Get my free 30-Song Funk & Soul Songbook. These are the songs my 100k+ followers used to improve their guitar playing. Perfect for levelling up rhythm, timing, feel, and your overall musicianship.

The weekly email for guitar players who are tired of boring lessons. Riffs you can steal, theory without the tears, hot takes, rock history, and gear we love (and hate), all in one fun read every week.

I extemporize on the keys and compose live. Playing piano is like writing in my journal and each piece has a story. As a gift I would love to give you one of my piano pieces called Permission to Feel.

I started The Healthy Voice to teach people how to reclaim and love their voice.
