The instructional videos here correlate directly with repertoire, techniques, and musical concepts outlined in the Lead Guitar Method Book I.

While they remain informative videos, they are currently being re-recorded for incorporation onto our Teachable platform.

We hope they are a helpful resource for students as they begin instruction, often by viewing them directly in the classroom along with students.

Teachers who are brand new to the instrument can also use them as guides for important vocabulary and pedagogical tips for the classroom.

These instructional videos were made possible through a generous gift from

The Zuckerman Community Outreach Foundation.

Thanks also to Arlene Islas at the University of Arizona for directing the project,

and to Evi, Zoe, and Amanda for being star students.
