Discover the inspiring journey of Braxton Craven, an outstanding guitarist and instructor at GuitarZoom, who turned a childhood fascination with a MIDI keyboard and piano into a lifelong passion for the guitar. Braxton joins us to share how he transitioned from self-taught beginner to skilled musician, fueled by his love for bands like Twenty One Pilots and the wealth of knowledge available on YouTube. His story underscores the power of self-motivation and community support, even coming from a small town in Utah, making it clear that dedication can lead to mastery without the need for formal lessons.

We'll explore Braxton's evolution from playing classic rock in local bands to diving into the technical intricacies of progressive rock and metal.
