(under construction)
On my youtube channel I have a great many videos that aren’t explicitly focused on technical instruction. These videos offer advice based on experience, answer questions, and talk about topics that contribute to progressing as a complete musician.
Good advice for beginners:
What you need to know to buy your first guitar
How to shop for your second (or third) guitar
The difference between a classical and flamenco guitar
How to choose the right music teacher
Advice and discussion for intermediate and advanced players:
Classical guitar performance advice
Transitioning to 7 or 8 string guitar
Flamenco vs. Classical strings
The myth and the reality of “proper” technique
A Tonal comparison of classical and flamenco guitars
Flamenco guitars with a cedar top?
Amplifying classical and acoustic guitar
How to make your strings last longer
Additional conversations:
Why do musicians use drugs so much?
The stoner illusion (“I’m more creative when I’m high”)
