This is a very different type of video for me, but like they say over at JHS βjust try stuffβ
Itβs been a month since Iβve been home from tour with The Midnight, and I feel like I should come clean and admit that I basically havenβt touched a guitar in a month, and thatβs ok. Iβve spent my time working on lots of other things that are music related, and exploring new ideas and following rabbit holes.
I may make this βlo-fiβ type of video a more regular thing here on the channel, so let me know what you think.

Most of us blew through the beginner stage fast. Then we got stuck. Intermediate guitar is where players sit for years β sometimes a decade β without really knowing why they arent getting better.
I was there. And looking back, there are 5 specific things I wish someone had told me that would have pulled me out of the plateau and into actually understanding what I was doing on the instrument.
In this video we cover shell voicings and why playing fewer notes makes you sound better in a band, triad inversions and how they get you out of the cowboy chord rut (using Little Wing as the example), how to blend rhythm and lead so you can play like your favorite guitar players do, the major modes and why the intervallic approach beats the relative approach every time, and the one thing I got completely wrong about music theory for years β and how that misunderstanding was actually holding me back.
If youre an intermediate guitar player trying to get to the next level, this is the stuff that moved the needle for me.

![If I Lost Everything Tomorrow... Id Buy These First
After years of buying, selling, and swapping out more pedals than I can count, these are the ones that stayed. These arent the most hyped or the most expensive β theyre the ones that actually make me sound like me. Im breaking down why each one earned a permanent spot on my board and how I actually use them on tour with The Midnight and in the studio.
