Break the Barrier
Blues is easy to play, but hard to feel.
Jimi Hendrix
This is SOOOOO true!!
In it’s basic and pure form blues is just 3 chords (I-IV-V) and 6 notes played with an attitude. But like Jimi says, sooo hard to do really well.
I am sure if you have been to any number of jams, you have [...]

Long Guitar Riff Lay-Got-Toe style
This is a very cool riff that is versatile and sounds KILLER when played fast or slow. I did more of a legato style here, but you can also pick these to give it more chunk.
Only go as fast as you are clean – no sloppy guitar playing!!
Also, Remember, these patterns are moveable and [...]

Some people talkrealfastandtheycanhardlygetthewordsoutfastenoughohmygawd!! (Think of all the 80′s shredders)
Some people talk…..inspurts…..and…..havea……..real……staccatostyle…..(Think of Santana)
And we tend to play the same way. Which is COOL! I LOVE IT!!
As for myself? You may notice that [...]

Thumbs UP!!!
I´ve got a question. Why does he hold the top string with his thumb all the time? I thought you were supposed to keep it behind the neck!
This is more of a traditional practice and really used predominantly when playing Classical or Flamenco music where you are mainly playing runs and not bending strings. Anyway, here is [...]

all of those [...]

Do you EMOTE!
“Don’t Fight IT…Feel IT“!
I just heard this song by Sam Cooke and I think it is appropriate for my little rant here.

Idolizing…
I am watching American Idol right now – yes it is a guilty pleasure that I allow myself. I was reluctant for the first season, but my wife got me hooked and Kelly Clarkson’s Natural Woman got me addicted.
Now as the years have gone on I haven’t been as dedicated and have missed a lot [...]
