New video - I have this set up as an instant premier if folks want to discuss today but it's all about my experiences setting up the Fractal FM3 to play live and how it worked out on the gig:

Lessons learned from my first live gigs with the Fractal FM3! I got to use my Fractal FM3 live for the first time this week and I'm going over how I worked my sounds out, problems that I had and my approach to getting a...

New for this week! It's a slow blues in G - this one took a while to get right because I wanted it to feel more like a band playing and less of a "backing track". Check it out!

This week's video is kind of "part 1" of the pickup comparison. The guitar currently has the Suhr v60lp pickups in it and I'm going to play it this week and see if they stay or it goes back to the Antiquities!

I decided to make a video to announce the new free PDF resources for blank sheet music and guitar tab, chord charts, and neck paper but I realized that it would also be a good opportunity to demonstrate how I'm using my iPad and Apple Pencil when I teach online or how I can mark up music with the iPad during in-person lessons and classes. Let me know what you think!

Do you need blank PDFs of guitar tab, standard sheet music notation paper, guitar chord grids, or guitar necks? I have a new section on my website with those files and more including a free guitar chord reference PDF.
