Hey everyone, thought I'd share one of my all time favourite blues guitarists Joe Bonamassa. I lil video of hes style and then followed by a video of some of his influences and styles. Let me know what you think and if you like it let me know and I will cover some of his licks in a video lesson with tabs and share it with you!
The below is off of his Joe Bonamassa Rocking The Blues Guitarist DVD. Also he shows a quick tutorial on how to play swell chords...has a bit of a violin synth sound to it.
Happy Rocking!!

DIY Capo
One of my students Mike sent me this pic over the holidays very excited about his idea he had for a DIY capo.. it looked funky and even better it WoRkS!! Yes Please!
I was really chuffed and thought I'd post it here for all you guys to use if you dont have your own capo at home..
Basically you use a normal pencil and a couple of elastic bands to hold it down nice and snug on which ever fret your playing on. Sure it will be a pain if you want to take it off or move to a different fret but for the most part its awesome.
Mike bud thanks for the pic and the initiative

Happy 2012!!!
Hey everyone! So I've been sooooooo quiet the last two months but its a new year and its going to be a rocking one! Last year was an awesome year, I accomplished a lot musically and my students all did abselutely awesome..big ups to you guys, you're great!! So I was on holiday for a few days and ofcourse I dragged my guitar with me....how could I not???
But just enjoying my music I started thinking of what I wanted to accomplish in 2012 ?? What do I lack in terms of theory maybe? Scales? What techniques do I always avoid because they can get way too insane and besides I dont even use them! WrOnG! So now I have set some personal goals and not just for me, but with my students..new developments, concerts comming up and a lot more social events..
SO! My question to you lot is...what do you want to achieve this year with your music?? What do you want to spend more time on?? Maybe some new songs?? Post them here and I will cover how to play them! Some lead guitar techniques??
Leave me your thoughts and comments and especially what you guys did in the holidays.
Happy Rocking guys
