BEGINNERS: Get the edge you need on the other guitarists. Learn today’s styles and special tunings that the pros are using! Learn what gear does what and why! I’ll show you how to get your favorite players sound and how to develop your own sound. What does it take to get in a band and play out!
INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED GUITARISTS: Put together the puzzle and start making music instead of mimicking everyone else! Don’t know how to use symmetrical scales? Need a bunch of smoking’ Bebop or modern Jazz lines to spice up your solos? Chord melody playing? Exotic scales and styles from all over the World? Quartal Harmony? Soundscapes? Advanced theories of Pythagorus and the Middle East to the ancient music of Persia and Sumeria.

Hot Chicago styles of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, BB, Albert and Freddie (The Three Kings of Blues). Swing the Blues harder than anyone else with my Bebop Blues lessons.
