Pentatonic Masterclass
Join the Trek Up the Pentatonic Mountain Range and Unlock the Neck with Confidence Today
A 2-hour journey for intermediate guitarists ready to unlock everything the pentatonic scale has to offer, and finally play with clarity, confidence, and freedom
The Pentatonic Expedition: Your 2-Hour Trek to Fretboard Freedom
I want to invite you to join us on a trek up the five peaks of the Pentatonic Mountain Range (all from the comfort of your home).
This isn’t just another class — it’s a 2-hour journey for guitarists who know some pentatonic shapes but feel stuck, boxed in, or overwhelmed when it’s time to solo.
Together, we’ll climb the mountain, camp by camp, and reach the summit where you’ll play freely, confidently, and creatively.
Basecamp
Lay Your Foundation

🚶 Your Lead Guide
I’m Neil Santos, author of The Guitar Simplified and creator of The Pentatonic Way. I spent years feeling trapped in the same repetitive pentatonic boxes, circling the base of the mountain.
I’ve spent the last decade mapping this terrain so you don’t have to wander. I’ve found the hidden passes and the clear routes to the top—let’s reach the summit together.
Your Expedition Gear Bundle:
🏔️ Your Private Summit Basecamp
Lifetime Access. Organized for Action. No More Searching.
One of the biggest obstacles to progress is “tab overwhelm”—having dozens of YouTube links and PDFs scattered across your computer. When you join the Pentatonic Expedition, you get immediate access to your private Summit Portal. This isn’t just a folder of files; it’s a structured learning environment designed to keep you focused on the trail.
Everything you need to master the neck is organized in one place, permanently.
🏔️ The Full Masterclass Replay:
Broken down into bite-sized “Camps” so you can jump straight to the concept you want to review.
🎸 High-Fidelity Jam Tracks:
Custom High-Fidelity Jam Tracks: Practice the “Diagonal Routes” with professional backing tracks.
🗺️ The Fretboard GPS Workbook:
View it in your browser or print it out to keep on your music stand.
📲 Mobile-Ready Learning:
Whether you’re in the living room with your amp or on the go, your map is always with you.
🎁 FAST-TRACK BONUS: The Guitar Simplified eBook ($15 Value)
Unlock the Full Logic of the Fretboard Today.
When you join the Pentatonic Expedition, I want to make sure you never feel “lost” on the neck again. That’s why I’m including a digital copy of my acclaimed book, “The Guitar Simplified,” for free.
While the Expedition gives you the GPS for the Pentatonic trails, this book provides the master map for everything else. You’ll discover:
- Theory Made Intuitive: No confusing academic jargon—just the essential building blocks of music explained visually.
- The “Clarity” Framework: How to organize your practice so you stop “noodling” and start mastering the instrument.
- The Big Picture: How scales, chords, and intervals all fit together across the entire fretboard.
This is the perfect companion to your Summit Portal, and it’s yours FREE when you start your Expedition today.

“The Fretboard GPS makes so much sense. It’s not about memorizing a thousand patterns; it’s about having a clear map of where you’re going.” ~ Warren T.
“I’ve been stuck in Box 1 for ten years. Within the first hour of the Expedition, I was finally moving diagonally across the neck. It just clicked.” ~ Joey D.
“The way the portal is set up is so helpful. I can jump into a ‘Camp,’ grab the jam track, and start practicing immediately.” ~ Richard S.
Money-Back Guarantee
The Trail-Tested Guarantee: If you don’t feel more confident navigating the fretboard within 14 days, just let me know. I’ll give you a full refund, and you can keep the ‘Guitar Simplified’ eBook as a gift for taking the trek.

Frequently Asked Questions
“I already know my 5 pentatonic positions; what else is there to learn?”
The truth? You haven’t reached the limit of the scale; you’ve reached the limit of how you were taught to use it.
Most intermediate players hit a ceiling because they’ve been told the pentatonic is just a ‘beginner scale.’ The pros know better—they see it as a sophisticated, high-speed framework for navigating jazz, blues, and rock. If you feel ‘boxed in,’ it’s because you’re treating those shapes like a cage rather than a launchpad. The Expedition reveals how to bridge that gap using advanced navigation: re-aiming scales to lock into any chord progression, altering shapes to unlock new tonal colors, and superimposing familiar patterns over complex chords. This is how you transform a ‘basic’ scale into a world-class solo.
“Is a 2-hour masterclass enough time?”
We aren’t noodling for 2 hours. This is a structured ‘Trek’ through a proven system. You’ll leave with a repeatable jam system that replaces months of aimless practice with 120 minutes of high-intensity breakthroughs.
“What if I can’t make the live session of the Masterclass?”
No climber gets left behind. If you can’t make the 7:00 PM EDT start time, don’t sweat it. Every registered student gets lifetime access to the Summit Portal. Within 24 hours of the live trek, the full HD replay will be uploaded to your account along with the Fretboard GPS Workbook and all bonus materials. You can watch, rewind, and master the trail at your own pace, on your own time, forever.
“I’ve seen dozens of pentatonic videos on YouTube. How is this different?”
YouTube gives you the pieces; I give you the map. This isn’t a collection of random licks—it’s a cohesive navigation system designed to connect the dots in 2 hours.
“I’m not ‘advanced’ enough for jazz/dominant tones.”
If you can play a basic blues lick, you’re ready. We strip away the complex theory and give you the ‘color’ of jazz and blues using shapes you already partially know. It’s the easiest way to sound ‘expensive’ without the ego.
