There have been several requests to get the tabs of the tutorials as Guitar Pro Files. I use this software with all my live students because it is extremly useful for learning because you can listen how the tabs sound, you can slow down the speed or you can loop a specific section where you are working on. I STRONGLY recommend to use this software for learning guitar. There are 2 versions available. The full software or the app. To learn it is enough to just get the app since the playback featured I mentioned above are functional in the app too. If you want to get the software or the app at a reduced price you can use this link here : GET YOUR GUITAR PRO SOFTWARE Workflow…

Back in San Francisco during the 80's I hung out with a trio called "The Squares". I was friends with the bass player. The guitarist for the band was the unsung Joe Satriani. I thought the band was terrific and everyone knew Joe was exceptional. I started taking lessons with Joe, an hour and a half a week, in a knock off Japanese guitar shop on Rose Street in Berkeley (the other Berklee ;-). We literally sat on crates in the back of the shop for our lessons. Even then, Joe was very focused on theory and more of our lessons were about modalities. I remember during one of our lessons Joe said - 'Hey look at this - I discovered arpeggios' which was true. It was also during …

Hey guys in this post I will show you which guitar works or guitar videos inspired me a lot - you can also share yours if you want.

Hey guys in this thread I will post what I am up to on new tutorials that you can start your inspiration before the topic comes out. ------------------------ So this is a tutorial which I am working on now.

First I must say your jazz basic lessons are exactly what I was looking for. What I’m struggling with is trying to make them “ musical “. I’ve tried starting on the 5th and descending or ascending but it sounds to mechanical. Any would be much appreciated.

Guitar Beginners I will start a new series of tutorials now. I want to guide the total guitar beginners through the first really hard 6-12 months of learning guitar. The point is - when you start with guitar there is not much you can do till you have the technical abilities to grab chords - specially the barré chords, to play some lead guitar with simple melodies and to do your first bendings, the first vibrato's and and and.... This phase can be really frustrating because things take time and you can not make any shortcuts. But my job as an instructor is to keep you guys motivated in this time and still get you a creative and fun vibes into your beginner steps …

Now comes the phase were we can start working as a community. What is the benefit of a community ? Together we are stronger because we can share our experience and our knowledge. I did the best to cover all the professional needed topics in the academy but the human interaction is also an importan…

So if you have any suggestions, requests or comments please let me know what you guys think, or what is on your mind.

If you want to help me to find topics for new tutorials please let me know. I only have one condition - it has to be somehow a popular topic or a topic which might be in the interest of the majority of students - but also sometimes topics which are …
