A fun exercise using note doubling to move up harmonically while move physically down the neck with hybrid picking. Also some 3/4 tp 5/4 tp 4/4 time signatures at the end for some spicy spice!… More…
There is a reason this chord is sometimes called the "magic chord"! 🙂💥⠀… More…

I liked this composition, so I did my best to make a cover at close to reel tempo. There are two recordings, at 84 and 92 Beats Per Minute. (Some dances would require 112!) The slower recording is really… More…
A lot of good versions out there. This Is my take on it. Some minor variations has been skipped due to repeats. More…

There are countless variations on how to play any good folk tune, but I thought this deserved a closer look. In the source recording of this, the quaver-crotchet-quaver (eighth-quarter-eighth) rhythm was… More…
This is a very pretty waltz written by Lollo Meier from his album Rosas. He taught it to me 17+ years ago. The chord shapes are the ones he taught me that I wrote down in my practice notebook. I've also… More…
First draft on Take Five standard. There are so many potential fingerings that you just have to pick something that feels right. I can't hear the piano chords in the B section, but it probably outlines… More…
Here's a transcription of Lee Konitz playing All The Things You Are with Lennie Tristano.… More…
Another three-riff banger from Nuclear Assault's Handle With Care, Torture Tactics. This one is even more straight forward, but the use of triplets makes it extremely catchy! Be careful after the chorus… More…
bass line approximation for Rush lessons. There are a lot of variations, so I'm just gonna pick a few that I can hear and stick with those.… More…
I consider Easy Arpeggios as staying in one octave only to keep it easy and playable. Also, it is very musical to only stay within the octave.… More…
The opening synth bass line from “Grecian Summer” by Classixx, the California-based production duo of Tyler Blake & Michael David. Michael Di Francesco (AKA “Touch Sensitive”) played this synth part.… More…
A friend of mine played me this first track from the debut Giant album Last of the Runaways way back in 1989 and I was blown away. Still my favourite rock album intro thanks to the genius of Dan Huff.… More…

Love this version by Mateus but the original is in D# (Eb) and I believe he is using a DADGAD type of tuning, or something similar. So I wanted to see if I could convert this into standard tuning to save… More…

There are some confusing accidentals due to the mode of this piece. In some places you play G natural, in other places you play G sharp.… More…
This goes very low by folk tune standards, being played entirely on the fiddle G and D strings. It is one of the few tunes that works better on viola.… More…
Being a slow ballad, I wrote it in double time feel because otherwise I'd have to write 32nd notes and 16th triplets, so it would be very difficult to read. … More…
