One of Syn's really useful tips in Lesson 37 was to commit as much of the Circle of Fifths to memory as possible - something I had put off doing for a while before joining the school. So I decided to memorize it properly and see if I could write a short instrumental cycling through all 12 keys in Lydian - which gives it this weird wonky feel - I put a creative twist in this one and got my foot involved too. Definitely had too much fun making this :D enjoy!

Playing another headline show tonight, remembering everyone's wise words from before and bringing my f**k you
Thinking about posting a quick Triads video lesson when I get the time - It would be a lesson teaching you how to break out of your scale shapes momentarily and get some simple but cool melodies going. Would this be of use to anyone on here?
Let me know and hope everyone has a cracking day!
Hey guys, as usual, all help is appreciated! This is my band's new single 'Wish You Were Here'
Written about how lonely we all felt during lockdown 
Feel free to stream it within an inch of it's life!

Hey guys, I need your help!
My band just dropped our new single 'SILENT DISCO' and we're trying to get loads of streams on Spotify on day one to make the algorithm tick in our favor. If you like catchy indie with a breakdown then this tune is for you
You can give the track a spin here: https://spoti.fi/3BgRhzF
Also here's the Music Video:
Enjoy!
So recently, I bit the bullet and got a Line 6 Helix - Here's a test recording/improvisation I did with one of the patches I made
I just love PRS, the thrill of the chase trying to get Royalties from over a year ago is what makes me want to wake up and write tunes for TV in the morning
So yesterday I realised I hit a new teaching milestone - I've now reached 30 students & for the first time in my career & I'm very close to having to turn new students away. Crazy to think during the first lockdown I had only 2 students a week!
Teaching my band's tune 'SHY' to my student today - he's unknowingly the recipient of our first ever official TAB
#pinchyourselfmoment
Got to love when a Student no shows their first lesson that you were an hour early & prepped for 
Just posting to say I hope everyone is good! I've been crazily busy with my teaching business & had some family issues, hence why I've been pretty much radio silent on here
I'll be trying to post & help in the forums to get back into the swing of things!
So the new Scottish Lockdown is meaning that I can't teach people in person for the foreseeable - Are there any Teachers on here that know of good places to advertise their lessons for Zoom? Or Any Zoom tips in general?
Thanks in advance!
Happy New Year everyone! Here's hoping it's better than the last!
Merry Christmas Eve Everyone! Hope you're all keeping safe & well wherever you are
My Lesson Video for The Musical Alphabet & How to Use it is finished and rendering now! - I'll post it in Tutorials when it's uploaded It's 12 mins long - as it goes quite in depth. It should hopefully be of use to someone 
Managed to make a Sweep Picking breakthrough yesterday! Turns out I've been neglecting my left hand muting a bit - it's funny how the tiniest change can make something so much easier to play
Last night I happened upon the Jacob Collier side of Youtube again...everytime this happens I wake up the next day and try to reharmonize everything - today I finally took it too far and reharmed Happy Birthday into 3 keys - send help
Here it is guys! This is for anyone who wants to get their Pentatonics all over the neck with the least amount of effort
Thinking of uploading a really short Pentatonic tip lesson today, would this be of use to anyone?
I've recently realized how much I enjoy making split/multi-screen Guitar Videos, so I've made another short one messing around with a Quintuplet groove and stacking Major, Major7 & Min7 chords on top of each other to get really sparkly voicings uploading soon! -
