Just a small but significant milestone on the old YouTube journey! πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻πŸ’ͺ🏻 As always, many thanks to all you lovely humans that continue to support my little corner of the internet. Although some days can feel like I'm tumbleweed floating through a universe of guitar tutorials, I often receive some truly humbling comments which make it all worthwhile! 🎸

New Josh Smith style solo up on YT: https://youtu.be/9CsqdWrRq7c

I had planned on doing a proper walkthrough as he's such a monster of a player and uses such great ideas, but a fire alarm down the road going off all day put paid to that... Now I'm away gigging - maybe if there's interest I'll do a part 2 when I'm back!

I've also recently been trying out the Dunlop Jazztone 207 pick, so I'll thought I'd try it out on this track - it's a bit of a beast and much thicker than I'm used to (2.0mm!). Faster articulation - not so sure yet, but it sounds great! I'll try out the 208 which has a more pointed tip. Loving the feel and sound so far - maybe I'll be a convert!

It's been a busy week at Tiny Monkey studios - one video lesson in the bag ready for pre-Christmas guitar shenanigans and I also had the absolute pleasure of welcoming the amazing John Wheatcroft to the podcast. He's an absolute monster player and the most articulate and knowledgable guitarist I know. He did loads of amazing playing, sharing his ridiculous knowledge of outside playing, theory, practice, jazz phrasing and more. This will blow your minds! 🀯

Is this the best drive pedal? Without doubt it's the best one I've ever owned - so much so that I haven't bought another one in over 3 years - that's a new record! πŸ˜‚ What's yours?

So.....I had a little chat the other day with my good friend Jim Clark - he's a fabulous rock guitar player and teacher here in the UK, and he has recently brought out an eBook on how he visualises the fretboard. I thought I might turn it into a podcast - not sure if this'll turn into a regular thing, but who knows! I really enjoyed talking (sometimes ranting!) about modern students, social media, learning licks vs digging deeper and much much more. If I do it again I'll sort out the slightly scuzzy video and quiet guitar sounds, so be gentle!

Little sneak peak of a lesson I was recording last week. Anyone who's followed my channel knows I'm a massive Robben Ford fan, and I'll be looking at his use of the beautiful Lydian Dominant scale within a minor blues - extremely excited for this one as it's probably my favourite Robben outside sound! Just the small matter of editing down over an hour of footage into something more manageable... πŸ˜…πŸ˜±πŸ€―
