GOT A TIP?

"At the end of the day, it's your life, go after it."- Samantha Fish
I still connect very much to who I am and who I was when I started this.  If I think back to when I was 15 years old, playing guitar in my bedroom and looking up to these musicians, it's just a dream at that point.  Not knowing how to get even from point A to point B to play a gig.  If I look back at who I was, and think about everything that's happened between then and now, I'm walking a really rare path, and I know it.

"The Power of Basic Chord Shapes - Using the CAGED system: Part V".
All of our fingers, with the exception of the one(s) being used to barre, will be curled at the first and second knuckles, creating a bridge under each finger so that the ONLY part of each finger that touches ANYTHING is our fingertip. If our fingers are curled properly, the notes produced by each string including the open ones will ring out clearly and unhindered.

"Playing guitar is a fantastic way to channel emotions, even when you start out."
The Fixx's raised profile eventually led to the group being offered a contract by MCA Records. Worried about the potential drug-user implication of the band's name, MCA insisted on a name change before signing them to the label. A compromise was reached as the band altered the spelling of their name to The Fixx, and a deal was duly inked

The Power of Basic Chord Shapes - Using the CAGED System: Part II
BY Kevin Sergent
o kick us off, next in line in the CAGED sequence of chord shapes is the G shape. There are (3) ways to play the G shape in its open position as a G chord. First up is what has been called the ‘full G chord’ or the ‘4 finger G’. To perform the ‘4 finger G’ we will ensure that all 4 fingers are curled at both knuckles and place our 1st finger on the 5th string, 2nd fret. Next, we place our 2nd finger on the 6th string, 3rd fret. Next, our 3rd finger on the 2nd string, 3rd fret and then finally our 4th finger on the 1st string, 3rd fret. Notice that the 3rd and 4th strings are open. Strum from the 6th string down.

"Mental health issues can be disguised as so many other things, ..... learn to listen to your body AND mind." - KOTA
BY Edward Schooley
Mental health can absolutely look like ANYTHING! It’s becoming more well known at this point that even the most successful, funny, outgoing, famous, loving people are still affected by mental health issues, so it can be very hard to understand the signs. I think being open and listening to what those around you are saying and feeling is the best way to get insight into their mental health. Often, common signs are change of appetite or sleep, so if you or someone you love isn’t eating or sleeping normally, definitely look into it.

A Fear of failure or the fear of what other people think can propel us to stay complacent, comfortable and bored.
BY Edward Schooley
A complacent thought process has developed and there is no turning back or changing the minds of artists in the music industry. It affects all genres of music. Though, in each decade I can select certain artists that have stuck out as being authentic. You can say the “buck” the trends and follow their own lead or path. One of the reasons why they stood out from the rest, is because they were unafraid of their decisions. All they knew, is that they wanted too authentic and real as possible. Even if they had to accomplish what is seen as unpopular

NEW! Guitarists around the world are free to Un-Lock their guitars!
BY Guitar Thrills Magazine
Graph Tech founder Dave Dunwoodie shares, “There are so many players out there that have a love/hate relationship with their locking nut. It affects the way you can bend and change strings and locks you out of using your machine heads for fine tunings or open tunings. There have been some attempts with rollers nuts and nuts carved to replace a locking nut, but the Un-Lock Nut really does it right and opens up a world of possibilities for a new experience in playing with a guitar equipped with a locking bridge!”
