    The Blues...

    my first !

    you can use itunes to convert to mp3 from m4a imo it's better to convert to mp3 coz it's a more common format that can play on almost all media players btw link's not working for me

    Acoustic vs. Electric practice time.

    buzzy buzz

    thanks for replying fretters my guitar doesn't have any electronics. also it's a folk guitar. tried replacing strings and the bridge pin but to no avail. it's the G-string that's causing the buzz. anyone else know? thanks again

    buzzy buzz

    i got a little buzzin problem on me acoustic. it's weird because it only buzzes when it's played open. when it's fretted, there's no problem. the buzz comes from the bridge. anyone know what's wrong with it? thanks in advance :)

    just saying hi

    The mixolydian scale

    think it would be more useful once you show us how to apply this mode (like you mentioned with blues). it's a clear demonstration of the scale nonetheless. look forward to your next one
