As August is coming to a close, I thought I'd put together a little blues jam track for you. The song is essentially a 12 bar blues in E "minor-ish", with some funky slides in the rhythm throughout the verse, and a pretty straight ahead chorus. You can practice your pentatonic scales for over 7 minutes on this one.

Today we’re kicking off the 5 Questions series with none other than “Uncle” Ben Eller! In the interview we talk about guitars, practice, awesome video games, and lots more.

No matter what happens throughout the day, one thing I always try and make time for is practicing guitar. It's therapy, it's a way to be creative, and so much more.

In fact, that’s what this whole post is going to be about. While my practice routine changes from time to time depending on different things I’d like to focus on, it always sticks to the sections of time system.

I’m showcasing 7 days of great guitar picks over at my Instagram channel. Check out some of my favorite and most coveted picks!

It always blows my mind when I hear something new and exciting on the guitar. After so long, you slip into thinking you’ve heard it all, and it’s easy to get jaded.

As I’m gearing up for brand new lessons right here on the site, I thought I’d let you know some of the guitarists who’ve been inspiring me lately. I love to listen to a myriad of styles, so there’s sure to be someone on here you might enjoy!
