Hey everybody!

My name is Mike Salow and I am a new guitar instructor here at InfiniteGuitar.com!
I've just posted my first tutorial called "Licking Up the Modes" where we'll be going through each mode month by month, starting with Ionian.
All of these licks are in a fusion setting and are in the style of guys like Greg How and Brett Garsed. So check that out!

A little about myself. I currently live in Minneapolis, MN in the U.S. but will be moving to Chicago in a couple months.
I have a Bachelors of Music in guitar performance and have been playing for most of my life.
Some of my biggest influences are Greg Howe, Brett Garsed, Mike Stern, John Scofield, Frank Gambale, Guthrie Govan, etc...
I also like your typical shred guys, blues guys, jazz guys, country guys, and was a metal head growing up. \m/
I currently enjoy The Faceless, Periphery, Necrophagist, and Between the Buried and Me.

I look foward to meeting everyone and please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about me or the tutorials I post!

Thanks!
