I’m back after a very long break.

Like a small woodland creature emerging after a particularly harsh winter, I’m popping on here to say hello. If you are interested to read a bit more about what’s been going on with me on a personal level, I’ve written about it a bit more on a similar post in my Instagram account:

If you are just here for the guitar stuff, I support you! After a long dry spell, I’m finally finding some joy and inspiration in my own music and playing again and I’m glad you’re here.

Last Wednesday during Office Hours (a weekly Q&A I’ve been leading for my students) I went down a super fruitful rabbit-hole on the topic of picking exclusively with my thumb! I’m still actually processing it several days later! Not only can I alter my tone with my right hand approach, but I can basically alter my thinking! It's a new guitar sound, for free! Want to get more curious about your ...

Get a free jump start for your creativity and improvisation: dan-phelps.mykajabi.com/grow-as-a-guitar-player Last night I improvised on the guitar while thinking about the theme of curiosity. I intentionally started with a sound rather than playing the guitar and tried to simply let each event lead to the next. There’s obvious ways to practice the more technical aspects of music: running scales...
