I started a YouTube Guitar Lesson Series. If interested the site is:

I usually play about 1 minute and then discuss concepts, ideas, phrasing, etc.

Check it out. Oh, and remember that it's free. I don't get paid for this. So, I'm not going to take 37 takes, wear a tux, nor make ultimate graphics.

Comment and make suggestions, please!

Ok. I do youtube lessons pretty regularly

I have a few questions about that guitar if you don't mind. I've really gotten interested in Jacksons since I saw various artists such as Chris Broderick using them.

I played a low end Jackson (Warrior) yesterday and didn't think much of it.

The high end versions have ebony fetboards on maple which should work; both my current instruments are Fender (tele, strat) with maple necks. I like the wide necks. It looked like the Jackson you were playing had a maple neck?

Are these as nice as I think they are? The warriors kinda put me off since I didn't like the necks. (looked cool though!) I'm really sort of thinking of getting one of those guys with the Explorer body and Seymour Duncan pickups. (like in my strat) Your take?

thanks

I love their necks. The one I am playing is a DK2. It retails for like $900.
In the background you can see my Ibanez 7 string. I have a USA Fender and a Jackson KE1.

The KE1 has the best neck. It should, it's quite expensive.

I like the maple necks. Usually, on upper range guitars, you have the option of a maple, ebony, or rosewood neck. Not always, but in a lot of cases. I like the maple because it feels "quicker" to me.

The lower range guitars of just about any model will more than likely have an unappealing neck. Though, having someone who knows what they are doing can make a lot of necks playable by working on the action. But that isn't true in all cases.

Go to a music store and take the good stock off the wall and try it out.
I like fast necks as opposed to thicker necks.

Hi, I found this blog once, then lost it. Took me forever to come back and find it. I wanted to see what comments you got. Nice blog by the way.

You are providing a service for players not yet versed in communicating music with other musicians, it helps to make sense out of what otherwise could be a jungle of notes and musical terminologies, one think I’d like to point out is you should minimize the digressions by eliminating analogies and metaphors.

One of my job’s aspects is tutoring other people (not music) I found over the years that if I stick to the subject matter without digressing... concepts are grasped quicker; the more complex the subject is the more simplified the lecture should be.

Other that you make for a music teacher.

Thanks for the comments. I'll try to do that. I just try to teach for all levels and age groups at the same time. I do see your point, though.

That's interesting. I've been a technical instructor for years, and even the hardest-core techno geeks that I have taught , always appreciated my analogies, metaphors, and such.. I was often told that my explanations helped them to understand highly abstract concepts... I guess its different for each person.

Just uploaded a new video on phrasing in A/Fm. It has arps and F# harm minor/C# Phrygian dominant in it as well.

I see that I have had over 200 views of this post. I would appreciate some feedback via comments or suggestions for my video lessons, please.

I don't want to push junk. Constructive criticism is welcome.

Thanks,

Hey guys!

I just uploaded a new lesson on soloing over a rhythm.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK8as1snzrs

It's a pretty good lesson on playing over chords while not being restricted by a key.

Comments/complaints/requests are welcome.

Thanks, and don't forget to view my channel!!

Hey guys..

Put a new video up. It is somewhat a continuation of the last, but it shows how to get an idea of visualizing the fretboard (using chords).

I play a lot of scales and modes, but this one is based mainly on arpeggios.

Enjoy!

The lesson is on my channel.

Hey guys,
Anyone in the Gadsden, Alabama area, I have started teaching guitar lessons again. I will be teaching Saturdays at BAKER MUSIC. Contact me here or on my YouTube page for more information and to schedule appointments.

Thanks!
