Re: On the Beat - Episode 191 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up July 26th, 2013

Hi John,

Great suggestion, and coincidentally one my daughter just asked me to do for her as well. It's joined the 'to do' list but no promises just yet.

Re: Not Free !!

<r>Greetings nikpikin and welcome to TG,<br/> <br/> Over the years Totally Guitars has grown and expanded much faster than we anticipated. As a result, some everyday housekeeping managed to file certain things in hard-to-find closets. There are over 60 Complete Free Lessons available and just yester...

Re: Jim Croce / New York's Not My Home

<r>Hi Bart,<br/> <br/> You are hitting below the belt here as I love just about everything Jim wrote, and even I Got A Name, which he may as well have. This falls into a category with Box #10, These Dreams, Thursday, and a bunch of others that I can probably not get to for a long while due to the in...

Re: >>New Target and Pay Per Lesson release - Things We Said Today - Beatles

<r>Vanessa,<br/> <br/> Not surprised as this is one of about 200 songs by these guys that recreated and redefined music as far as I am concerned. This came up on my random play iTunes the other day and I was sure I had done a lesson on it. I checked to make sure I had talked about the 16th note boun...

Re: an Appeal to David Crosby Fans

<r>Hi Walt,<br/> <br/> Thanks for the link, although an obscure C&N album? I first heard this on Four Way Street and thought it was very cool. It later appeared on the 'import' A Very Stony Evening, later released on Another Stony Evening due to the popularity of the first one (colored vinyl in ...

Re: Music reading question

<r>Hi Gang,<br/> <br/> Daryl pretty much had it. For a single voice stems go up or down to look balanced in the staff. When there are two voices the lower voice goes down and the the upper goes up, even if they cross somehow. There are times, even in guitar music, where there are three voices on a s...

Re: On the Beat - Episode 189 - Weekly Guitar Video News Wrap Up July 12th, 2013

<r>Walt,<br/> <br/> Wow, somehow the TP rabbit hole comment struck a nerve and I have to tell you that after watching John play Jack And Diane solo I almost developed an appreciation for Tom. I have never quite gotten the Bruce thing either but that probably has to do with growing up on the West Coa...

Re: capo and keys

<r>Hey gang,<br/> <br/> This is getting over complicated. When you have a capo anywhere tuned at any pitch a guitar player thinks in a relative key- the shapes of the chords you are playing. The key you are actually in is the absolute key- the key the piano or bass player thinks in.<br/> <br/> Capo ...

Re: >>New Target and Pay Per Lesson release - More Fool Me - Genesis

<r>Scott,<br/> <br/> Glad you liked this one but not sure I'd be in the Collins fan camp. They lost me with Follow You Follow Me and the string of stuff that followed the pop formula. Never stuck with Peter Gabriel for much the same reason either.<br/> <br/> On another note, any suggestions for othe...
