Guitar Ramble
There are few instruments as versatile as the guitar. You can find it in nearly any genre and in any crevasse of the world. That versatility can be both useful and entertaining, though it can also feel overwhelming. The goal of this site is to foster a greater connection amongst guitarists from all styles and genres that have interest in broadening their creative and technical musical pursuits.
…and there’s always time and space for a little nonsense here and there.

Traversing the Fretboard was released in 2016 and is a method for organizing chords and scales through Sean’s own approach of the CAGED System. The Segovia Scales is a re-illustration of Andres Segovia’s Diatonic Major and Minor Scales in a manner that is both easier to read and quicker to learn with an added section on practice techniques. As a teacher, Sean has taught many students through his own studio and various institutions. In 2015, he founded the Rome Guitar Institute in Rome, Georgia, where he has instructed students of all ages on electric, acoustic, and classical guitar, as well as bass guitar, ukulele, and mandolin.
