Last week I got this question in my inbox:

“When I practice the pentatonic scale it sounds like I am picking, yet when I hear others play it, it sounds like they are strumming... How can I change this? In other words, how can I make what I am doing SMOOTHER?”

This reminds me of my student Dave. He played guitar but with no dynamics, no control. Everything he played was with 100% of energy. Super intense.

Think of playing guitar as having a conversation with someone. You’re not always 100% yelling at someone’s face, super intensive and no room for the other person to talk. If you are, you probably need to work on your people skills.

The same goes for guitar playing. You gotta have self-control, choose your words, notes, and licks, techniques. You have to become smooth. And you have to be intentional about these things when you’...

As guitarists, we always have to come up with ways to make our guitar fit in the arrangement in a band. We usually have the bass, acoustic guitar, rhythm guitar, keys and so on. So to make our guitar fit in an arrangement requires a little more than just knowing the basic chords.

In this video you will learn how to use the regular A Shape to make our guitar sound rich, warm and distinct within other instruments.

This is one of my favourite ways to layer guitar in a band or recording. We’ll use one simple chord shape and your guitar will sound amazing.

Finally! You will play your first song on guitar ever! You will learn how to play your first song on guitar.

If you've been following my Beginner Acoustic Lesson series, this is your first song! This is a classic song recorded by Johnny Cash and many other.

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/cGa3zFRqDn4 

We will be using only three chords: A, D and E major. Don’t forget to practice after you’re done watching the video. If you just watch and you don’t put it into practice, you will have no results.

Grab your guitar and have fun!

In this video you will learn how to connect pentatonic shapes in your soloing and improv.

This is one of my favourite ways to connect one shape of pentatonic to the next one. When I first learn this scale I learn the most famous of all, like everyone else. Later I learned that there were 4 other shapes.

Years later I finally learned how to effectively use the pentatonic as well as how to connect the shapes all together. And this is what you’ll learn in this video.

Grab your guitar and let me show you how to add rhythm into your soloing.

In this video you will learn how to use the arpeggios in your soloing and improv.

When I was first introduced to arpeggios, it was presented to me as something you use to impress other people, especially other guitar players. That’s because the reference for arpeggios at that time was the virtuose Yngwie Malmsteen, shred master.

Years later I finally learned how to effectively use the arpeggios as a tool to write music and to create melodies in my solos and improvs.

Grab your guitar and let me show you how to add rhythm into your soloing.

This is your fifth guitar lesson. Here you will learn how to play a new chord: the C Major and A minor.

A lot of guitar teachers like to teach C major as the first chord to their beginners students. That’s how it was for me. I think that is wrong because the C major chord is much more difficult than A, E and D for example.

You will be using this chord A LOT for the rest of your life as a guitarist and there are tons of songs.

Don’t forget to practice after you’re done watching the video. If you just watch and you don’t put it into practice, you will have no results.

Grab your guitar and have fun!
