    Alternative guitar tunings are very popular amongst major artists. Other than the standard tuning on the guitar, there are many other tunings that we will explore below. As versatile as the guitar is, the vast majority of the time we spend playing the instrument exists in a fairly limited spectrum of possibilities known as standard tuning.

    On Inspiration, Practice, Practice Tips
    No Comments
    Practice routines are an unfortunate necessity and, as guitar players, we all want to improve continually and consistently. However, at some point, it becomes clear that our weekly guitar challenges are getting harder and harder to overcome. One we day we may find that simply picking up the instrument and spending 15 minutes going over the weeks material just won’t cut it anymore, and this realization that our instrument...

    A Guitarists Journey: Enjoying The Milestones

    By Tyrone Mayer

    On Guitar Lessons, Inspiration, Motivation
    No Comments
    A guitarists journey and even musicians in general share the idea that they are never done. There is always one more piece, another technique, an alternate phrase, better tone, and, a plethora of other things. These ideas coupled with the selfish nature of learning an instrument the tendency can be to focus on deficiencies instead of what we have accomplished. Why is this? I know that I am guilty...

    I’ve always been interested in the idea of globalization and how the whole world is connected. We are more exposed to each other than ever before in the entire history.

    On Inspiration, Motivation
    No Comments
    It’s not always as easy as it should be to convince someone to listen to the great guitarists from decades past.
