What This Lesson Covers:
In this lesson, I have written out 10 pages of Tablature covering 36 Licks In The Key of A in Standard Open G Tuning (GBDGBD). Normally people need to use a Capo to play in the Key of A. However, in this lesson I show you how to use the open strings to your advantage! The Key of A with no Capo is great for playing Blues and the majority of these licks are Blues Licks. However, you can also use them for Bluegrass and even Western Swing. In this video I also talk about what scales and chord tones these licks are derived from.

All you need to do is just "CUT AND PASTE" these Filler Licks and Rolls and whatever order you want, keep good rhythm, and make sure you change when the chord changes, and before too long you sound like you know what you're doing! And You Will!!! :-)
This lesson also comes with 2 Jam Tracks of a really common Bluegrass/Folk chord progression, one at 85 BPM and another at 100 BPM. They are great for practicing these Licks and Rolls!!!

What This Lesson Covers:
This is Volume #4 of my series "Combining Rolls & Licks" for Resonator Guitar (aka Dobro®). In this lesson I cover "Minor Rolls & Licks" in the Key of Em (E minor). The chords we will be working with will be Em, Am, and B. (I'm keeping the V chord Major) This lesson also comes with a Full Color Diagram of all kinds of minor chords you can play on the Dobro®.
Because we are in the Key of Em and it is the Relative Minor of the key of G major, you could also use the licks you've learned in the last 3 volumes and see how they will sound over the Minor Backing Track. In a lot of cases G licks can also be used over an Em chord. Try It!!! And see what I'm talking about!
The Jam Tracks come in 3 different speeds... 80, 100, and 110 BPM.
Em is a really fun key to play in, and I think you really enjoy jamming on the Licks and Rolls with the included Jam Tracks!!!
Have Fun and Thanks Again!!!

What This Video Covers:
In this lesson I teach you an original song I wrote called "Gone Too Soon". It's in the Key of G and is a nice slow & pretty song that's a lot of fun to play. It has tons of arpeggios and also room for you to really use dynamics in your playing. (Playing Soft or Loud or in between) This tune sounds great played just solo Dobro. Also, I've put the Chords in the Tablature so you could have someone back you up on guitar if you want too. I think you'll really have fun playing this one!!!
Thanks Again! Enjoy the Lesson,

This is Volume #1 of a new series on the site called "How To Play By Ear". In this lesson I teach how to take 2 versions of a C Major Scale and find "Simple" melodies within that basic scale shape. By learning these "Scale Positions/Shapes" one is easily able to move the Grips or the Shapes around the neck in order to play melodies in different keys. In this lesson (Video #1) I teach you the Major Scale Shapes and how I take basic simple melodies and show you how they fit within the scale shape and how you can easily harmonize the melody. In Video #2 we work with the tune Amazing Grace. I show you how it fits within the scale shape, how to harmonize, and how to play it in any key. This lesson also comes with Tablature, Handouts, and 12 Mp3 Tracks for playing along with "Amazing Grace" (1 For Every Key!!!)
This lesson is great to help you Understand the Fretboard and give you a better understanding of useful music theory!

What This Lesson Covers:
This is Volume 2 of my "How To Play By Ear Series". In this lesson we follow up with what we learned in Volume 1, and we are learning how to find all the "Chord Tones" or Arpeggios of each Chord in the Key of C in Closed Position (No Open Strings). By doing this and adding what you learned in Volume #1 (The Major Scale in 2 Versions), you will have a really good understanding of the fretboard in closed position. This should allow you the ability to now know Scales and Arpeggios in a great Movable Closed Position. So when you are playing by ear you now will have lots of tools at your disposal to really find those notes, melodies, or licks your are looking for, in a great movable shape.

We are in the Key of C, but everything covered in this lesson can be moved around to other Keys as well. I go over a Huge Amount Of Chord Progressions, 28 Total!!! Each chord progression comes with an Mp3 Jam track so you can hear what it sounds like, and practice either playing the chords, or improvising over the progression. I also go over playing chord tones on your first string, and how to navigate your way through the chord changes by playing on 1 string, playing in moved block positions, playing what you learned in the previous 2 lessons, using scales or arpeggios.
It's really important to be able to hear and understand a variety of chord progressions, and I think you'll find the lesson plus all the included 28 JAM TRACKS a real useful tool in further improving your ear!!!
Have Fun! Thanks Again!
