Introduction / About Me1:56
Welcome! Please take a while to get to know me and the expectations for this course!
Guitar Fundamentals2:50
Let's review a bit of fundamentals. Glad to have you here!

Pentatonic Scale Positions12:01
In this lecture, we approach the Pentatonic Scale in all positions. Be sure to be close to memorization of these scales before proceeding. Make sure you're using the appropriate finger numbers.
Natural Scale Positions11:49
In this lecture we learn how I approach the natural scale using only the top 3 strings. Along with memorizing the pentatonic scales, you should also strive to memorize these positions as well.
Finding "Key" Notes6:09
In this lecture, we're going to focus on KEY notes from the scales. What notes should you look out for? Find out in this lecture.
Melodic Ideas5:48
In this lecture, we start to piece together our knowledge of the fretboard so far. Learning these scales and KEY notes are what will help us create new and exciting melodies.
Vibrato6:08
In this lecture, we learn the two different types of vibrato I enjoy using and when and why to use them. Make your melodies come to life with some vibrato!
Bends and Tricks7:44
Bends are probably the most important technique and tool to any guitarist. This is what makes our instrument very unique. Learn what notes you CAN bend and how FAR you can bend them in this lecture.
Hammer-Ons, Pull-Offs, & Slides8:24
In this lecture, we learn about additional techniques to further your soloing experience. Hammer-Ons, Pull-Offs, & Slides all contribute to making a solo great. Learn some ideas in this lecture.
Putting it all Together4:58
In my final thoughts, we review some key licks and go through some last minute ideas that incorporate all that we have learned.

I started playing the guitar almost 20 years ago. I went to university and got my Bachelor's Degree in Commercial Music with an emphasis in Classical Guitar. Right after graduating, I was offered a full-time teaching position in the local public schools where I have built the BEST guitar programs in my city. I currently hold two teaching certifications with over 500 Professional Development hours. While teaching High School, I focused on expanding my musical career. I have worked with many artists such as:

Khalid (Artist)
John Karpowich (5-Time Grammy Producer/Engineer - Santana, Ricky Martin, Ana Gabriel)
Jaime Merrill (Artist)
Enrique Ponce (Film and Video Game Composer)
Erick Boseman (Rhianna, Whitney Houston)
