🔔 Lesson livestreams coming up Sunday, May 19!
12:00pm CDT will be an INTERMEDIATE LESSON "Intro to Blues Guitar: Part 1"
This lesson will be kicking off a series devoted specifically to Blues Guitar. I'll break down the foundational knowledge and history that you need to understand this incredibly diverse style, and eventually dive into more detailed avenues that will sharpen up your rhythm and lead guitar techniques.
In this first lesson, I'll dive into some of the history of Blues. I'll also introduce the concept of 12-Bar Blues, and how this one foundational chord progression serves as the backbone for generations of artists, a multitude of styles, and thousands of songs.

1:30pm CDT will be an INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED LESSON "How to Arrange a Song for Solo Guitar"
I've had many of you ask how I take a song and arrange it into a piece of music that can be performed on solo guitar. This lesson will be an introduction into the process of taking a song, breaking it down into its essential components, and then constructing a solo guitar arrangement that feels like you're listening to an entire band. I'll take you through the process of learning the song's melody on different parts of the fretboard, learning to marry the chords and melody together into manageable finger positions, incorporating bass lines and riffs into the arrangement, and much more, to create your own original guitar arrangements.
