The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out. |
Guitar Lesson Overview
This is an example of Jimi's style of playing in the song The Wind Cries Mary. It's not a lesson for how to play the song. What I am teaching in this video is the embellishments and 2-3 string melodic playing in the style of Jimi Hendrix. I have also PDF and Guitar Pro 6 files available below. Let me know how you like this one!

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.

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.
