Below is a collection of videos from my YouTube channels. I will be creating more teaching videos in the future, so let me know if there are any musical concepts or techniques you'd like me to cover. I have 2 channels. Most of the videos below are from my artist channel. You can check it out here. I also have a brand new teaching channel here. I will be posting new content every 1 to 2 weeks, so be sure to subscribe!
In today's lesson, I will show you how to inject some jazz into your blues guitar in 3 levels. Firstly, we will look at 251's, then diminished arpeggios, and finally the altered scale. I will show you how to use these techniques when playing over a simple 12-bar blues in G. When we combine this with the pentatonics and blues licks we already know, it adds a whole new level of sophistication to our blues playing. Get the accompanying TAB here.
Many years ago, my dad threw a Django Reinhardt cassette at me and said, "Listen to this!" I was blown away by his melodies, his virtuosity, and the beauty of his music. Ever since then, he has been my favourite guitarist. In today's lesson, I will show you three guitar techniques that Django used to create his iconic and incredibly unique sound. I will show you a Django enclosure, some arpeggios, and some string bends that will instantly give you that classic Gypsy Jazz sound. Get the accompanying TAB here.
Jimi Hendrix is one of my very favourite guitar players. In this video, I will show you five guitar techniques Jimi used to create his iconic sound. Get the accompanying TAB here.
Fading Stones is a track from the album "The Edge of the Middle," which I recorded at Boomker Sounds studio in Florence, Italy, with the band Roots United. I later shot this video on a boat in Amsterdam with Giancarlo Di Vanni on cajon.
A big part of my playing is improvisation. I love it because it allows me to escape all of my problems and just be in the moment with the music I create. Here is an example of an improvisation I made on a front porch with the sound of nature sometimes taking the lead.
