Welcome, Outlaw Picker

This website is designed to make you a better guitarist. Here’s how we do it:

1.Use the new TABS DATABASE to search songs by difficulty (1-10), style, and artist. The songs marked * I highly recommend. Once you complete a song YOU get to rate the difficulty and help build the database for others.

2. Drop into the GUITAR HUB OF GOODNESS where you’ll find tutorials on specific technical, theoretical, and practical concepts to supplement your song learning.

3. Snag either of my two eBooks, join a Monthly Deep Dive, and/or take private lessons with me via Zoom.

4. Join the MMM Discord to get excellent help and feedback from the darling community there.

All MMM content is based on the Value 4 Value Model. You pay what it’s worth to you, no one is denied access.

If you're curious about the man behind the scenes at MMM:

I’m a  father of 4, songwriter, music teacher, youtuber, performer and Christian located in Pittsburgh via Austin via San Francisco, via Chicago.

I love parenting, songwriting, walking, musing theologically, and teaching.

I’ve formed and fronted various projects over the years: Molaro For Illinois, can be streamed anywhere or found on bandcamp.

​Then there was also the EP: Archer Heights (“hearsay” is my wife’s favorite)

And the 60s rock band I fronted: the Queensmen (my kids love “bullet”)

I’m an active music teacher providing lessons to over 30 students a week, while cranking out the tutorials over at Mike's Music Method which is nearing almost 300 videos!

This channel has become a source of great joy. Yes, there’s the music, but I’ve also been connecting with people all over the world, often on a very personal level. So thanks for sharing your lives and hearts with me!


The more time I put into the content the more excited I get about the channel. We need to keep these songs alive! And there's no better way to honor them and keep the memory eternal than by learning to play them ourselves, and to continue to teach them to the younger generations in hopes that they’ll be inspired themselves and carry the torch, revitalizing this almost lost genre. I know of no other site or youtube channel handling these songs with the same care and attention to detail as I do here at MMM. I’m happy to be your resident musicologist.
