Do Better Guitars Make Better Players?
Does the guitar you’ve chosen help make you a better player? Is your
technique, or even your songwriting, influenced by the gear you have near?
>> Technology versus art...
7 Killer Guitar Gizmos You MUST Have!
We asked a few Friends of the Fire, all of them accomplished artists,
authors and renowned gear addicts in their own right, to help us put
together a list of the 7 most murderously desirable guitar gizmos out there.

Playing Old Guitar Strings Stings
Spend thirty seconds playing a guitar strung with old, corroded strings
and you’ll never want to strum on old strings again — unless you’re strange
and lazy like me. I haven’t changed the strings on my acoustic guitar for
over a year. Every song I’ve ever recorded was tracked with crusty strings.
Every song I’ve ever recorded sounds like crap, too, but let’s not get judgy.

Taking Notes
We recently heard Quincy Jones recall a saying from back in the day: “Keep
your music pad and pencil out, because if God knocks you’d better get it
before he takes it down the street to Mancini!”
In one sense the Q quote is a tip of the hat to those uncommon talents, such
as Henry Mancini, who seem to be granted more than their fair share of
creative gifts. But the core message is that you better be ready to catch
musical ideas when they come your way or brother, they’re gone.

Hundreds
of TF students are breaking through to new and better approaches on their
fretboard from Howard Morgen's
Fingerboard Breakthrough.
Which is why we're offering a
Last Chance on discount pricing for those of you still wondering what
all the fuss is about.
Morgen’s system for applying harmonic concepts and visualizing the
fingerboard stems from over 40 years of study, arranging, performance and
teaching. “As guitarists, we've all experienced that sense of frustration
and helplessness that occurs when, while playing, the fingerboard starts to
shut down, dissolving into an elusive maze of strings and frets. Just what
is it that makes viewing musical relationships on guitar so difficult?
Actually, there are a number of factors all of which we’re going to address
and remedy in
Fingerboard Breakthrough.”
Word on the street...
"I love how Howard takes one chord shape and moves it across the
fretboard. Many courses show the relationship of chords along the length of
the fretboard, but
Fingerboard Breakthrough is the first I am aware of that shows how
chords can be played in one position! It was an 'Ah Ha' moment for me!"

NEW COURSE RELEASE! FREE
MODERATED COURSE BLOG/WORKSHOP! |
The art of orchestration and ensemble
playing is a bit of a challenge for most guitar players, especially
those that don't play out all that much. We guitarists tend to either
play too much, play conflicting parts, play in the same register, play
the same exact voicing as the other guitarist, or play when we really
shouldn't be playing anything at all. We've all been there and that’s
what
Guitar Cubed is all about – a course of study focused solely on
orchestrating multiple guitar parts in contemporary music.
Guitar Cubed is organized into a dozen lesson sets where each set
features a different contemporary arrangement for bass, drums and three
guitar parts. Lesson sets are comprised of eight in-depth video lessons
examining every nuance of the three guitar parts, along with the why and
how they work so well together.
Playing with other musicians, and making great music, is the ultimate
reward for all of the practice hours that we guitarists invest in our
craft.
Guitar Cubed will exponentially increase that reward by teaching you
how to listen and how to orchestrate your parts.

COURSE BLOG TOO!
Chris Buono will be
conducting a free moderated course blog for
Guitar Cubed beginning in the month of April, stay tuned to the
forum for
more details. That should give you plenty of time to grab your copy of
the course if you don't yet have one.
Not yet a Level 2
or Level 3 Student or have a copy of the
Guitar Cubed course? No worries, you can still follow along to
get a feel for the course.
