I am very happy to announce this new video series where I will be teaching all the basics on how to play ambient guitar music.

This first video is a tutorial on how to create great ambient guitar swells. We'll cover the differences between techniques and the settings needed on your delay and reverb pedals.

I will also give you my rule for perfect ambient swell length and will demonstrate it on top of 2 song ideas of different lengths.
