Guitar Lessons

I recommend using Guitar Tricks for learning all other styles of guitar like Blues, Rock, country, jazz. They have excellent instructors and professional video lessons. Plus, they have  a free 14 day trial, so check it out!

Books

If you are interested in learning about all the different styles of Jamaican music including Mento, Calypso, Ska,, Reggae, & Dub, then I would recommend this book. Alfred music books are really good, and I use them when I teach kids guitar and piano at the YMCA.

 

I purchased this book while I was playing rhythm guitar for my college jazz ensemble and it proved to be very useful. Its good for learning how to read music, chord charts, and learning classic jazz standards.

 

 


Great book for learning how to read music for guitar, scale positions, and chord charts. It’s taken my playing to the next level, and I continue to use it during practice.

Jam Tracks

Good for jammin on some solos’s or practicing your rhythm playing!

Musician Gear
