Love any excuse to play these D minor 9 chords. Thought I'd share them.

I didn't include the C or dominant 7th but you can throw them in there but I like...

Here is a new free lesson for Vintage Guitar Magazine. It shows simple chord positions in G, C & F that only require two fingers. These shapes also make great double stops.

Hey folks,

Here is a tutorial for the beautiful introduction to St. Stephen by the the Grateful Dead. I've always loved this melody.

I use a closed position because I think it captures the feel...

Hey ya'll,

I gave a test run of my Ryder EM-35 for Vintage Guitar Magazine to promote my record Deep River.

I ran the the mandolin through the same pedal configuration I used on the...

Beautiful and underrated mandolin record. I will try to post a few transcriptions soon.

Have you tried Polytone amps? They are solid state amps with a very clean tone and are great for jazz. Joe Pass and Sam Bush both use them. Here is a clip of my Polytone Mini Brute with my Ryder 5...

Hey Travis,

I play a lot of open tunings on the 5 string and I tend to bring at least one to my live shows. I made a video going over a few basics in the open D tuning (D,A,D,A,D) which I also...

Hey Folks,

Here is short lesson for the Grateful Dead's Tennessee Jed. It's a cool lick in the key of C that is based around two C major scale shapes that I move between.

I'm using my Steve...

Hey Folks,

Here is a short Tennessee Jed lesson by the Dead. It can be played using the same fingering on the acoustic mandolin. You might want to use slides instead of bends. It's a great tune...

Hey Alan, it seems like the song is generally in G but not terribly hard to transpose if needed. Especially with the closed position melody.

Hey Folks,

Tried to post this in the Grateful Dead Section but I don't see it. So here is a China Cat Sunflower lesson. Hope it is useful and let me know what you think!

I received a request...

Hey Folks,

I made a quick video of China Cat Sunflower to add to this thread. I love playing this intro with a click and experimenting with the phrasing. Let me know what you think or if you have...

Hey Y'all,

Just finished a quick lesson for St. Thomas by saxophonist Sunny Rollins. It's a classic jazz standard and really fun groove to play over. I've been working on a transcription of ...

Hey ya'll

Cool discussion. I made a quick demo of how open strings and alternate fingering can change the sound of a phrase. In my experience it works well in ballads and less in barn burners.

Doug,

I just added tab to the video. This was in fact the way to go. Thanks for the feedback and the tab! I'll try to make a little study that shows similar phrases and how playing them in various...

Hey Mark,

By letting open strings ring when you play musical passages you can get some interesting intervals to ring out. Play a G (5th fret of D string) and hold it down while letting the open A...

Hey y'all,

I've been wanting to make a few videos that highlight techniques I work on in the practice room and with my students. The idea is to cover concepts that I hope pickers will find...
