I am from Brampton, Ontario and I have been playing guitar since 1984. I first became interested in music as a 15 year old when my friend asked me if I played guitar ( I didn't at the time ) and if I wanted to start a heavy metal band with him. Two years later I bought a classical guitar and studied music in high school. I went on to study music full time at Humber College in Rexdale, Ontario ( my guitar teacher was Peter Harris ) from 1987 to 1989, mainly jazz and classical and rock. In the early 1990's I wrote and transcribed classical music ( mostly Bach ). Later on my interests moved from music to travelling and hockey and books. It wasn't until I bought a computer in 2000 that I began to write music on the computer using Cakewalk. In October, 2006 I began making Youtube guitar videos, and of January, 2008 I have had over 3.4 million views. I have a guitar lesson website with over 50 videos covering most topics: http://www.bobsguitarlessons.50megs.com

This lesson demonstrates how to do hammer ons and pull offs more effectively, as several people have messaged me saying they are not getting a clear sound when they do the hammer ons and pull offs.
