I just released Mastering the Fretboard: A Guide for Blues Guitarists — a simple but powerful guide to help you unlock the fretboard and find your way around with confidence.
🎸 Every guitarist secretly wants to play fast...
That’s why I’m so excited to share this — Silvio Gazquez’s 12-Week Shred Transformation program is back!
It’s a step-by-step system with 12 practice routines (one for each week) that take your chops from intermediate to advanced way quicker than you think. I went through it myself and it made a huge difference.
🔥 I tried learning one of the hardest solos ever… Joe Pass's "Night and Day" 🎸
Lately I’ve been diving deep into solo guitar—no backing tracks, just me and my guitar.
To really challenge myself, I decided to learn a solo by the master: Joe Pass. And wow… it was humbling. I expected tough chords and lines—but the physical challenge?
Next level.
Still, I learned a ton about mixing textures, keeping things interesting, and pushing my limits.
Would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!
Learning and playing through all these songs has been a fun (and challenging!) journey.
I did my best to capture the magic of each tune, and my goal was to bring out the unique character and groove with an arrangement meant for just one guitar.
If you’re looking to build up your own blues repertoire, this course walks you through each song step-by-step. You’ll not only learn the notes but also how to play them with the right feel and emotion that make these songs so special.
I hope you enjoy the performance! And if you’re interested in learning this one, along with tons of other classic blues tunes, check out the course link below!

Over the past few months, I’ve been sticking to my clean tone—but I figured it was time to crank things up a notch and get a little dirtier, lol.
Here’s a cool riff I came up with during practice…

I've been working on rhythmic subdivisions a lot lately...
Nuttin too fancy, but just really trying to be aware of, say, how 8th note phrases fit into a blues.
It's a great way to combine chords and single note lines together, which is something I think every guitarist should strive for.
In this lesson, I talk about adding in simple single note runs in between the chords.
Hope you enjoy it… it should give you lots of your own ideas hopefully.

🔥 I'm really pumped to share this acoustic cover of Muddy Water's "Honey Bee".
Eventually I'll be teaching all these tunes but for now I just want to prove to myself that I can perform these tunes the way I imagined.
Enjoy!
