Absolutely fantastic video, Jeff! Many years ago, I had a guitar teacher that said that the very best guitar melodies that we can create are those that can be sung more than played. He would play a rhythm and then just sing a melody over it. Then he’d go back and try to play the melody on guitar, working to capture vocal nuances as much as he could. Anyway, this approach made a ton of sense to me and it’s how I still think about melodies to this day.
Btw: highly recommend is Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin album Love Devotion and Surrender. Oldie for sure, but one of the best lesser known bits of buried guitar treasure.
Oh, man, thanks for the heads-up on the added content. The Melodic Soloing course is one of my favorites, so I'll be diving into that new section. Cheers and thanks again!
Hi Jeff, your dog looks so much like my Keno, but dark brown with white on the neck, a white diamond on her head and two white paws. If I can find out how to send you a picture I will. Google always posts my pictures to see if I want to share them and when your site came on I thought it was her, lol.

Dogs are the best! My cats would not agree but they are cats.
Here I was wondering why my soloing still wasn’t melodic, and it turns out there is another hour of instruction and guidance that was missing before 😂
