Do you have something you do to relax, like reading, writing, or walking? As you may know, I put a lot of energy into my 1-on-1 lessons and this community. I want to help people feel confident and creatively free when picking up the guitar. But it’s not always easy. This month I almost worked a bit too much. Luckily, I saw it coming and took some time off to read and rest. What's your favourite down-time activity?

Here's a little snippet from a lesson i had with @Jaime Ayala earlier today. He had a breakthrough moment when he was able to see the fretboard more clearly. Big win! 🤩 What's your biggest breakthrough moment on the guitar so far? 🎸

Geoffrey and I started learning chordal scales (harmonized scales) a while back. For someone who just wanted to learn solos and leads, this is a big step forward. Here's a sneak peek into our lessons and his progression in the past weeks. Congrats @Geoffrey Becker! Keep up the consistency and good work 🎸🤘 I know I went through the topic in this video fast because I just wanted to focus on Geoffrey's progress, but if you're interested in learning this fretboard navigation exercise as well, feel free to reach out to me and I'll be happy to give you a helping hand 😊

Here's a little behind-the-scenes footage from a recent lesson I had with my student Vicente. We were learning how to improvise over "Scar Tissue" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. He had never navigated the neck like this before. So he had a pretty big ah-a moment. Lots of fun with slow and steady progress 😁

Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of meeting @Joseph Kazer one of my students and fellow members of the group. He's been a student for a while now. And he just happened to be on vacation with his family in Norway. So we decided to hang out for a bit. I found myself behind the drums, which is not my main instrument, but it was cool for this little jam session that you see a snippet of in the videos below. This is going to be the first in many student meetups in the future. Let's go!
