We will begin to study this technique on our two thinnest strings by setting our right hand thumb up over the B string, and our right hand ring, middle and pointer fingers over the high E string. Place your left […]

Hello fellow low enders. I thought it would be nice to pull out and cover again all the extra exercises assigned with each new major scale covered this far. I was afraid these exercises would get lost in the archives. It will be nice to refresh your memory and be able to use them with any future […]

It wasn’t even a month ago, my friend Tim shows up at the door with the grossest looking Fender Stratocaster I had ever seen. It was as if someone had played it at Woodstock and stored it in a sweaty locker until he won it on Ebay and brought it over for me to help […]

Hmmm … where do I begin? It almost seems silly to post stuff like this, but the fact is – a lot of up and comers are naïve to the realities of this hard and cold industry. Think back to the old saying “Keep It Real” and grab your machete. It’s a jungle out there. […]

This week I am covering the next scale in the line-up, E major scale. It has all the same sharps as the A major scale, (which was covered a few weeks back) but also now includes the D#. Notice here that the new sharp is a 5th above the last # in A major. The #’s in A major are […]

Sometimes going the battle alone only gets you so far. Maybe you’ve considered getting a manager who can help carry the load of booking, organizing, media blasts, negotiating and all that jazz. Here are a few thoughts about the subject. 1. Don’t complicate the process any more than you have to. Write down your goals, […]

With winter right around the corner, I wanted to write a blog about proper guitar humidification. Acoustic instruments and hollow bodies are the instruments most at risk for damage, but you should keep an eye on your solid body guitars as well. Failure to do so will result in damage to your instrument’s playability, cosmetics […]
