FINALLY UNDERSTAND THE GUITAR NECK
AND
BREAK THROUGH YOUR GUITAR PLATEAU
A clear guitar system that connects chords, scales, and arpeggios
so you can stop feeling stuck,start seeing the fretboard clearly,and play with more confidence.
If you’ve been playing for years but still feel like the guitar neck never fully clicked, you are not alone.
Most players are taught isolated shapes, disconnected licks, and random theory fragments.
The DREW BENTLEY METHOD helps you understand how the instrument actually works so the fretboard finally starts to make sense.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve taught over 100,000 in-person lessons. I’ve developed a structured method designed to cut through the overwhelm and help guitar players turn confusion into confidence and make real music.
– Drew Bentley
The guitar lessons with Drew have been a great experience. I have been playing for 27 years and quickly noticed an improvement in my playing and musical understanding. He is very knowledgeable in music theory, rock, blues, jazz and practical techniques to improve ones playing.
I am very impressed with his ability to read the student to teach the guitar in a way that is easy to understand and to get the absolute most out of every lesson.
He provides a how and why understanding so that the lessons are easy to remember.
The lessons have been focused on meeting my interests and renewed my enjoyment in playing.
=Dave
Drew is the real deal. I took lessons from Drew over the span of several years in my mid-high school days and through college.
He is a top notch player with a refined and eclectic taste in music that reflects in his playing.
He draws from a formal music education, years of experience recording and playing in the local music scene, and a passion to continue his own learning.
What makes him such a valuable teacher is the fact that he can boil this knowledge and skillset to meet you exact where you are
musically. He is patient, insightful and encouraging. Now that I have graduated from college, I plan to be getting into the local music scene myself.
I owe a good bit of where I am at today to Drew!
I couldn’t recommend him more strongly.
=Steven
I have been taking guitar lessons with Drew Bentley for over 5 years now, and he is one of the all around best teachers I have ever had.
He has helped me to become a much better guitar player and I have learned so much in my time taking lessons. He has a great way of explaining difficult concepts and is an unbelievable musician who can help you grow as a guitarist and musician and reach your goals.
For anyone looking for a guitar instructor, look no further.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
If that sounds familiar, you’re exactly who this site is for.
A CLEAR SYSTEM FOR UNDERSTANDING THE NECK
After more than 28 years of teaching guitar, I developed a practical, musical approach to help players understand the fretboard as one connected system—not a collection of unrelated patterns to memorize.
At the heart of that system are three fundamental elements:
CHORDS
SCALES
ARPEGGIOS
When you begin to see how those three elements relate to one another across the neck, something changes.
The fretboard becomes less mysterious. Theory starts making sense because you can actually see and hear it on the instrument. And the things you’ve spent years learning begin to connect.
But understanding the neck is only part of becoming the musician you want to be.
Rhythm. Technique. Phrasing. Improvisation. Ear training. Musicality. They all have to work together.
That’s the larger goal of the Drew Bentley Method: not simply to teach you more things on guitar, but to help you connect what you know and turn it into real playing ability.
BREAK THROUGH THE FRETBOARD PLATEAU
You know the patterns. You know some scales. But when it’s time to actually play, you still find yourself falling back into the same familiar places.
The Free Fretboard Freedom Challenge is designed to change the way you see—and use—the entire neck.
In just six days, I’ll show you a different way to approach the fretboard so you can stop feeling trapped by patterns and start playing with greater freedom, confidence, and direction.
It’s completely free. Start the challenge and see what opens up.
