It’s Never Too Late...
July 5th, 2017 at 8:36 am EDTHey Friend, For love, that is. Well, for most things. Like playing guitar. Or starting a new business. Whatever age you are, you might think “if I’d only started when I was…,” or “if I was just a little older…” Naw, quit thinking li ...
Happy Fourth of July
July 4th, 2017 at 8:44 am EDTHey Friend, We’ll take a little break from arpeggios today to celebrate the Fourth of July here in the States. What better way to reflect on freedom than to have a listen to our national anthem? The Star Spangled Banner was written by Francis Sco ...
Another Arpeggio Example
July 3rd, 2017 at 8:37 am EDTHey Friend, Happy Fourth of July Eve! Hopefully most of you have a cool gig that gave you today off (or at least a half a day). I, however, will be sitting at my desk waiting for calls from clients that are most likely at home enjoying a day off wit ...
Here’s a Cool Example of an Arpeggio (with tabs)
July 2nd, 2017 at 10:18 am EDTHey Friend, I wanted to give you a quick example today of a simple arpeggio in action - in a real song. The song is Sara by Fleetwood Mac, and this arpeggio is the intro for the song. What I've done is transposed it from its original key to one w ...
Try This Arpeggio
July 1st, 2017 at 11:13 am EDTHey Friend, Thanks for the well-wishes. I am feeling better - not 100%, but much better than yesterday. Fortunately, my wife doesn’t have anything too taxing planned for me today! When we talk about arpeggios, a great place to start experimenting ...
Bleh...
June 30th, 2017 at 8:29 am EDTHey Friend, Sorry to tell you I’m a bit under the weather… Without going into details, let’s just say I hope it isn’t the same bug my boss had - otherwise, it’s going to be a rough weekend. I’m hoping it’s just something to get out my ...
Purposely Play Your First Arpeggio
June 29th, 2017 at 8:39 am EDTHey Friend, Okay, I lied. Maybe it’s not your first. In fact, if you’ve been around for a little while, I’ve given you exercises that included an arpeggio or two. Don’t hate me... Today’s lesson is a short one, and won’t take but a ...
Broken Chords
June 28th, 2017 at 8:40 am EDTHey Friend, For some reason I woke up feeling like today is Friday… man, what a letdown! We’ve covered a lot of chords and their forms and voicings. You’ve gotten lots of chord charts and instruction on how these have been constructed. What ...
Boost Your Creativity
June 27th, 2017 at 8:38 am EDTHey Friend, Practicing guitar can sometimes turn into a mundane chore, especially if you don’t feel like you’re gaining any ground. This is one of the reasons you might find yourself “noodling” around the guitar neck instead of working on th ...
I'm Back...
June 26th, 2017 at 8:32 am EDTHey Friend, “I’m back in the saddle again.” Aerosmith Got back late last night on that big white bird, then up early to skid back into the groove. I’m indebted to you for letting me slack for the past two days. Unfortunately, the hotel w ...
