Guitar Lesson Overview
If you feel stuck with the pentatonic or blues scale, and you are running out of ideas, then you have to watch this video. Using chord tones when you are improvising over a blues can really open up your playing. This lesson shows you how to using arpeggios over a I-IV-I progression (A7 | D7 | A7 | A7). Target the chord tones instead of rambling up and down a scale, and voila - your improvising will sound much better!
Guitar Theory Made Simple!
Understanding I-IV-V is an intensive 65 minute video that will give you a crash course on guitar theory. It is not a complete lesson on music theory. Instead, this is the perfect introductory tool to get you started on the guitar, or to reveal the secrets of the fretboard that you are not aware of yet. You will learn why chord numbers are far more important than chord letters, how to write your own songs and chord progressions effortlessly and endlessly, and much more.

Guitar Pro
I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.
Video Clips
I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.
Comments on this video lesson:
Very good! I love how you get in to some details and explain what you're doing. Keep dropping that knowledge down on us.
Comment added on August 19, 2011Another great lesson. Would be nice to see what you right hand is doing on all your new videos coming to view. I can see and feel what it is doing but for our new players would have a hard time with it I would think. Again thanks for sharing with all of us
Comment added on May 20, 2011A bit too complicated for me. I don't understand arpeggios and theory,etc. But still a great video!
