What is this website for?
This blog is a place for me and any of my students, compadre’s or random internet visitors to place their thoughts and opinions. Note: you need to create a user account and sign in to leave your own contributions.
The site is primarily guitar based BUT (did you notice that was a big but?) anything that is related to a guitarists way of life will be accepted onto the blog. You will see postings of guitar tips and tricks, discussions on current and all time favourite guitar (and non-guitar) music, links to instructional websites and videos, opinions on what is good and evil and what music can do to make things better, universal discovery and how music has influenced and inspired our planets greatest scientists and explorers….
You get the general idea.
The site is currently in it’s infancy but things will start to appear soon. Feel free to post with your ideas and comments. Almost anything goes.
Thank you for your visit. You are very welcome here.
The Guitar Master

After learning some basic lead guitar tricks like the pentatonic scales, you may feel ready for something a little more challenging.
The next logical step is to begin practicing arpeggios and trying to employ the sweep picking technique. Sweep picking is a technique where the plectrum is literally “raked” or “swept” up and down the strings in a constant action, whilstthe left hand fingers go crazy trying to keep up. This tutuorial is an excellent, excellent place to start. (If the link does not work then please email me.)
See how you get on.
