No. My tutorials include clear chord shapes, picking patterns, and count-along demos. Tabs are optional and sold on Musicnotes.
Start with whichever excites you. Acoustic is simple to set up; electric is easier on fingers with lighter strings.
10–15 focused minutes a day beats a long session once a week. Consistency wins.
Not with the right sequence. I start with thumb + one finger, then layer patterns gradually.
Press closer to the fret, curl fingertips, and check each string slowly. Go slower than you think.
Tuner, capo, spare strings, and a comfortable strap. Nice-to-have: clip-on mic or audio interface for recording.
Yep—send it via the request form on the Lessons page. I prioritize popular requests.
On Musicnotes—search my name or follow the link on the Tabs page.
