Starting April 27 2025, I’m starting a new YouTube channel called “Melodic Guitar” (www.youtube.com/@dankellermelodicguitar) I focus on melodic improvisation on the guitar. My goal with this channel so far is, that I can share my experience from 40+ years of guitar playing.
If you love melodic guitar playing—the kind that speaks, moves, and sticks with you— you’re in the right place.
Over the years, I’ve seen many players struggle with one key thing: playing melodies that truly connect—with the audience, with the music, and with themselves. That’s what this channel is all about. Not just scales. Not just technique. But crafting strong, expressive melodies. These days, shredding is everywhere—but what about melodies that tell a story? Melodies that stick?
Helping you create strong melodies is my goal. I’ll share concepts, exercises, and insights from my experience as a guitarist and teacher—plus practical tips you can apply right away. So, if you want to improve your melodic playing and develop your own unique voice on the guitar, stick around—and let me inspire you!
This very first video I upload – besides the “Welcome to my channel”-video – is 1-minute improvisation.
