    All Of Me Concepts Chord melody plus... and instruction focusing on playing and nailing the changes using simple triads. Additional focus on embellishing improvisation using the melody. Good insights to one who want's to expand and play over "changes".



    Arpeggios As Exercises SAMPLE CLIP

    Learn arpeggios (major/minor/diminished/augmented) with application tips and helpful exercises. Learning arpeggios is a great way to develop speed, improve strength and dexterity while simultaneously helping you to internalize and memorize chord tones. This is a great "long term" lesson that the intermediate and advanced student can work on in conjunction with other songs/lessons. Guaranteed to take your playing to the next level and applicable to all genres and styles of music.


    Awful Pretty, Pretty Awful Note for Note from "Orange". Chet Atkins style double and triple stops, diminished lines, open string licks and useful applications for 6ths...all rolled into one. Intermediate / Advanced Add to Cart
    Back Bay Shuffle The great Jimmie Rivers Note for Note. Jazz meets Blues meets Soul



    B flat Blues Concepts SAMPLE CLIP

    Finally, break out of the box! Expand your musical horizons and take your blues playing to the next level. In this multi-tiered lesson, the intermediate/Advanced level guitarist will learn how to successfully and effortlessly "nail the changes" by utilizing a unique triad approach. Includes a solo that will guide the guitarist through a sophisticated and user friendly blues lead line over the B flat chord progression. This is a very popular lesson that helps blues guitarists "break out of the box" and a lesson that should provide a lifetime of improvisational ideas.

    Chet Song (Main Street Breakdown) SAMPLE CLIP

    As seen on YouTube . My favorite kind of song... sounds hard, but easy to play! A fun and user friendly introduction into Chet Atkins style that will benefit players of all levels. In this lesson the guitarist will learn Chet's Main Street Breakdown which incorporates some easy to apply hybrid picking (pick and middle). The second part of the lesson will demonstrate how to incorporate various soloing and improvisational ideas over the chord structure of the tune. A great lesson for players of all levels.




    "Crazy" (Willie Nelson) in Steel Guitar Style Steel guitar phrases, doublestops, sixths and thirds etc phrases on guitar all retaining the spirit and melody of Willie Nelson's classic song Intermediate / Advanced



    Low Man On the Totem Pole SAMPLE CLIP

    The great Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West tune NOTE FOR NOTE. Swinging blues lines, phrases that imply jazz changes and more! A sure fire way to add some new expression to your playing and a great introduction into the playing of Jimmy Bryant & Speedy West. Highly recommended.

    In my opinion, you can't go wrong with the "Panhandle Rag" lesson - the first lesson I ever bought and still my favorite! And I didn't even know the song before! :)
