For the Jam of the Week Coltrane topic, Oliver Picking beautifully covers this John Stowell improvisation over Giant Steps. There are so many fun ideas here, and you never quite know where it's going to… More…

This is a live gig we did a while ago and some members of my teaching website were asking me about stuff happening in the solo so I wrote it out. Hope you enjoy it! Please check out the site - https://www.ElectricCampfire.com… More…
I learned this solo for a gig and loved the rhythmic phrasing and rock-guitar nuances. It ultimately got cut for underscoring. Oh well!… More…
A short romance set to an untitled 1912 poem by the Russian poet Osip Mandelstam. A victim of Stalin's repression, arrested twice, survived a suicide attempt, got sentenced to labor camp, never even got… More…
This is three separate parts combined into solo guitar. Taken from a lead sheet Gilad posted on his website. Originally it's bass, melody, and a syncopated accompanying guitar line. Tried to put them all… More…

I currently transcribe AC/DC licks for my Instagram page but this intro is just too groovy to transcribe only one bit. So, here's the whole intro solo.… More…
I tabbed two versions here: the first one is a nice finger twister. The second one is a bit easier to play. … More…
A beautiful composition written by one of my favorite composers. I haven't seen the movie but music...I've listened to this tune for oh so many times.… More…

Here is a solo ukulele version of the classic Everly Brothers' Song, (All I Have To Do Is) Dream, that I developed with and for some of my private ukulele students. First, we learned the melody in the… More…
Though the song is from '97, I first heard it on radio in 2014 while visiting San Antonio, TX. The intro guitar riff hooked me right away, and I loved that I couldn't find the downbeat until the bass kicked… More…
Hey folks! So stocked on starting my channel here! And the first thing I want to share is a short non-functional progression with a some sort of fusion line containing some A.Holdsworth vibes. There are… More…

This composition is a 20-count pattern that RLV Hemanth Lakshman recites three times. At 60 BPM, it fits nicely into one minute.… More…
A true classic and an exceptionally easy piece for complete beginners. One of the very first things that I played on the violin ― long before I even began bothering with sheet music and trying to figure… More…
Well this one's sure got a bunch of weird time signatures in the chorus. Don't let those scare you, just listen to the song a few times and go with the flow. It's a good one. Believe it or not, Chris de… More…
Another piece from the Children's Album by Tchaikovsky. This one is excellent practice for string crossings, both down and up from the same home string. A good opportunity to start practicing martelé,… More…
