In this masterclass with Dion, we'll be guiding you through the amazing "Belief" by John Mayer. Dion will guide you through all the key parts in this track, including that awesome opening riff! Whenever we learn John Mayer tunes, we make sure that you understand and apply all of the CAGED and pentatonic theory you need to be able to play using this "chord and lead combined" approach. It's a fantastic track to apply all these guitar skills that you will have been learning.

In this masterclass with Dion, we'll focus on the theoretical skills you need to start working out songs by ear! This is an absolutely crucial skill for any guitar player or musician, and we take baby steps through the key theory that you need to achieve this. This is very much the first part of a two-part webinar series, and this session will ensure you have the theoretical skills in place before tackling the more practical side of working out songs in session 2!

This challenge here presents you with a basis of a nice open sounding Lydian based chord and then adding in the Harp Harmonics over the top to bring even more brightness to an already bright mode!
