.
Mark Cleary –
Good little course, doesn’t really work melodic and harmonic minor scales, well kind of does but it’s the only one that’s more confusing than learning the traditional way. Overall well worth taking the course.

Simple and to the point.
