Guitar Lesson Overview
Here's a guitar lesson on how to play octaves. Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, and other great guitar players have used octaves in their playing. It creates a cool sound and is a useful tool to have in your pocket.
I like using octaves for jazz guitar playing, but I also use it with high gain sounds sometimes because it creates a fat sound, quite different from single-note playing.
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.
