Short Attention-Span Theater has been designed for those of us with more time than patience. Two minutes is the allotted time frame to grab and keep the our attention. Click the YouTube link and let me know if I’ve succeeded. Probably every classical guitar student has played Bach’s Bouree in Em at some point. It’s a basic part of the repertoire.

The Best Darned Finger Style Guitar Arrangement of John Mayer’s “Stop This Train” You’ve Heard

“Coming back to Youtube.“ It’s been a few years since I did much in the way of video, but with some newly updated tech in the studio–it turns-out that producing high-quality videos is much faster and easier than it was only a few years ago. This is essentially a Solo Finger Style acoustic guitar performance augmented with my trusty Telecaster. Guitars used: Maton EBG808C thru AER compact 60and Fender Telecaster thru BOSS Katana 100 in Ableton Live 10. Looks like watching those FCPX, camera and lighting tutorials are finally starting to pay off!
