do you have the songs on a chord chart? Just beginning and seem to be a better visual learner. Great website. Jamie
by Jamie January 9, 2010 at 10:10 pmHey Sir!!
One thing you might want to look at doing to help cover costs is to get a google account and place adwords ads on your site “adsense” you can make some decent money at it if you have lots of traffic. If you need any other help with wordpress or tips, fire me an email – I use wordpress for a living!!
also, my girlfriend who uses this site wants to know where the “f” cord lesson is?
by Collin - Feed Flare January 13, 2010 at 3:39 amGreat Site. I like the “new” look and the small video clips are great. The blues licks in E, ala “Mojo’s Boogie” are right up my alley. Thanks for your hard work and devotion to helping the rest of us. It seems like it was easier to donate in the past. Did you previously have a direct link to Paypal? I’ll give your above mentioned instructions a try and see if I can make that work.
by Damian Neeld January 18, 2010 at 11:56 pmThanks again,

Thanks for the feedback, I will see what I can do! 🙂

by mojocaster January 26, 2010 at 11:37 pmHi mojo,
I’m from mexico and i was wondering if you can tell me how do you record you lessons, i mean, what wind of microphone do you use or if you plug your guitar to a computer, etc.
Thanks a lot.
by abel January 30, 2010 at 5:39 pmJust an old Sony Mini DV camera, that’s it 🙂
by mojocaster February 9, 2010 at 1:53 amMojo,
I am new to your site and think it will be a fantastic aid in learning to actually play the guitar rather than just making noise. My only problem is that the space I have for practicing does not have internet access. Is there a way to download your videos? that would make things really great for me. Thanx for your great videos….
Bob

by Michael Funk May 28, 2010 at 11:31 pmHey mojo i think your videos are really helpful and i was wondering if you could play sweet child o’ mine by guns n’ roses?
by Matthew June 15, 2010 at 8:11 amHi: I’ve been trying for about 2 weeks to play “Layla”. I’m sort of getting it but I’m finding the video on you tube confusing in spots. For the most part your video has been awesome, I tried others and couldn’t even get past the opening. Sometimes you repeat or correct you instructions and I get confused. During the opening is it: a(open), a(3rd fret), AD(open), d(open), a(3rd fret), a(1st fret), a(1st fret), d(open), after this part I get a bit confused on what you are saying ?d(open)?, a(3rd fret), d(open), a(open), a(3rd fret), a(4th fret).
by Janice June 17, 2010 at 1:08 amThen I go strum C#m, G#m, c#m, c, d or is it Dm, e, e7. What is the stumming pattern for this? This is as far as I’ve gotten. I’m just getting back into playing the guitar after a couple years of not playing at all. I also play a classical and I have a oddly small hand which makes it harder for me. But I’m determined to play this.
Please help. Jan
Can you do a video on how to play “torn” by creed ?
by Bob Holland June 29, 2010 at 7:52 pmMan – you have some great stuff for an old head learning to play!! Thanks! How can I support your efforts – contributions?
by Bob Ketterlinus July 9, 2010 at 1:31 pmHow about some pink Floyd or Gilmour. I’ve been studying his tabs but need to play along with your instructions.
Thanks
by Jim August 11, 2010 at 12:56 amDear Mojo,
I want to thank you for your site…it is because of you that I am finally able to fulfill a life long dream of playing the guitar.
I was always a work-a-holic and never found the time, until one day time found me striking me down with Full Cardiac Arrest…it could only have been Divine Intervention that brought me back from the dead, along with the kindness of another human being for the CPR he performed on me until the ambulance arrived to shock me. This was not the only shock that I received that day but I am grateful none the less.
I cannot work as I did before, and I now live off of disabiltiy, so all that money that I made before that was so important to me, means nothing to me now. I have discovered the true beauty in this world, along with the beautiful music of playing the guitar…and for that I have you to thank.
So thank you Mojo for allowing me to fulfill a dream while time is still on my side.

