Guitar Lesson Overview
Movable chord shape - this lesson shows how you can easily play 7 chords that all belong to the same family. They are called diatonic chords, and they all share the E major scale - you can play this scale over any of these chords and it will sound right. The chords I show are - E, F#m7, G#m7#5, Asus2, Bsus4, C#m7, D#m7b5. This may look like complicated chords, but remember they all are based on the E major scale. See the movable chords page for tabs. The other cool thing about these chords is that they all use the bottom 2 strings (B and E) open, which makes for a nice, big, shimmering sound.
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.
