Acoustic Blues Rhythm Guitar Lesson – EP027
Most of us will end up playing our guitars with other musicians at some point, either with another guitar player, bass player, or with a full band. One of the most common things that ends up happening in that scenario is to play a 12 bar blues (usually in they key of E or A). The problem with playing rhythm on guitar is that it’s easy to fall into a rut and not know how you can play something that makes the song more interesting. This lesson was created to show you a different way to approach … [Read more...]

Ragtime Blues Guitar Lesson Taught Fingerstyle: EP014
As promised here is some more acoustic blues for your arsenal. This is part 1 of 2 (the follow up to this will be showing you how to play lead on top it). This is an original composition (as far as I know anyway) that was really written and composed just so that I could teach it. The only way that I can provide tablature and jam tracks for songs is if I own the copyright, so it forces me to have to write and tab these little mini-songs… but I have to admit I sort of love doing it, so it’s not … [Read more...]
Delta Acoustic Blues Guitar Lesson: EP013
I continue to get lots of requests for more acoustic blues lessons. It seems there are more of these requests than for any other type of lesson, and they're incredibly easy for me as I've spent countless hours and years sitting around picking this stuff on the couch at home. The sad thing is that it never really made it any farther than my living.. and along comes YouTube, and the rest is history. This is something I pulled together rather quickly, just a combination of licks from various … [Read more...]
EP007: How To Play Amazing Grace on Guitar – Lesson
I've had a lot of requests for gospel recently, and even a specific request for this song so I thought this would be a good one to do in a way that both beginner and intermediate players could enjoy (never excluding advanced players of course). This is my own arrangement of this song and it's obviously pretty straight forward, however, if you wanted to spice this up a bit it would be easy to do. One obvious place for that would be when it goes to the "G" part, to throw in some bluesy licks in … [Read more...]
