Fifths (the 'sound' of rock)

Frank Doll, born in 1972, studied at the Music College Regensburg before reading musicology, German and linguistics at the University of Regensburg. Drawn back to the guitar, he went on to train at the Munich Guitar Institute (MGI). He has worked as an instrumental teacher since 1998, alongside countless performances at home and abroad across rock, pop, musical theatre and light music. He currently teaches in the music stream at the Edith-Stein-Realschule in Parsberg and has run the Musikwerkstatt Frauenberg since 2006. On MusicGurus his German-language Griffbrett Theorie courses map the guitar fretboard systematically - intervals, chord shapes, modal positions and applied theory - for players who want to understand the neck, not just memorise shapes.
