Welcome Musicians, Lovers of Music, and the random person that stumbles onto this page.

I love to teach. I also believe that if you help enough people get what they want, you'll get what you want. So it's been my pleasure to put together free guitar lessons here as well as some printable chord charts, scales, and resources that I've found useful. If you like what you see, please take a moment to say hello. I apprecate feedback and suggestions as I continue to add useful information.

Wandering Guitar in DADGAD

I've been working on this little tune for awhile, and finally just decided to put it out there. It's by no means a polished piece, but I just like playing it. I wanted to write a song that actually changes speed.

It is in DADGAD tuning and once you get passed the tapping, isnt all that difficult.

If I get enough interest, I'll make it into a lesson.

Shady Grove Intro

Simple Shady Grove lesson. The intro that is more in the style of Garcia, sort of like the Pizza Tapes. This lesson is about one minute long.

Drop D Slide



I recently discovered Drop-D slide guitar and it has reignighted my love of slide. This is just tooling around, but expect something like it to show on the album.

Pentatonic Scales

The Pentatinic Scale is made up of 5 notes: pent=5, tonic=tone,note,sound.

You can get so much mileage out of these scales and they are found in just about every type of popular music.

These are listed out with the root in the minor form. That means they are will sound more bluesy, or jazzy.

If you want a smoother tone, just move the scale down three frets.

I'll be happy to explain this in further detail if enough people ask for it, so send me a note.

Each of these forms are all the same scale, they are just in a different position. Think of them as a pattern. Once you learn to connect the patterns, you will be on your way to playing all over the neck!
