Guitar Lesson Overview
This lick I learned from Charlie Parker - "Bird". He was a phenomenal player and anything you can pick up from him is worth learning :) This lick is very bluesy sounding, and will work either in a blues or jazz setting. I have made another video similar to this one that uses mostly the same notes, but it sounds more like blues than jazz.
This lick is in key of E, or E7 if you wish. Hope you like it!
I also suggest you check out the video lesson of a blues chromatic lick similar to this one. It is more guitar oriented than this Parker lick.

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.
