How to Get My Instructional PDFs & Song Sheets

Guitar can be complicated to learn! While my free video lessons will get you started in learning songs or techniques, I believe there is immense value in print-friendly diagrams that you can reference alongside my video lessons. I take great pride in creating diagrams to explain the concepts behind strumming patterns, fretboard & chord charts, scales, tablature, and more.

I offer two types of premium printable content:


Instructional PDFs (non-songs)

Approximately half my video lessons teach general guitar techniques: tips, quick riffs & exercises, practical music theory, and more. These are meant to get you up-to-speed with universal concepts used in countless songs. With each of these instructional videos, I make a PDF to accompany the video lesson. Each PDF is print-friendly, and typically between 2 and 5 pages. Here’s what they look like (showing the first page only): ​

Patreon is the best way to support me and my lessons!

Many folks have asked what’s the best way to support me and this project – and the answer: become a member on Patreon. The cost is $3 per month (cancel anytime) or via annual pledge (save ~15%) – most of which goes directly to me. These lessons are a labor of love, but make no mistake – they take a lot of work to create! It’s my dream to one day work on this project full time – and the key to making that happen is your support.

The membership perks become available to you immediately!

Seriously, it’s dead simple – with just a few clicks you can end your membership if for whatever reason you’re no longer able or interested providing ongoing thanks & support. You can keep any of the instructional PDFs you’ve downloaded.

Obviously, I hope you stick around! Even if you’re not active with your guitar playing, even the few bucks a month of ongoing support is incredibly helpful to me. Thank you so much!

Thank you David for the most excellent guitar lessons. I am getting old now and my guitar is a new and awesome instrument that gives me peace in our troubled world. Your contribution and dedication to your lessons provides me with hours of learning in an easy fun style. I am blessed to have been able to support you on Patreon and have access to everything you put out there.

– Harvey

I've seen more guitar instructional videos on the web than I can count but but no one does a better job of explaining and simplifying a song as you do, with the added bonus of a downloadable PDFs. I just got back into playing acoustic guitar last year after a hiatus of too many decades. Keep up the good work you do for all us beginners, re-beginners and not so beginners.

– David

Thank you 🙏 you are a wonderful teacher as well as a fabulous musician not often do you get both in the same package.

– Eileen

I have just picked up the guitar after 30 years of saying 'I would love to learn that'. Out of all the lessons I have come across online yours are the best. You have a way of making the song sound close to the original and making it pretty easy to learn as a beginner to learn. I could not keep watching the lessons without donating something because learning the guitar takes time and devotion. You deserve to get something back for all you put in. I have subscribed to your channel, and I have never subscribed to anything online. I wish you all the best and hope you have continued success.

– Joshauh

I enjoy your lessons and teaching style. They are practical and I love that you break things down in an easy to understand way. Also your lessons are fun! :) I'm a happy supporter and thank you for providing great service and your musical gift.

I’ve tinkered with the guitar since I was a teenager but never really committed to practicing it. I could never find the passion or the structure from a teacher to keep me at it. I have a full time job and kids...and life is busy. Almost two years ago, I broke my ankle playing baseball and dusted off the guitar. I stumbled across your lesson Say It Ain’t So by Weezer. I was completely sold. I decided to become a patreon supporter of yours. Tonight, I was just completely compelled to send you a message. Your lessons, teaching, PDF’s...you name it...Are pure quality. You come across as passionate about your work and it truly makes a difference. Anyway. I hope you and your family are staying healthy and safe during these times. I wish you all best. Thank you for the lessons and I also hope that your site becomes so successful that you can just do this full time. No response necessary. Just reaching out to say I wish lots of good karma to go your way! Cheers!

– Jason

You are such an amazing teacher! You describe steps in detail that is so necessary for beginners like me. Thank you for all that you do!

– Cara

Man, you're the best out there and the way you break things down with printables along with the different camera angles helps me in ways I can't put into words. It's truly a pleasure to be a Patreon supporter of yours!

– BB

You are the very best on the web for teaching how to play a particular song down to the details that deliver a truly professional sounding version. I love it!

– Nick
