<r>No one can tell you what brand you should buy, because different guitars appeal to different people. Not everyone bonds with the same brand. But I can recommend a terrific store: McCabe's. They carry over 30 different brands, at all price points. So if you don't find something you like there, it ...

<t>Shel,<br/> <br/> First and foremost, let me say how flattered and honored I was to host you and Vanessa in Seattle. Being able to spend an extended period of time with you guys, going to Starbucks, chatting, grabbing guitars and singing, all of it ... just so much fun. Thanks for making me a prio...

<r>Hi Dermot, David,<br/> <br/> Unfortunately, we got a problem with EU members, there has been a major internet outage in that region that affected both Cloud Flare and AWS, two services that we use to deliver content at a faster speed and stream the video lessons and that's why if you're located i...

<t>Daryl,<br/> <br/> I'm not sure if the specific type of D'Addarios you're using are coated or not, but I use D'Addario EXPs, and I don't seem to have a lot of squeak. I think pretty much any coated string will reduce that sound compared to uncoated strings. As a side note, I'm not a huge fan of El...

<t>Craig,<br/> <br/> For such a gorgeously mellow song, it's deceptively action packed. You managed to accomplish the two most important things in this difficult piece: you mastered the technical aspects of playing the song while, at the same time, capturing the spirit and the flow. I'm envious that...

<t>Marc: Thanks very much. I've been doing a lot of open mics lately, so if I look comfortable, it's probably the absence of panic you're seeing.<br/> <br/> Jay: Very nice of you to say. Whether you do it in its original tuning (standard, played in C major) or some oddball tuning like mine, it's ver...

<r>Not long ago, I was noodling around with Into the Mystic, a song that hasn't been on my radar for about 45 years. It's typically played in the key of C, but for some reason I decided to try it out in open-D, and I sort of liked what I heard. Three days later I performed it live at this open mic a...

A twang of guitars.
