Products I Recommend And Use:
I get asked this all the time...which beginner guitars do I recommend?

Electric Guitar: Yamaha Pacifica. The most versatile electric guitar for the beginner and beyond. they do rock, blues, jazz and metal and anything else you can think of! I LOVE them!

Acoustic Guitar: Cort AF510 - These have a folk sized body, which is a smaller sized body better for lady chests, and coffee bellies. I've sold lots of these guitars to students and they're impressively well put together. I always have a bunch in when I teach my live guitar classes at my music school.

    🤯🤯🤯Those are the 14 minutes that I never understood in my life. Now I finally know why the blue note or bendings slides e.t.c. just a connector to continue playing over the whole neck. Thank you very much for these 14 minutes which I have been looking for since I was 12 years old.
  • @johnmaloney1681
    I've always called this idiosyncrasy the "B string offset", applied when crossing from 3rd string to the 2nd string, or vice-versa. It's such an important thing for frustrated guitarists to understand. I've never thought about string pairs before & not sure why I would need to, but I appreciate different conceptualizations. Enjoying your videos.
  • @zigzag613

    Eyup! I’ve been enjoying your videos and lessons for a while now. Your book delivers today…thanks for the videos and sharing your musical knowledge.

    keeping the string trees lubricated and the nut slots and saddles can help - also, before tightening up each string - when putting on new guitar strings -( yet still snug ) on your strat / tele type guitars you can press down on each of the strings about ½ cm past the edge of the saddle towards the neck also just past the nut press down on the string towards the first fret - SRV his guitar tech explained this in a video on YouTube < mojo tone > hopefully this can be helpful for some folks depending on folks playing style and guitar
