I often browse around YouTube and other video sharing websites in search of new talent to post here on my blog.  Today I hit the motherload!   The following is a two part video demonstration of a landscape by the amazingly talented artist Maxim Grunin.  I was in absolute awe when I watched Maxim create this work of art in what seems like a matter of hours.  When you see the finished product you will be amazed as well.  The finished painting looks as though it took months or even years to create. It looks so complicated but Maxim makes it look so easy.  I think we can all learn a thing or two from this artist. I do hope you enjoy this demonstration as much as I did and I hope this inspires you to create something as equally amazing as this....

Learn how to play Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) by The Beatles with this free guitar lesson. Norwegian Wood was released in 1965 on the album “Rubber Soul” and was written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.  This song stands out in my mind time and time again as one of The Beatles most interesting song , because of  the use of the sitar played by George Harrison. Just an all around lovely song and very enjoyable to play.  You can read more about this song over at Wikipedia.

This is a really fun folk style song to play on guitar.  It is slightly challenging at first, but after practicing it for some time, it will become second nature.  I am not sure how the original song is played, but in this particular video lesson (featured below), Marty plays it with a guitar capo on the second fret.

Learn how to play the B7 Guitar Chord with this free lesson.  I added this post under “Basic Beginner” Chords as it is a basic 7th Chord that all beginners should know, but it is however one of the harder 7th chords to finger.

The B7 Guitar Chord (also known as the Dominant B 7th Chord) is often referred to as a Blues chord. Once you learn to play it, you will understand why. It just has a real bluesy sound to it.  The B7 Chord is found by first locating the 1(root note), 3 and 5 positions (B, D# and F#) of the B Major Scale: B C# D# E F# G# A# B, and then adding a flat 7 note. To locate the flat 7 note, we first find the 7th note of the B Major scale (A#) and then go back a 1/2 step to the A Note.

So the notes of the B7 Chord are: B, D#, A and F#

There are several different ways to play it, but I will demonstrate the easiest way in the following post...

Learn how to play the song “Teach Your Children” by Crosby Stills Nash & Young with this easy to follow guitar lesson.

Teach Your Children was written by Graham Nash. It was written while Nash was still a member of the group “The Hollies”, but it was never released with them.

This easy song is considered a Country rock, Folk rock tune, which was a very popular style of music back in the 1960’s. It is a fairly easy song to play and uses the chords: D Major, G Major, A Major and B Minor.

The only challenge will be the switch to the B Minor Chord. I know, we hear B Minor and we automatically think its a difficult chord. I promise you it isn’t, at least not this version of B Minor. Just practice switching to the B Minor over and over again in this song until you can do it without error or delay...