by Pascal Janin October 17, 2010 at 1:59 pmCela fait pas mal de temps que je m’inspire de vos videos. Je suis un petit amateur de 52 ans sans prétention. Je me suis offert une seagull que j’adore. Je regrette pour elle qu’elle ne soit pas mieux utilisée mais…
Quoi qu’il en soit, je viens de visiter votre site avec ma fille (qui est aussi ma traductrice)et je me suis dit qu’il fallait que je vous remercie pour votre gentillesse qui traverse l’écran et mettre en avant votre talent.
Je souhaite vous faire une souscription mais j’ai pas bien compris la méthode.
J’attends votre mail (en français ?)
merci mille fois
Merci pour le message, ca me fait toujours plaisir de converser avec des francophones 🙂
by mojocaster November 11, 2010 at 2:11 pmmini dv is a good way to store video information but flash cards are getting bigger in capacity too ”
by Bar Fridge · November 4, 2010 at 1:32 amLove what you do with the guitar and how you break things down so beginners can understand.
Any way you could post some Eric Church? Interests are “Love your Love the Most”, “Hell on the Heart”, “Guys like me”, or “How ‘Bout You.”
THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!
by scott November 18, 2010 at 2:41 pmHow can I contribute $$ to you if I don’t have a PayPal account (and I don’t want one)?
by Bob Kaplan December 30, 2010 at 8:17 pmYou are a hoot and a fine musician.
Well done and you have admirable motivation.
Thank you,

PS Are you Canadian?
by mike January 2, 2011 at 3:38 amThanks for the kind words. And no, I am not Canadian – but I *am* French 🙂
by mojocaster January 2, 2011 at 4:00 amHey Mojo,
by Jeff January 5, 2011 at 1:36 amFellow Mainer here and love the sight, would love it if you could do a video for “Lost in this moment” by Big and Rich it’s my wife and I’s wedding song and would love to play it for her on our anniversary…keep up the good work.
Great idea! Don’t be a stranger, I play live around Southern Maine every week, so feel free to drop by!
by mojocaster January 5, 2011 at 2:43 amMOJO, love your site. Can you teach Blake Shelton’s “Who are you when I’m not looking”. In his video looks like capo in the 2nd and finger pickin DGA etc. I would love to learn this song, thanks.
by steve January 29, 2011 at 7:03 pmThat’s a great song. I”ve never played it before so I’ll have to figure it out 🙂
by mojocaster January 31, 2011 at 9:06 pmHello MOJO,
by Todd Edward Ferguson February 2, 2011 at 5:29 amTrying to figure out the chords for “BACCO PER BACCO”. Not having any luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Does anyone out there know how to play “Trouble on the Line” by Loretta Lynn (off of Van Lear Rose -the album she did with Jack White a few years back). I am a beginner and have yet to master trying to play by ear, so any help figuring out how to play this song would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

by MTK February 11, 2011 at 2:35 pmHey Mojo, I love what you are doing. Just found your site and am enjoying watching you. I am 58 yrs young and I used to play guitar as a teen but have pretty much forgotten everything I knew, guess age does that. After watching your lessons I have the bug to try it again. I have no guitar ans so am thinking about buying one. I want an electric again but am not sure of what to get. I am not rich si I can’t afford the best but am hoping you can tell me what is a decent one to buy along with an amp.
Thanks

Mojo!
I think it is so cool that you support Guitars for Vets. I started the Colorado chapter, and now we have a new chapter in Colorado Springs, run by Ajrn Paulson. He supports the vets at Ft. Carson.
All the Best,

by SHOKKEY April 4, 2011 at 7:32 pmby rascal flatts on here
thanx for all the free info too guys!!
When i actually enjoy whatever you submit right here. Very useful in addition to smart. Just one concern though. I’m running Firefox having Debian in addition to elements of this present structure portions undoubtedly are a very little wonky. When i understand it’s an excellent typical established. But it’s an issue to help hold in the mind. When i wish so it will probably guide in addition to keep the top rated excellent publishing.
by Lacie Dunford April 18, 2011 at 12:41 pmHi Mojo just found your site, I admire your approach. I’ve been playing on and off for 35 years, I just learn song by song and this site suits my approach. I mostly work things out myself, and apply my own style, but sometimes it’s a great help when someone’s done the hard work for you. I play acoustic and sing a bit, and hope to start posting some on my own site. I’ll give a link for now, but being that it’s early days and I don’t get much traffic probably not much help. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep returning.
by iguitarblog April 26, 2011 at 2:06 pmyou should put a search bar on the site so people con search your archives
by moose May 20, 2011 at 2:39 amThere is already one, under the “search this site” heading on the left margin 🙂 Thanks for the feedback,though! Be well.
by mojocaster May 20, 2011 at 1:46 pmHi Mojo, I heard a tale about you losing your home.
by Bertman May 29, 2011 at 11:44 pmI pray that this was not true.
I have been out of work since Dec 2008, it’s been 2 1/2 years w/o a job. I just accepted an offer from NY Life and just passed my State’s lic. exam. If it wasn’t for your three teaching sites I would have lost it. Learning to play my Guitar has kept me sane. As soon as I have a steady $$ again I will be donating to your cause. Please let me know how,
I don’t use Paypal.
This really bummed me when I was told.
I pray it was not true.
Sincerely, Bertman
Mojo,
I enjoy your watching your videos and they helped me learn to play the guitar better. At this time I do not have a computer and I wanted to know if you our able to put them on a disk and if you are able to I will make a donation or I will buy them. 10 songs would be greatful.
Thank you,
Jon

