Somebody's Heartbreak - Hunter Hayes
In this lesson I'll show you how to play Somebody's Heartbreak by Hunter Hayes. This song is a little more challenging because of the rhythm and hybrid picking. It's a tough song to figure out but it's definitely worth learning.
Walk Softly - Kentucky Headhunters
Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine is kind of a cross between southern rock and country. The Kentucky Headhunters have a unique style. Although this song songs the best on electric guitar, it also sounds great on acoustic.
Blues Scale in the Key of E
In this video I play through the five positions of the blues scales. In later lessons I'll teach some cool blues riffs that you can add to your bag of licks. Click here if you would like to watch this video with the scale diagram so you can follow along as I'm playing.
Somethin Bout A Truck - Kip Moore Part I
I really like the acoustic version of Somethin Bout A Truck a lot because it's got a real cool "bluesy" sound to it. In part II of this lesson series, we'll go over how to play each verse and chorus and I'll show you an awesome filler riff to add in here and there to spruce things up a bit.

If You Told Me To - Hunter Hayes
This song involves some challenging hybrid picking. Hunter Hayes is a great guitar player and he makes it sound easy. I would recommend this lesson to the more experienced pickers.

Knee Deep - Zac Brown Part 1 of 2
In Part I of this lesson series, I'll go over the intro to Knee Deep by Zac Brown Band in detail. This is a challenging intro and it will definitely push you to the next level. The majority of the intro is played just using the pick and not much hybrid picking.
Somethin Bout A Truck - Kip Moore Part II
In part I of this lesson series, I'll focus a lot on how to play the intro to the acoustic version of Somethin Bout A truck by Kip Moore. This intro is challenging and it will really help improve overall pick control.
