My Guitar Journey

I was 9 years old and went to my grandmas house to show her I can play “Smoke on the Water” on my mini toy guitar. She switched it with her real guitar, showed me three chords, and then I could play: Oh Susana, Coming Around the Mountain, and Down in the Valley. I was amazed that learning three or four chords could help me play so many songs! Promptly, I attained an electric guitar which I learned techniques, chords, and scales from songs to experiment and create as well. Enrolled in private lessons, my teacher showed me the pentatonic scales across the fretboard, the power chords, and the 12 Bar Blues Progression. THAT WAS THE MOMENT WHEN GUITAR AND MUSIC BECAME WIDE OPEN.

When I was 12 and went to play in bands everyone was amazed I could write my own riffs and solos so well because I knew these principles. I just kept learning new techniques, based on the genre I was interested in, and my playing got better and better. I always had inspiration because I always could find different melodies or riffs using combinations of those essential principles.

Today, 25, I create music on the guitar and help people create on the guitar every single day. I’ve been in blues, rock, hardcore, reggae, and metal bands. At this point all I have to do is set my intention for what I want to learn and I know I can do it. That is the freedom I want all my students and guitar players to have.

Your Ticket To Guitar Nirvana

The 8 steps to Guitar Nirvana are the essential principles that every great guitar player understands and uses. Once you internalize these principles you will always be creating confidently. They are the best test to know your instrument, know yourself, and know if the guitar is the right instrument for you. Each one of these 12 videos would cost students $80-100 an hour if they took private lessons.

The road to Nirvana is tough, but you don’t have to go it alone. We have “Live From Guitar Nirvana” Online Sessions where you can come learn the steps in the course and ask questions each week! You can band together with other guitar heroes in the “Guitar Nirvana” Facebook Group to share your successes and breakthroughs.

I believe the tools to freedom should be FREE like this course. I believe private guitar teaching should be about helping people create music that is personal, authentic, and exciting. Not just showing them things to play, showing them things to CREATE WITH. Once students learn these fundamentals, I help them learn to create and experiment. THIS bolsters their confidence, self esteem, and makes them feel like a REAL musician and guitar player. Those skills and feelings are a priceless investment that have paid great dividends in my life and in others, in gratitude I want to share that with you.

HOW FREE DO YOU WANT TO BE?

8 steps to know thy instrument-

1. Right View~ Getting Started on Guitar. We cover how to tune the guitar, how tablature works, the importance of naming your guitar, basic rhythm notation, hand and guitar positioning, as well as a small introduction into muting on the guitar.

2. Right Intention ~ Why, How, What is the 12 Bar Blues? Let's take an in depth view of the structure, harmony, and philosophy behind the 12 bar blues. We’ll look at how a scale and a measure of music is formed. Then look at other chord progressions.

3. Right Speech ~ Learning the Notes- C Major/A Minor 12 Bar Blues- Learn to feel the difference between major and minor keys while mapping out where the notes are on the guitar fretboard through playing music.

4. Right Action~ Three Jams! Easy Chords, Arpeggios, and Intro to Rhythm. Let's put what you learned so far into harmonious action.It will help you to start switching chords vertically, understand arpeggios and how notes harmonize with chords, and how long a quarter, half, and whole note should last for.

5. Right Mindfulness~ A Minor Pentatonic Scale- You know the notes horizontally on each string. Now to make the notes move vertically. There are five shapes that you have to master playing the pentatonic scale (5 tone scale) and once you master the shape and hopefully see how they all fit together- that's where the fun begins.

6. Right Concentration~ Power Chord Gauntlet- Power Chords are the staple of rock and roll. Whether you're playing rock, metal, blues, reggae, punk, alternative, the ability to switch and know where the power chords are key!

7. Right Livelihood~ Creating Riffs and Solos- Have you wished to know how guitarists like Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads, or myself make guitar riffs? I'll show you how creating rules helps you to create better melodies and how using scales lets you "dance" musically free. All Improvising is taking a risk within a safe structure.

8. Right Effort~ Eightfold Shuffle- 8 Blues Riffs you need to know- This video montage is eight of my favorite and most iconic 12 blues shuffles. Use these to practice counting bars and switching chords while using techniques like alternative picking, swing, palm muting, hammer ons and pull offs, and bends. If you want to be enlightened on the ways of rock and metal this is the test to practice.
