Here's a list of books that I studied when I got serious about guitar... I found all of these to be helpful and useful to me in some way so here's a link to them if you can find them (some of these may be out of print) In...

This demonstrates a slide on one string that allows you to hear the chromatic notes in a more pronounced way. It leads me to play some other really stupid chromatic examples. Thomas Nordegg likes to call this sound the Speed...

Here's a really powerful exercise I learned when I was at Musicians Institute to help you learn and master the notes on the neck. Even if you think you know the notes on all strings- do you really know them? I mean to where...

Here's one of my flight cases for my speaker cabinets that I've had forever (or at least it seems like it).... Oh if this thing could talk...it's seen a lot of duty and traveled to many places...including some of the same...

Here's a little improv on the classic Sara Smile taken from a show in San Diego, California. For you guitar geeks it's my Epiphone Sheraton through a 1967 Fender Bassman. Just some delay and octave pedal for first half, no...
