Your Guitar Workshop

Welcome to my channel!

I’ve been creating guitar content since 2010, sharing hundreds of videos on YouTube and nearly 500 lessons on my course website, FromBeginnerToGuitarist.com. My goal is to help you learn with confidence and play with passion through live streams, tutorials, and structured courses.

Whether you're picking up the guitar for the first time or looking to refine your skills, you'll find practical lessons, play-along tracks, and in-depth insights to support your journey.

Thanks for being here—let’s make music together!

Your Guitar Workshop

Last Friday I had a serious mountain bike accident — 8 broken ribs and a partially collapsed lung. I spent a few days in the ICU, then was transferred to another hospital, and this morning I was finally allowed to go home to recover.

I can’t play guitar right now, but I still want to stay connected and create something meaningful while I heal.

I’ll try to do a livestream as soon as I’m able to sit upright for long enough — in the meantime, if you have any ideas for content that doesn’t require a guitar, I’d love to hear them. Drop them in the comments below. 🙏

Thanks for being here — your support means the world. 💛

Your Guitar Workshop

Thursday April 10th at 815pm pacific time we are going to explore a seriously powerful soloing concept:

Building triads off each chord tone of a 7th chord
…then pairing them with diatonically adjacent triads to unlock fresh, melodic soloing ideas.

Be there or be elsewhere ;-)
