Neil Diamond - Stones

I have been working with a student recently on Stones by Neil Diamond . It features a somewhat unusual arpeggio pattern that is a bit challenging. I thought many of you might be interested in tackling it so we now have a complete lesson on it. https://youtu.be/d_JkV4K5Mvw Stones is a beautiful balla...

I'll Be Here In The Morning by Townes Van Zandt

Hey Folks, I was recently working on this song with a student and it seemed logical that many others would like to play I'll Be Here In The Morning by Townes Van Zandt. It also gave me a chance to put together a segment focused on Townes' fingerpicking technique, which is basically a bit of Travis p...

On The Beat - Episode 748 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up March 15, 2024

Today I talked more about syncopation, what it is, how it is independent of swing, and then opened the door to time signature changes, which can be confused with both swi...

On The Beat - Episode 747 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up March 8, 2024

https://youtu.be/Sw7jrFTkt34 March 8, 2024 A couple things happened in lessons with students that became subjects for today's News. One was a question about swing time, which led to some improvising over 12-bar blues after examples from Chuck Berry and Loggins & Messina. The other was a song I messe...

Love Me Tender - Harmonization Lesson

Hi Gang, The response to my harmonization lesson on Can' Help Falling In Love inspired to get on another, Love Me Tender, with a little more complex set of chords. This also works a bit on listening to Elvis' recording (included with the lesson) to help sort out the problems. I hope you enjoy it! ht...
