Making Chord Inversions Fun - Ask Zac 67

In today's lesson, we look at a fun technique for helping you learn inversions up and down the neck to help both your rhythm and solo work. In the lesson, I cycle between G major and A minor inversions on the D-B strings, G-E strings, and A-G strings. I also run G6-G9 up and down the fretboard.

Learn to Feed Yourself Musically (Don't Be Spoon-Fed)

Most players hit a wall the same way, cycling through the same licks, searching for something new, and ending up lost in endless videos. Here’s a better way. In this video, we break out of that loop by using a simple, lifelong skill: take a song you love, learn the melody, and learn how to harmonize it. No tabs. No shortcuts. No spoon-feeding. This is how you build real musical independence, and actually start growing every time you pick up the guitar.

Zac's Hacks - How To Best String Your Vintage Style Telecaster

In this episode, I walk through the process I use for stringing, stretching, and tuning on a vintage-style Telecaster. These methods are geared towards Telecasters with split-shaft tuners and 3-saddle bridges. These methods were learned from gurus like Joe Glaser, Dan Erlewine, and Lindy Fralin, and during my tenure as Brad Paisley's guitar tech. I cover the following: 1. Importance of winding as little string as possible on the tuner shafts. 2. How to lock unwound strings in place on vintage split-shaft tuners. 3. How to fix a saddle with a burr, causing the "sitar' effect. 4. Why you should be conservative with nut lubricant. 5. How to stretch the strings to promote tuning stability.

I searched for the other video, so you don't have to...
