Just uploaded a big new lesson! 🎸
If you’ve ever struggled with weak hammer-ons or pull-offs, this one’s for you.

I put all 3 levels of my slur exercises into one full practice routine (+ the Slur Combo).
Start wherever you’re comfortable and follow along — these drills really do strengthen your left hand fast.

👉 Watch the full lesson here: https://youtu.be/CZaREFj3V14

If you check it out, let me know which level challenged you the most!

Happy Holidays! If you're a fan of Christmas carols then you might enjoy some of my recent uploads! ❄️🎄 Many of them are relatively easy classical guitar arrangements by the late John Duarte. I've also created a playlist with this brand new collection. Hope you enjoy! 🎵
