Welcome

I want to help folks learn more about music and guitar. Check out the progressive 12 lesson study method intended for the first 3-6 months of learning guitar. I’ve written articles on how to play folk, reggae, blues, flamenco, rock and jazz guitar, as well.

Also, the thoughts briefly discusses ideas, some related to music. And I am slowly adding lessons and ideas in Spanish. Hope you enjoy the site and drop me a line with ideas, comments, and suggestions! All the best to your musical journey!

 Philosophy

• Musicality over technicality
• Proper technique + stay relaxed
• Play with people and records
• Make your own music
