Here’s a little etude I wrote recently for myself to practice some new (to me) chord transitions and the gypsy picking technique. It’s over the changes of “Djangology.” I suppose you could even play it… More…

This is a nice exercise for practicing different voicings for the repetitive Gm7-C7 in “Honeysuckle Rose.” In the B section, it’s got the classic walkup. More…

Here’s a little exercise I just came up with, to develop the dexterity for my third and fourth fingers. Lots of times these sorts of exercises aren’t very musical, so I wanted something that actually sounds… More…

Here’s an etude I made for beginning gypsy-jazz guitarists. Note you can change the recording to only hear the rhythm guitar vs. lead guitar vs. full mix (for practicing!). More…

Here’s my latest fingerstyle arrangement for YouTube, the classic jazz standard. More…

I love this simple but melodic idea from Joost Zoeteman — first over the C minor, then over the G minor. Sounds dissonant, but he’s just playing the flat third and natural sixth over both chords. More…

Adrien and Benoit! This transcription was done by Denis Chang; I merely added the rhythmic values and Soundsliced it. More…

I made this one up to practice lots of consecutive downstrokes. The time feel of it is really odd, despite it being in 4/4! More…

Classic Django-y ideas over G minor blues. More…

I just discovered this great fingerstyle tune from Chet Atkins’ 1968 album Solo Flights and written by Jerry Reed. Such a tasty, bluesy melody! More…

The most beautifully melodic improvised guitar solo of all time? Every jazz guitarist should learn this classic by Django.… More…

Man, this intro. I’ve never come across most of these voicings before. From the 1958 Julie London album “Julie Is Her Name, Vol. 2.” More…

Catchy fingerstyle piece! Need to learn this one. More…

Super-swinging playing! By pianist Eddie Costa on the tune “Walking” on the Barry Galbraith album “Guitar and the Wind,” from 1958. I’ve transcribed only the piano melody, not the left hand rhythm. At… More…

I’ve been playing around with making exercises based on a simple scale, where I take a chord voicing I like and increment each of its notes by a scale step. It can reveal some beautiful new voicings! Here’s… More…

Really nice ideas here from Remi. More…

Great playing from the “Coast to Coast” album, recorded in April 1980. More…

Here’s an excellent chord etude Angelo showed at Django In June 2018, which took place last week in Northampton, MA. If you don’t know Django In June, mark your calendar for next year — I highly recommend… More…

@LyleBrewerMusic has been posting some nice guitar etudes and challenging people to do Soundslice covers. Here's the only one I've managed to get under my fingers so far. :) More…

It’s about time somebody did an acoustic contribution to Mark Lettieri’s Gruvskool Challenge... :-) This was actually quite tricky for me to learn, as I never play this kind of style/feel. More…
