		<title>Power Chords &amp; Open Strings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a while since my last lesson, so please forgive the delay. I wanted to do one more lesson on power chords. This time, I wanted to look at what happens when you add open strings to 5th-string power chords shapes. Since chord naming is often difficult for students, I&#8217;ll go through each chord [...]]]></description>

		<title>What happened?!?!?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, remember how I was going to do a lesson each day in May? Looks like the best laid plans&#8230; 
The funniest thing happened while doing this.  For the record: I&#8217;m not a lick player and it&#8217;s very hard for me to teach that way. One of the reasons I wanted to do this [...]]]></description>

		<title>A month of lessons #4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I wanted to make this lesson simple, but powerful. Let&#8217;s talk about your picking tone. Too many players feel that the secret to great tone lies in their gear. I&#8217;ve learned this the hard way, and it&#8217;s an expensive lesson! To improve your tone, take a look at where you pick and what you pick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m back, well-rested and ready to teach! For tonights lesson, I wanted to give some examples of some interesting ending chords. By &#8216;ending chords&#8217; I mean chords that you can use as the last chord of a song. You can use them other places besides the end of a song   Here are a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A month of lessons #2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s lesson was inspired by an email inquiry from someone who had bought my first book, &#8220;The Everything Rock and Blues Guitar Book.&#8221; Here&#8217;s the question:
Marc,
I was wondering what the numbers after a chord meant. I see E6 and E7 all the time, and while I can play them easily, I&#8217;m not sure what they [...]]]></description>

		<title>A month of lessons #1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,
I&#8217;m excited to do a month of lessons online. I&#8217;m usually a pretty conceptual guy, but I&#8217;m going to try something very different today. I&#8217;m going to teach small, digestible and useable topics every day. You should have no problem incorporating these into your playing immediately. I may miss a day here and there, [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s here!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After years of work, filming, editing &#38; rewriting, a new version of The Efficient Guitarist is finally here. What I&#8217;ve always enjoyed about The Efficient Guitarist was teaching it to students. The book grew out of those lessons and it was refined as a result of feedback. In order to get it to a wider audience, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lifelong Learn</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about the process of learning. How do people learn? How did I learn? I&#8217;ve come to the conclusion that I no longer remember the minutiae about how I learned music. Sure, I remember what I did. But, what&#8217;s faded over the years are the emotions and frustrations with learning something [...]]]></description>

		<title>Brain vs. Ears/Soul</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve head tremendous response to my modes lessons and I can&#8217;t wait to expand them. I got a few questions that all seemed to relate around the same question: &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of thinking involved in your lessons, how can you play with feeling when your brain is that involved?&#8221; It&#8217;s a great question. I [...]]]></description>
