In this blog I will teach various techniques and lessons on the guitar and drums that should help musicians of all types. From people who've just started to the advanced player. My goal is for you to learn at least one thing from this blog and retain it. But enough of the chit chat, let us play some music!

Hey, lets take a little break from lessons and how about I show something that I have covered. In this video I do a guitar cover of a song called "The Raising Fighting Spirit". This was a really fun song to do because the original harmony of this song is actually played by a flute and the song itself is japanese. You'll definitely be able to hear that japanese tone in the middle/slash end of song. Enjoy!

The Beginners chord chart for guitar players.
The chord chard below is the very basic chords of the acoustic guitar and should be memorized by all beginners. Once you have all these guitar chords memorized you can basically play almost any of your favorite song by just having these basic chords memorized. This is where the foundation of guitar playing starts, and once you have these chords mastered your journey to being a guitar player will only just begin.
Guitar Lesson 2 - Individual string playing (beginner)
In this lesson I will be teaching you how playing strings individually can make you sound excellent.
Guitar Center
If your in the state of Kansas and your looking for a drum set, guitar, recording equipment, pianos, musical accessories, and basically anything musically related that you need to buy, Guitar Center is your best choice. Even if you don't feel like buying anything you can go there and just play on a instrument of your choice for a bit. It's fun and great place to be for musicians.

Beginners drum tip for playing a song.
My first lesson will be for you awesome drummers out there! In my latest drum cover on the song Earthquake by Family Force Five I demonstrate that drummers can still sound amazing without doing so much. As you watch, notice how I won't do crazy drum stuff every time there is a verse change. There's this notion among new drummers that think if they have to do a super long drum fill after every verse. This tip mainly applies to the beginners. So remember, It is better to keep it confined than all over the place, because that is what will make you sound like a pro! Enjoy!
