Here's a little progression played on a 1963 Guild Starfire. The pickups produce a really distinctive sound and it's very good for rhythm guitar parts....

This was posted to YouTube a few years back but though I'd add it here as well....it's a good explanation of my approach and how I think about combining "hooks" and riffs with rhythm parts. ...

I walk through the triad positions of the Cmaj Harmonized Major Scale and show you a little sweep picking move to practice them with. I'm a big proponent of the "killing two birds with one stone!"....theory and technique in...

Getting back on the horse after a long time off from this gig. Feels great to play with old buddies again and make music together. Trying out a few new pedals and amplifier heads for the rehearsals- (still waiting on another...

I still work on trying to make things groove and "feel" right. This is just an example of a riff of mine that uses some open strings and is a little tricky to play. It's from a song called "You'd Rather Forget" but makes a...
