Be Like Nancy
March 21st, 2016 at 11:14 am EDTHey Friend, I'm heading over to visit my old music school this afternoon. This was the guitar business I co-founded a couple years back. I partnered with one of my students, who has really done well building it up. I sold him my share of the business ...
Rollin' With The Homeys II
March 20th, 2016 at 11:01 am EDTHey Friend, Like a bad sequel, I'm back giving the blow-by-blow of our Spring Break in Ohio. Today we'll be chillin' with my in-laws. Another day of awesome food as my mother-in-law makes Georgia style Brunswick Stew. This is like a once-a-year occas ...
Rollin' With The Homeys

Technique and Tabs - Combining Them to Really Get After It
March 16th, 2016 at 11:13 am EDTHey Friend, I've extolled the benefits of learning both how to read standard notation (sheet music) and tabs. You get all the ingredients necessary to make learning a piece music as easy as possible. If you can add to that a natural ability to play b ...
Tabs VS Notation 2
March 15th, 2016 at 11:22 am EDTHey Friend, Yesterday we talked about two similar (but different) ways to write out music: standard notation and tablature (tab). Tabs are easy to read and can get you playing pretty quickly, but they don't describe the rhythmic aspect at all. Tabs ...

The Simple First Rule of Guitar
March 13th, 2016 at 11:25 am EDTHey Friend, I was doing some email clean-up yesterday. I've been a bit remiss in my duties - you may have listed a guitar goal or problem when you subscribed for the newsletter. I realized I need to make it a point to respond to the questions or prob ...
