Jingle Bells Blues
Jingle Bells Blues! This is a fun one, and you’ll learn both the melody and a solo by yours truly. Let’s Jingle!
Stretching The Blues
Back in 2013, I submitted a mini-course for how to play a 12 bar blues solo to Truefire’s Next Top Guitar Instructor. I was lucky enough to win the contest – an amazing accomplishment for me! The lessons have been freely available on YouTube ever since, but I have now made them available here as […]
1 Easy Blues Lick in 5 Locations
Here’s a very easy blues lick, and I’ll do a follow up on this one later, with more examples and more “meat”. This is a free one I put on YouTube as a promotional tool to bring more players over to MGA. You can access the free lesson here. Naturally, I have created Soundslice for […]

Perhaps I should have added this one to the Hendrix Chord Embellishment course, but I have put it under Lick Of The Week instead. By now, I’m sure you have noticed how […]
Cool 6 String Blues Lick
Here’s a short little blues lick, that covers all 6 strings. Want tab and backing track? Here you go. I think you can hear some SRV in there? I added some of my own “moves” and I hope you dig it. Member have the Soundslice version available here.
MGA Chat #4
Practicing to backing tracks is a GREAT routine you should stick to, at least a couple of times per week. It can be done in so many different ways. In this MGA Chat #4, I’ll give you a few ideas. Here are some other areas you can focus on, when playing along to backing tracks: […]
Student Focus #4
Sorry for the incorrect subject line in the email I sent out! I screwed that up as I was sending out the email. The subject should have been “MGA News – Student Focus #4”. In this one, I’m looking at what Chuck sent me. I’m providing some suggestions for improvement that I think all of […]
