Over the years I’ve produced podcast episodes and YouTube videos. I finally decided to compose my own music to use as soundtracks for those podcast episodes and videos. It’s been fun. Maybe I’ll do another real project one of these days.
Here are some of those tracks…

I am so happy to announce my newest website, JAZZGUITARPATH.COM. I’m developing this site as a place for musicians who want to keep learning, exploring, and growing.
You will find free online guitar lessons covering practical subjects such as scale patterns, Western harmony, music theory, improvisation, and the language of jazz guitar. These are important tools. They can help us understand the instrument, hear more clearly, and move around the fretboard with greater freedom.
But music is more than information.
Knowing more scales, chords, and theory does not automatically mean we have something to say. At some point, the deeper questions begin to matter.
How do we find our own voice?
How do we play with more feeling?
How do we phrase in a way that sounds natural and alive?
How do we stop simply running patterns and begin saying something through the instrument?
This, and much more, is what I want to help players with on this new online resource.
I’ll also be writing essays featuring some of the most important jazz guitarists… Alive… and not so alive. So many great players to learn about all in one place. Really looking forward to developing this section more and more.
Man, this is a fun project.
