2019-02-03 10:59:22 +0000 UTC View PostMorning patrons. To balance out the slightly obscure post-punk (more Wire coming soon...) I thought I'd look at a well-known guitar classic this week. I realise there are a lot of lessons and trans...
2019-02-01 11:20:30 +0000 UTC View PostMorning patrons! I have a new video for you this morning. I'm looking at the song Ex Lion Tamer by the mighty British band Wire. It's a fun, easy to play bit of post -punk. The music/tab can be fou...
2019-01-25 11:17:26 +0000 UTC View PostMorning patrons! Another nice lick for you today. This time it's a bluesy, country-ish, rockabilly-ish phrase. A good bit of vocabulary for outlining the V chord in a 12 bar blues progression. The ...

2019-01-04 16:04:23 +0000 UTC View PostMorning patrons! And a few new people on board here this week, welcome to you. For the last video of 2018 I have another nice lick for you. This is a useful pentatonic phrase which takes you down t...
2018-12-21 10:43:37 +0000 UTC View PostI've made quite an elaborate backing track for this one, with extra sleigh bells. Hope you enjoy playing along. You should be able to listen to it here, or download the mp3.
2018-12-14 10:48:56 +0000 UTC View PostMorning Patrons! It's Christmas special time, and this year I've gone for more Ventures. I love their version of Blue Christmas. It's chock full of great licks, but it's not too difficult to play. Hop...
2018-12-14 10:44:52 +0000 UTC View PostMorning patrons. New video today, we're going to learn one of my current favourite licks - a slippery, string-skippy E minor phrase. Link to the video and the music/tab below. Hope you enjoy learning ...
2018-12-07 10:35:18 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the music/tab to accompany the XTC lesson. I only made a partial backing track to play over at the start of the video, but if I have time I'll try and expand that to the whole song and post the...

Morning patrons! A couple of you have asked about technique exercises and in the latest video I look at one of my favourites. Taken as a whole, it's a very challenging exercise, but you can always jus...

Hey patrons! It's Friday; it's new video day. I have a bit of 80s post-punk for you: Swamp Thing by The Chameleons. Never heard of them? I wasn't that familiar with them either until quite recently...
2018-11-16 20:25:48 +0000 UTC View PostHello patrons! This week's video has just gone live on YouTube: part 2 of my look at ways you can use a metronome to improve your timing and feel. If you found last week's exercises laughably easy the...
2018-11-09 19:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostHey patrons! Got a new video out today and it's all about metronomes: what they do and how to start using one. Slightly more fun than it sounds, I hope. I've been filming Part 2 today, where I look at...

Hey patrons! So here we have the music/tab for some of the riffs I played in Friday's video. I've not written out the full songs as that would probably take me all week, but I hope you have fun with t...
2018-10-23 14:04:26 +0000 UTC View PostEvening all! I've finally got the new video uploaded to YouTube - this one took longer than usual to get edited together. It's the next in the series of videos looking at my guitars and gear. This tim...

2018-10-12 19:38:24 +0000 UTC View PostAfternoon all! In today's new video I talk about playing fast and give you some easy(-ish!) ways to do it. We have 10 fast, repeating licks which I find to be really useable across a range of differen...
