Video podcasts
Welcome to my series of short video tutorials looking at different aspects of guitar technique.
Notes and scores for all examples can be downloaded for each podcast. These contain extra information and suggestions to support the podcasts, so I'd strongly suggest downloading them.
Select a podcast heading to launch the podcast player. If you are having any difficulties contact the webmaster.
Just retired and beginning to have time to work through your excellent podcasts. As a plectrum player, some of the detail is not readily applicable, but the lessons are the best I have ever seen. Thanks.
