Note: In several of the course videos I mention going back to certain sections. I'm actually referring to certain sections of the coursebook (link above) for more comprehensive explanations.

IMPORTANT BIG NEWS: I'm making the course videos for "The Creative Guitarist" masterclass FREE right here on my YouTube channel!

Over the coming weeks, I'll be uploading and releasing "The Creative Guitarist" course videos on YouTube in my efforts to get the word out to more people about the course's main mission: teaching people "How to Write Expressive, Emotional, and Melodic Lead Guitar Solos"!

The videos will be available on my "The Creative Guitarist" Playlist as they're released, so be sure and bookmark it for future reference.

"What's the catch?" you might be asking. Only one: you'll still have to purchase the coursebook if you want access to the book (unless you've already purchased the full course in the past). Also, some of the elements in the full course can't be transported to YouTube in an effective way.

That's the nature of YouTube since it's not an actual course-learning platform. So if you'd like any extra bonuses or materials I can't provide on YouTube, you'll still have to purchase the course. But good news: I've drastically lowered the price to be more affordable since the main videos are now being made available for free. Plus, if you get the full course, the coursebook is included!

I’ve been reading Psalms lately, and chapter 3, verse 3 keeps coming back to me. Today while reading it again, I was reminded of a song based on this Psalm that I performed with @peachtreelearningcenter several years ago.

I want to share that song with you today in hopes of encouraging you to look to the Lord Almighty as your source of peace, comfort, and victory over the enemy.
