Free Guitar Lessons

The guitar lessons on my website are based on my experiences learning to play the guitar. My guitar lessons continuously evolve and expand. The guitar lessons cover picking, scales, modes, chords as well as a large variety of other topics of interest to guitar players.

You can see all of my guitar lessons at Guitar Dreams, a website with articles and many other resources to help you become a better guitar player. I just added a new guitar lesson that shows you how to play wild pentatonic scale riffs so check it out! You can also listen to samples of my original music and sign up for my free newsletter for more guitar playing tips.


Also, be sure to check out my other Squidoo lens, which contains many other guitar lesson resources and be sure to check out some of my music on myspace.

Come visit my new guitar blog which contains a wide variety of guitar related posts! I just made a post that goes over very useful chord voicings.

My Guitar Lesson and Other Videos 

I have finally entered the world of video guitar lessons. I decided to attempt to create a guitar lesson DVD. The clips you see here are part of my ongoing experiment to see how the DVD will look and sound. I still need to mess with background and lighting as well.

You definitely want to click the Watch in HD option under the video... Way better than the regular playback.

Forgot to mention this on the other comment I made but saw it again here so I played it again!! Thought the playing of For The Love Of God was excellent! You certainly hit those high notes. Wish I could make my little finger move like that. I need to practice more. Congrats!
