This was actually a tough video to make because I could play this song a thousand times and play something different every time. Also, since I do not edit these videos – what you see is what you get, mistakes and all!!
Remember, from my other blog “The Need for Speed” I talk fast and tend [...]

I found this Dude on Youtube and just had to share. There are other places you can get backing tracks to play to and most of them are popular songs. I like this guy’s stuff because it sounds great AND YOU get to play what YOU want without any preconceived ideas floating around your little [...]

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 [...]

Here is a video demonstration for the previous post about “QUESTION: Changing Notes to follow Chord Changes”. Remember, I just improvised this with ONLY 3 NOTES! You don’t have to play a fury of notes to sound good when soloing. See anyone can do this and I teach you how in my E-Book Rapid Playing Method [...]

You know, I sometimes wonder how my life would be if I….Oh, I don’t know…choose to love something that had a little more potential economic upside ? Face it, making a living by being a musician can sometimes be a struggle.
What if I had fallen in love with computers? Or mathematics? Or car engines? How [...]

Hello!
Whenever I write these posts I always try to share some wisdom I have learned along the way. You may have noticed that sometimes I am goofy. Sometimes I am serious. Sometimes I get preachy. Sometimes I am upset. Sometimes I am happy as a Mug (80′s term, Dude)!
That is because these are mostly just [...]

Hey [...]

We live in a microwave society. Everything is now…now…NOW!!! We get frustrated when we have to wait for food to cook, the commercials to get over with, losing weight….everything really.
It’s the same when we first learn to play guitar. The tendency is to judge yourself against others and if you are not as advanced as [...]
