When I’m not strumming the guitar, I’m out exploring the strange, mysterious, and fascinating corners of Ohio — from haunted cemeteries to forgotten landmarks, roadside oddities, and small-town secrets. You’ll also find art projects, DIY adventures, and unique travel experiences that capture the creative and curious spirit of life in the Buckeye State.

But that’s not all…If you’ve ever wanted to learn guitar the easy, fun way, you’ve found the right place! I break down classic songs into simple, 3-chord versions that anyone can play — even if you’re just getting started. Grab your acoustic, pull up a chair, and let’s make some music together!

I have been asked for BASIC lessons so this week, I will launch the first video in a series of BEGINNER lessons that will show single chords, and variations of that chord in each video. We will start with the G chord and then follow up with C and D. Then we will work them all together to make some impromptu performances that will permit even the beginner sound good!
So if YOU know someone that wants to learn the very basics of playing guitar, please share my channel with them!
And as always, it’s FREE and all about having fun!

I am considering an OhioJimbo Podcast Series this year. What should the content be about?

I need input: For EASY guitar lessons - Would you prefer just chords and tips for the key parts to these popular songs, or the FULL song with my questionable singing abilities?

🎉 10,000 SUBSCRIBERS?! 🎉
Well slap my capo and call me a content creator — we did it! 10,000 of you wild, wonderful folks decided to hit that Subscribe button, and I’m equal parts honored and confused. (Kidding. Mostly.)

Seriously, THANK YOU. Whether you came for the haunted places, the easy guitar songs, or just wanted to see what a grown man named Jimbo does with a camera and some Ohio folklore… I appreciate you more than a Bigfoot loves blurry photos.

Now the big question:
How do we celebrate this milestone?

A behind-the-scenes look at the chaos?

Shoutouts to some of YOU legends?

A giveaway? (I mean… who wouldn’t want an OhioJimbo T-shirt to wear proudly/confuse strangers?)

Or maybe I should just keep making fun, weird, mysterious, guitar-filled content like always?

I’m all ears (and calluses), so drop your ideas in the comments! YOU got me here — now help me make this moment even cooler.

Here’s to the next 10K… onward, upward, and possibly weirder. 🚀🎸👻

Ok. So guitar lessons seem to be winning in the question if what content that you want!

Do you prefer “groupings” of songs like:
A.) 3-chord songs in key of G?
B.) Lessons on songs from a particular singer/artist?
C.) Lessons grouped by ERA like songs from the 50’s, 60’s or 70’s?

I am excited that the views are climbing and that my channel is growing. Please share with friends that want to play guitar so I can hit that next milestone of 10k followers.

Let me know if there are any certain songs that you would like to learn how to play in just 3 chords!
