Hi Reader! A brand-new guitar arrived the other day in the studio — the Donner HUSH-I Pro (Hawaiian Blue edition) — and today I posted a full unboxing + sound test on YouTube. I was honestly surprised by how good this thing looks in person, and the plugged-in tone is better than I expected for a travel/silent guitar. If you’re curious what comes in the box and how it sounds straight out of the package, check it out here: 👉 Watch the video In the video I go through: 🎁 unboxing 🔧 quality +...

How did the modes got their names? This short animated video reveals the ancient origins of the modal scale names - who named them and how they evolved through time. Today's modes are nothing like the original ones (which were more theoretical and tuning-focused), but medieval church scholars kept the same names because... well, they sounded cool? More likely, they simply lacked alternatives. By then, the original Greek modal frameworks had fallen out of common use - so they were "free to...

The model is still not even released to the public (it will be on November 20th) but I got my hands on it, it was shipped all the way from China ahead of their official release. Their new HUSH line comes...

Hey Reader, Big Update - it's finally here! It took some time to build it, but I wanted you to experience this firsthand: I’ve just released a working demo of What The CHORD Board™ — a new way to see, hear, and soon feel the fretboard like never before.

Hey Reader, For years, I’ve been on a mission to simplify the guitar fretboard. I’ve taught, written, and created with one goal in mind: to make music theory visual and intuitive for guitarists. Now, it’s FINALLY time to show you what I’ve been building: 🎉 I’ve officially revealed the What The CHORD Board™ — a patent-pending, analog decoder for guitarists. This sleek, hands-on tool shows you chords, scales, modes, and key changes — instantly, without a screen or batteries. A complete...

Hey Reader, I just dropped a new guitar lesson — and this one’s a little different. 🎸 It’s Bésame Mucho, the timeless Latin ballad we all know and love… But this time, I’m joined by none other than Pythagoras himself — yep, the ancient Greek philosopher playing guitar, in a wild, time-traveling duo. This one’s part sketch, part serious lesson, and surprisingly educational. Expect a few laughs and a lot of musical insight. Watch the full video here: 👉 Click Here to Watch on YouTube I've used...

In this new guitar lesson, I dive into a Balkan melody and show you how to create those flowing, emotional lines using two key techniques: 🎶 Tertian harmony - stacking notes in thirds to create melodic depth 🎶 Trills - those quick, vocal-like embellishments that give Eastern music its signature flair Plus, we’ll break down how to solo over the I-bVII progression (A-G) using the Mixolydian scale - a sound that’s...

Hey Reader, I just made something wild — and I think you’re going to love it. It’s a 1:30 min video lesson (part of a longer YouTube video I’m working on), but I couldn’t wait to share it with you. This isn’t your typical scale breakdown. It’s music the way the ancient Greeks saw it: Not as a list of notes, but as a cosmic spiral — a story unfolding through sound. Each chord, each interval carries its own psychological tension and function. I created the video 100% on my phone, using only...
