Hey Reader, I’m going live in about an hour for tonight’s YouTube lesson: How to Learn Songs and Solos Faster on Guitar If learning songs or solos has ever felt frustrating or scattered, this lesson should help a lot. I’ll show you how to break music into sections, work through a few bars at a time, and connect everything in a way that makes it easier to remember and play. I’ll also be using One of These Nights and Hotel California as examples during the lesson. And yes — you’ll have a chance to ask questions live too. We go live at 7:00 PM Central tonight. Watch here: Learn Songs and Solos Faster on Guitar If you can’t attend live, the replay will be available on YouTube. Hope to see you there.

Hey Reader, This week’s lesson is built around 5 classic riffs that are great for more than just learning the song. We’re looking at parts from “Dreamline,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Lights,” “Breakdown,” and “Closer to the Heart.” Each riff gives your hands something useful to work on. Alternate picking, string skipping, timing, and overall fretboard control all show up in a musical way. That’s what I like about practicing riffs like these. You’re not just running an exercise.
