I'll show you my picking approaches and how I use vibrato, bends, phrasing, dynamics, and other techniques to craft expressive phrases to help make your solos distinctive and engaging.

We'll work on dialing in a killer guitar tone, creating heavy riff-driven parts, and finding that irresistible rhythm pocket.
