MORNING PICK - Volume 1
I want to try something.
Most mornings I start the same way. Cup of coffee, unplugged guitar, couch. Just playing and thinking.
Over the years some of my best little discoveries have happened in those quiet morning sessions — small things that don't need a full lesson but are worth sharing. A technique I've been thinking about. A concept that clicked. A question a student asked that stuck with me.
So I'm going to start filming some of them.
Short videos. One to four minutes. Straight from the couch, no editing, no production. I'm calling it Morning Pick.
This first one is about how softly I actually pick — and why most guitarists pick way harder than they need to. The unplugged guitar makes it easy to hear the difference.
Hope it's useful. More coming soon.

P.S. — If you want to go deeper than morning tips, the Essential Skills Course covers the three frameworks I've built my playing around — the Number System, the CAGED System, and the Landmark Pentatonic System.
