Welcome to the new members only portion of the website. Inside you will find a ton of new lesson material for flat picking and bluegrass guitar. These lessons are video based with handouts and focus on developing creative choices, arranging/improvisation and technique. One of my main goals is to get players off of tabs and away from playing things the same way over and over again.

​Note: When you pay through PayPal, it triggers an email to be sent to you for setting up your account (user name and password). Sometimes it takes a few minutes for that email to show up. Don't worry if you only see a blank screen after you submit your payment. I am working on streaming this process but over all it's working fine, just a little slow.

Note: I have tested the new site on laptops, iPads and iPhones. It works great on all three platforms but if the videos load slow or don't load on your phone or iPad, try clearing your cookies. That seems to do the trick!
