    Any Ian Thornley fans?

    Awesome man. That whole Suhr factory party show from 2015, that is on YouTube, needs to be put on dvd. Some really, really great guitar work. Check it out if you haven’t. Ghosts and blown wide open are excellent!

    Any Ian Thornley fans?

    One more try. Lol. Great source of guitar inspiration. I think if just one person is turned on to his playing, then I’ll be happy haha. He is in the same conversation as people like satriani, Eric Johnson, slash, lifeson…. The technical ability, tone, and smooth legato licks…just a...

    What do we have to do for the competition?

    I think it was a referral thing..having your friends sign up for the school. Not positive, I just remember thinking,”well I’m screwed” because I could get one person, MAYBE, to sign up for lessons….though I’m happy to report back, that one person did sign up, and is now holding the pick like a...

    If I’m gigging a lot, I love them. Only because if I’m gigging a lot, I’m changing my strings a lot, regardless of they’re actual lifetime. I mostly use d’addario NYXL. They are My favorite strings but not worth replacing every 7 hours of playing or so, at 12 bucks a pack. For heavy gigging...

    Best explanation of CAGED system yet!

    Have you watched all the lessons pertaining to CAGED yet? If not, I’d say watch them all. But also, learn them one at a time. Learn them and then link them together as you learn. Also you don’t really have to relearn chord shapes. As long as you account for an open note as you slide the...

    Best explanation of CAGED system yet!

    I just got to say, I was playing through the lessons on the caged system, and they are great! I’ve been playing for 22 years, and wasn’t expecting to find much in the beginners section…but there it was. Something I’ve overlooked in my younger years, and is such a handy tool when you know it...