by Tom Bertke June 6, 2011 at 1:07 amMojo, Told you before I love you site. However I am an out and out beginner and would love to play your blues rifts. Any chance of some tabs?
by Alan August 21, 2011 at 5:30 amDear Mojo,
by GSF September 29, 2011 at 5:01 amthis site that you are fulling is amazing, one song that i would like to request is imagine by mercyme. im planning on proposing to my long time girlfriend, and i plan on (well hoping) to sing/ play the song to her before i propose.
Found some Gary Allan on here but not the song i’m looking for. ould you see about doing a video of A showman’s life on here? Thanks!
by Justin November 7, 2011 at 3:42 pmHey, Great site! Your help is truly appreciated. I am writing this not to complain, but to point out an error that I found in a video lesson – I would like to correct this so that it helps anyone else using that lesson. It is Eric Clapton’s unplugged version of Layla – during the lesson you make reference to a B flat chord in the verse which is actually a B chord. In the chorus, the B flat chord is missing altogether from the lesson. It took me a bit to figure it out on my own, but it is a very good way to learn. Sometimes, figuring stuff out yourself is better than someone showing you everything, but it’s nice to have someone there to get you started.
by Daniel December 3, 2011 at 12:18 amMojo,
by Scott December 23, 2011 at 8:56 amI’ve learned a lot in the last 2 years from your site. Just picked the guitar up at that time. I’m having a hard time though, with “Who You’d Be Today” video. The strumming pattern becomes obvious at the end of the video but for some reason I’m having a hard time picking it up where you are in the pattern when you play the song. To me it’s hard to follow even though the pattern is explained at the end. Any way you could go through it slower and show when you change chords? Thanks
Great instruction. Best of luck to you.
by Jimmy Pierce December 27, 2011 at 6:58 pmautismspeaks.com
The site didn’t change for awhile. I pay a visit every few days and look for new classrooms. I hope you get back on wheels with new videos soon.
Great site btw

Hi, Mojo I am new to your site but it has been a great help so far from the charts to the videos. I travel alot so it worked out well I can now play 5 songs thanks to you. How ever there is a song i could really use a video for Eric Church Jack Daniels. I would really appriate a vid for that.
by Brandon January 27, 2012 at 9:07 pmFantastic site and resource – I’d like to buy you a beer (with a bit of luck I’ll get beer in return for playing a few of these). Good work and thanks!
by xMGx April 12, 2012 at 1:22 amJust wanted to say thanks man started playing like for years ago and taught myself. Your site was the first I came across back then made me the player I am today.
by Jacob May 23, 2012 at 5:19 amThank you MOJO !
by Ron September 19, 2012 at 2:22 pmYour site is terrific, I was finding guitar practice hard and I did not like the sound I was making on my guitar. I went through a lot of search and since I am hooked to your website on am having fun. I truly enjoy what you do. I cannot wait to get better at my new hobby.
You are a great person.
Thanks !

Thanks a lot-Erick
Great site mojo! I’m glad I found it. You have great teaching ability. I have only been playing for 5 months. I Have progressed very quickly as guitar is now my passion and I practice un-ceasingly. However, I have discovered that i have a fear of learning bar chords. I just can’t figure out how to do them or how to practice them. Do you have any videos on this subject, or could you make one? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks for sharing your talent.
by Brooks Robison March 9, 2013 at 6:28 pmMy girlfriend really wants me to learn brad paisly little moments and you broke it down amazingly any chance you could put the chords over the lyrics so I can learn it easier?
by ryan May 9, 2013 at 4:36 pmAwesome site I’ve learned a lot keep pumping out the waylon, I’m a huge fan of the outlaws,waylon,willie johnny,kris I Love it please keep it going!!!
