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...

The Mysterious ✨ Harmonic Minor! Hey dear reader, Want to instantly add an exotic, dramatic twist to your playing? Let’s talk about transforming the natural minor scale into the harmonic minor scale — it only takes one note. Here’s how it works: A natural minor = A – B – C – D – E – F – G – A So G becomes G#: A – B – C – D – E – F – G# – A That one note — the raised 7th — creates a unique tension that gives the scale its mysterious, almost Middle Eastern flavor. It’s used everywhere from...
