The Steve Stine Podcast ·

2026/04/09

Send Steve a Text Message You can love guitar for decades and still feel like you’re standing outside the music, looking in. That’s where Cary Bynum found himself: a creative professional from Birmingham, Alabama, raised on the Beatles, the Stones, classic rock, blues, and old-school country, with a house full of guitars and a long history of stalled-out lessons. We talk through the pattern that kept tripping him up, from instructors who dazzled more than they guided to weekly sessions that ...

2026/04/02

Send Steve a Text Message The fastest way to stall on guitar is to confuse memory with musicianship. That is where Levi takes us, starting with the honest origin story of learning guitar for the wrong reasons, then quickly finding the right ones: teaching, curiosity, and the addictive moment when a student’s “light bulb” turns on.

2026/03/26

Send Steve a Text Message Your practice can be consistent and still feel like it’s going nowhere. When there’s no deadline, it’s easy to drift through scales, licks, and exercises without ever feeling finished, and that “unfinished” feeling quietly kills motivation. We talk about the simplest fix: give your guitar practice a real finish line, even if you don’t have a band, a gig, or a rehearsal on the calendar. I walk through a pressure test that makes the idea click fast: imagine getting ca...

Why Most Practice Doesn’t Work (And How to Fix It)

The Steve Stine Podcast ·

2026/03/19

Send Steve a Text Message Noodling feels like practice until you realize you’re getting the same results month after month. We sit down and get blunt about what actually creates progress on guitar: a plan that matches your real schedule, plus the discipline to practice with intention and focus. We walk through how we think about a guitar practice routine when time is limited. The big shift is moving from “I should practice scales” to specific targets you can measure, like learning one scale ...

2026/03/19

Send Steve a Text Message Want your solos to breathe, sing, and feel human without learning a new scale? We dive into the art of slides and show how three simple categories—intentional slides, subtle half-step drifts, and “airplane” landings—transform stiff lines into vocal phrases with character. From deciding whether to let the listener hear the start note to treating it like a fast grace note, you’ll learn how tiny choices change the mood, timing, and shape of every lick. We break down cl...

The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Better at Guitar

The Steve Stine Podcast ·

2026/02/26

Send Steve a Text Message Feeling stuck even though you practice daily and binge guitar videos? We’ve been there. The real blocker isn’t effort—it’s the lack of a focused plan that turns scattered experiences into absorbed skills you can trust when it counts. We unpack why grazing on random lessons rarely leads to lasting progress and show how to shift into targeted learning you can apply today. You’ll hear a clear, four-pillar roadmap for consistent growth: technique you actually need for y...

We break down the simple shift that turns practice from maintenance to elevation, so your time actually maps to your goals.

Send Steve a Text Message Ever run the pentatonic scale perfectly and still wonder why your solo doesn’t sound like a song? We shine a light on the missing link: groove and phrasing. Starting with a deep soul A minor backing track, we walk through how to hear the downbeat, count eighth notes, and turn simple movements in one position into musical sentences that sit inside the track rather than float over it. We focus on the essentials that instantly change your sound: locking into the eighth...

We break down a simple three-string shape in A—5-7-8 across the third, second, and first strings—and turn it into patterns that inject rock grit into blues vocabulary.

Do You Really Need Music Theory?

The Steve Stine Podcast ·

2025/12/25

Send Steve a Text Message Ever wonder if learning more music theory will actually make your playing better, or just add noise to your practice? We unpack the real value of theory for guitarists by separating the essential language—keys, diatonic chords, song form, and chord tones—from the advanced tools that only matter if they serve your goals. You’ll hear how to use theory to communicate fast in rehearsals and jams, improvise with intention by targeting notes inside each chord, and analyze ...

Learn The Vocal Tools That Turn Scales Into Music

The Steve Stine Podcast ·

2025/12/04

Send Steve a Text Message One note can say everything—if you know how to shape it. We dig into the practical craft of turning scales and theory into expression by focusing on what we call vocal tools: bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and vibrato. The thread running through it all is control. It’s not enough to know a technique exists; you have to own it so it lands with intention, confidence, and feel. We start by reframing technique as a means to a musical end, aligning fundamentals wi...

Chord Chasing Made Simple

We dive into chord chasing—the practical way to switch your note choices with each chord—and show how a handful of smart targets can transform C–G–Am–F into a melodic story.
