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.

Create Your Own Fingerstyle Compositions On The Guitar – LEG010
Ok OGLWithme, I thought your suggestion on a video of this nature was a good one - so I put one together. I realized though as I was editing this that it's next to impossible to cover everything that needs to be covered with the 10 minute constraints that you have with YouTube, but I tried to cover the basics to give you an idea of at least my thought process for how to approach something like this. The important thing to remember is that 1) determine which key you're going to do it in, 2) … [Read more...]
Chet Atkins Fingerstyle Lesson: Very Basic – LEG031
So you may be asking, what’s the big deal about Chet Atkins? When I first started becoming obsessed with learning the guitar I kept reading article after article about Chet Atkins and how he pioneered this or influenced that.. and to be honest, when I heard my first Chet Atkins album (my dad’s), I wasn’t immediately blown away. I thought it sounded clean and simple and… well, nice. It wasn’t until I analyzed what was actually going that I began to realize what a genius he was. Born June 20, … [Read more...]
