I'm gonna show you how to put meaning and conviction behind what you are saying. Your first assignment will be this: Stop saying things you don't really mean! Start saying what you really believe in and want to say. The music we make comes from our souls, and if our soul hasn’t learned this very valuable life lesson of conviction and honesty, then our ignorance will show up in our music. You’ll play and say all sorts of things you don’t really mean until you understand this. Got it? Good? Great, let's get going...

Honesty
Honesty
Say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Chord Variations
Chord Variations
I'll show you how I take ordinary chords, and make them more interesting. Chords are colors, and they are the primary resource we have as musicians to paint our backdrop for our melody.
Chord Progressions

I'll show you how to combine different chords in more meaningful ways that add excitement and anticipation to the song.
Scales
Scales
I'll show you how I think about scales on the guitar, and how I use them in unique ways to avoid sounding like you're just running up and down the scale. The 4 and the Major 7 are so important... we'll get into why!
Soloing
Soloing
Once we have some unique chords, a great progression, and then an understanding of our scale, I'm gonna show you how to bring it all together and say something meaningful. You'll be surprised at how easy this is!
