Branson might start with a B but it’s an A+ for me! It’s always fun to host camps in new locations, and the consensus is that we’ll return to the Ozarks for another round before too long. Thanks to all the Campers and instructors for making it a successful event!

The day after camp was the Youth in Bluegrass band competition hosted by Ozark Mountain Music Association…a top notch event! I was honored to judge again this year and the General Store was a sponsor for 2nd place. Bluegrass music is in good hands with this youngest generation!

While we’re all enjoying the long weekend, let’s remember those that gave all.šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø #memorialday
This week is our first camp in Branson! My General Store is just an hour or so away, so we had a special event for my campers the evening before camp. We had a scavenger hunt, giveaways, and exclusive discounts.

The question I received most from Campers was: why did you choose to put your store way out in the middle of nowhere?! The answer is because of the people that work there. I built the General Store around Jake and Michelle Stogdill, who are the heartbeat of the operations.

Having good people is more important than flashy location. But as it turns out, ā€œmiddle of nowhereā€ Missouri is a pretty doggone perfect place, too.

Last weekend I was in Cincinnati with The Purple Hulls to play a private party with Ricky Skaggs.

My childhood had a Skaggs country soundtrack running in the background. Then, it was his Bluegrass Rules album that drew me to bluegrass. Watching his guitar player back in the day, Clay Hess, caused my fascination with flat picking.

It’s been an honor to get to know one of my heroes the last few years, and a special treat to meet up with Ricky and the Kentucky Thunder boys on the road here and there!

Comment ā€œMANDOLINā€ and I’ll send you the link where you can find this full lesson!

The longer you play, the more you’ll realize that everything on the mando is connected. This lesson is all about playing from a common chord position you already know, and finding some killer licks all around it!

Comment ā€œGUITARā€ and I’ll send you the link where you can find this full guitar lesson!

Legends in any field will tell you that mindset is key to success, and playing bluegrass guitar is no exception. But you might feel lost—what DO you even think about when you’re building (or improvising) a solo?

If you’ve ever sat down to build your own break and felt unsure of where to start, this session from my 2025 Virtual Guitar Camp is for you, going step-by-step through the thought process behind a solo you can be proud of!
