I’m a little different than other guitar teachers because I teach the fundamentals of music using a clear structure that I tailor to each student’s goals and learning style. Students develop a strong skill set to use in all kinds of musical situations.
I wrote "The Guitar Lesson Companion" method book series to help make it easier to learn the tough stuff on guitar, and today thousands of guitarists use these books, including faculty at Berklee College of Music.
This channel is specifically for my private students enrolled in lessons or small group classes, as well as students and teachers who use my method book series.

Sounds amazing ! Is this just the Microcosm pedal alone?
What tutorial? It's her showing off. Lousy vid.
Thanks, very good.
Great video. Genial. Very very good. Thanks from Madrid.
Thank!
i was perplexed McLaughlin played a duo-sonic on Miles's Records........now i get it
verry jazzy messy ;) sounds funky & good!
👍🏻
Thanks for checking out my video. To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Great tip to spice things up for her as well
Yep, we all practice!
what do you mean by positions exactly?
Give me your best guess. (I'm a teacher.) 😎
@@leadcatpress CAGED positions presumably?
Yes, I'm basing this off of the CAGED system. This might help you see the big picture: ua-cam.com/video/CqE1NvXdQxQ/v-deo.htmlsi=8QwSvShf3g92hbgk&t=74

Pro tip your picking technique is unique
Yeah, my right hand is a lucky fin, and I do my best.
@@leadcatpress you're doing great man
Thanks, ma'am. Thanks for taking time to check my video.
I watched Tim Henson and Marcin then I watched this...hmm lol
They are very theatrical performers! I'm more into Joe Pass and other jazz and bebop players, but I'm glad you found someone you dig. Cheers!
Beautiful! Mmm, those voicings. <chef’s kiss>
Thanks, just some very straight forward chord melody ideas here.
If that's a mini Strat, you're the smallest person I've seen in a long while. :-)
Thanks? It's nice to have a guitar that fits my body and hands for sure. :)
Nice thing man. Cool video. It'll take some time to see what you're holding but definitely appreciate sharing the idea.
Thanks for taking a listen, ma'am! If you'd like to learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Very even and smooth tone
Thanks for taking a moment to listen. To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Clear and helpful, thank you. The guitar is very cook, looks a bit like a Fender Duo Sonic.
Thanks for checking it out. Here are the guitars I play: leadcatpress.com/guitars-for-small-hands and if you like this lesson, you can learn more here: LeadCatPress.com
Liked and subscribed!!!! Incredible explanation!!!
I'm glad you liked it! To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Love this ! Indulge away…
Thanks, I will! :)
That guitar sounds great
Thanks! It's really hard to get a good tone on it because it needs new frets. I'm glad to know I was able to get it right on this one. Thanks for your feedback. Here's an article I wrote about my guitars: leadcatpress.com/guitars-for-small-hands
This is ridiculous! impressive work man!
I'm not a man, but thank you. :)
Absolutely awesome have a wonderful day ❤😊
Thanks! To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Bravissimo!!!

i am the dog
Ha!
Jazz dog looks on lovingly 😊
I was actually talking to her the whole time so she'd keep looking at me. ;)
hi which guitar is this?
This is my Fender Duo Sonic. I discuss all my small guitars here, in case you're interested: leadcatpress.com/guitars-for-small-hands
Cool Thanks 🍻
Thanks for checking out my video! To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Great job !
Thanks for taking a moment to listen!
Cool 👍🍻🇦🇺
Thanks for checking out my video! To learn more: LeadCatPress.com
Love that tone!
Thanks, I'm working very hard to get a good tone out of this guitar!
Nice is this improvisation?
In jazz, often there is some level of improvisation on the melody, which is what I'm playing here. Every musician plays it a little differently.
Wow, I think Il go back to playing my duosonic.
This is my 1959 Musicmaster, but the Duo Sonics are great, too!
Yes that is a good sound,what scale length is that?
Thanks, I'm working hard to get a decent tone. It's tough on these old student model guitars! The scale length on this 1959 Musicmaster is 22.5"
@@leadcatpress Wow, that's is short scale, I have small hands, struggle with a Tele and I'm trying to convince myself playing a shorter scale guitar is still respectable.
What a great sound! I would have never imagined it from a Musicmaster. Bravo!
Thanks, yeah, it's tough on this old student model guitar!
Great tone I wish I had one
If I don't fool myself, there's a bit of W.Leavitt behind that?
I believe he was the editor of this arrangement.
Beautiful ❤. Flatwounds strings?
They are 9s, round wound. I have some nerve issues in my left arm, so I am taking things easy on this guitar. I'm really pleased to know you thought they were flatwound; that means I'm doing my work. :)
@@leadcatpress great work always. Thank for the music and so many things ...all the best
Beautifully round and smooth tone as always. Nicely in the pocket.
Pass
One of the best!
Really cool. Loved how the melody shined through
Oh wow, thanks, I appreciate that. Cheers!
cool!
Thanks for taking a moment to listen. Cheers!
wooow thats nice 🙂 i like the chords style
Thanks so much!
Beautiful guitar 🎸. Great lesson . Thank you 😊

Emily Remler right? Love her work and great doing this!!
Yes!
We all love this tune!
Agreed!
What song is this?
Cool!
Thanks for taking a few moments to listen!
cool awesome genius
Thanks for taking a few moments to listen!
@@leadcatpress yes sure! When I was teenager at my music high shool I played Satin Doll also on Guitar with our Shool Jazz Band.... ( guitar, keys, bass, drums, 2x sax) 🙂 I also like Bag's groove :)
What backing track was this over? I have a soft spot for latin jazz.
It's just a loop of a minor 2-5-1 progression, which is a common progression in latin jazz. Good ear!!!
Nice sound. Almost Sitar like. Plays good?
Yeah, that sitar sound is what I'm trying to avoid... :( I'm back on my little fake Tele and I hope to find a way to make it work; I just dig the tone on it so much more than on my other guitars right now.
Wow! Beautifully done! Thank you for posting!
Glad you enjoyed it!
