Don't have much time to practice? You can learn how to spend five minutes a day working on a simple practice plan and a weekly goal. When Friday rolls around,  you're going to be a different player!

In this video, I discuss a particular method on how I install new strings. I also go over tips on using a capo. I talk about my method for keeping your guitar humidified in the winter months.

A quick lesson on playing on your fingertips.

I teach a very useful D dominant scale. We learn how to start on the different chord tones of this particular scale. I demonstrate how to use it in context of a song.

One of the most important parts of playing lead guitar is learning how to phrase. I will discuss why phrasing is important and why this can ultimately take your playing to a new level.

The importance of having good form and I discuss practice tips to help train your left hand. Thumb placement on the back of the neck to help with playing on your fingertips when we move up the neck.

This might be the most important lesson I have recorded to date. An in depth study of the right hand.

Demonstration on how to put our arpeggios to use. I teach how to take our arpeggios and make little phrases out of them and then learn how to connect them to move into our next chord. This is an important lesson on how to start improvising.

In this video, I go over the finer points of a hammer on, pull off and slides.

In lesson two, we build an arpeggio from each major scale degree. I show you the process of constructing these arpeggios in detail. We put all these new arpeggios together at the end of the lesson.

The first lesson in this series on Basic Arpeggios. We will learn a major scale and learn how to extract the arpeggio from that scale. The big lesson will be on how to turn this arpeggio into music and how I use them in my own playing.
