Changing Habits
August 8th, 2017 at 8:36 am EDTHey Friend, Yo! What’s happening? Tuesday AM in da hood… Do you know where your motivation is? Mine’s sure not into going to the j.o.b., but bad habits and all… You know the ones that involve eating on a regular basis, sleeping indoors, wea ...
Acoustic Goodness
August 7th, 2017 at 8:34 am EDTHey Friend, For all you acoustic guitar buffs, I didn’t want you to feel left out. I’ve been talking a lot about Rock classics that are typically played on electric guitars, but I have tons of love for so many of the acoustic based Rock and Fo ...
A Little Burning Finger Style...

Annoying the Pig
August 5th, 2017 at 9:11 am EDTHey Friend, Have you ever tried to have a conversation about music with a non-musician? It can be a little frustrating. You get excited over something new you’ve learned and you want to share that discovery, but your significant other or friend i ...

Girls Are More Evolved… But You Already Knew That
July 31st, 2017 at 8:33 am EDTHey Friend, It’s interesting to think about why people do things. Just when you think we as humans have progressed past basic goals and desires, risen up Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, the reason we take up a new hobby is to fulfill one of those ...
What’s Your Why?
July 30th, 2017 at 10:06 am EDTHey Friend, Why do we learn to play guitar? Right off the bat, you might say it’s to play our favorite songs. Sure, that’s part of it, but I want you to think a little deeper. What, in your mind, got you interested in playing guitar in the fi ...
