I’ve been getting a lot of emails from people that need help with some of my arrangements, or are looking for some guidance with their technique or some general advice. I always enjoy helping other guitarists improve their playing, so I try to help out as much as I can. .
Unfortunately, there is only so much time in the day, and sometimes it’s hard to reply to everybody.
A few people have asked me for advice on breaking out of a rut. They’ve been playing for a few years and have have gotten pretty good, but feel like their guitar playing has hit a brick wall and don’t know how to go any further.
This is a pretty common problem which I can totally relate to, because I’ve been there myself!
I just released my cover of “The Rains of Castamere” from Game of Thrones. The video is over here in case you haven’t heard it yet. It’s on all the usual places, though Amazon doesn’t seem to have it yet. It should show up eventually.
Anyway, here are the links:

I kinda like this idea of releasing singles every couple of weeks.
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m releasing my Tool covers as a series of singles. I just released the first one, “Forty Six & 2″ this week.
I’ve really been blown away by all the feedback I’ve been getting on these covers. I do them because I really love these songs and it’s blast to play them on guitar.
Finally finished the tabs for Sober. I know a lot of people have been waiting for this for a while. Login or sign up and the download link will appear below. Have fun!
Another Tool cover. I’ve always found “jimmy” to be one of their most emotionally powerful songs, though it’s not usually the first song that comes to mind when you think of Tool.
The idea to do this one came back when I started working on “Forty Six & 2″ though I didn’t start to work on it seriously until a few months ago.
I you'd like to support what I'm doing here, download my solo guitar album A Work in Progress and pay what you want for it.
My name is Ernesto and I'm from Panama, though I currently live in Berlin.
I've been trying to compose and play music since I was about 5. I only started getting decent at it when I was 13 and picked up an electric guitar.
To make a long story short, I've always had lots of music in my head, I've finally decided to just put it out there without worrying about what to call it.
