Colin This isn't just about learning note names. Lesson 1 shows you the perfect place to begin the journey to success. 
Even if you are an experienced guitarist there's still a lot to learn here.
If it's a lead guitarist you want to be, or simply an all-round guitar genius you have to know where your fingers are meant to be at all times. Many guitarists have a problem with confidence. This is easily sorted by increasing your knowledge of the fretboard and decreasing the number of mistakes you make. This lesson stays with you forever

Lesson #3 - Scales

Colin Scales are the link between you to the outside world. Scales lead to modes and modes are where you have to be.
Scales are the way forward. Scales bond you to a band or a song.

Without scales your progress is limited. 
During this lesson Len Collins takes you towards improvisation and gives you the tools of creativity.
