TTS - Another Scale Method For Guitar

Inspired by the clarity and structure of piano scale playing, the 3NPS system, the scale fingerings of Andrés Segovia, and the way scales are played on bowed string instruments, I developed the TTS System to offer an inspiring new perspective on guitar scales.
This system does not aim to replace other approaches or methods - rather, it is intended as a valuable addition for improving fretboard overview, bridging the gap between music theory and the guitar neck, and serving as a practical tool for improvisation.
The TTS System is a method for playing scales fluidly and logically across the entire guitar neck, while fulfilling one of music education's most basic tasks: playing a scale using the instrument's full range.

It is designed for guitarists who seek:
A better overview of the fretboard
Consistent fingerings across positions and multiple octaves
A clear tool for improvisation and visualizing scale structures

Over many years of playing and teaching guitar, I have explored various scale concepts. While all of them offer useful approaches and specific advantages, some key questions often remain unanswered:

How can I play a scale smoothly across multiple octaves?
How can I find fingerings that consistently follow the intervallic structure?
How can I visually track scale and mode variations across the fretboard?"

The TTS System offers clear, practical solutions to these common challenges. It is based on repeatable patterns, consistent positional shifts, and a structured approach that mirrors the theoretical principles behind scale construction.
This release concentrates on the fundamental application of the system: playing scales in a linear fashion - ascending and descending smoothly across the neck. More advanced patterns and applications will be explored in future editions.


This release provides structured examples in video format and neck diagram sheets to help users become familiar with and apply the TTS System, including:
