Hey all, I thought I'd share a song that I wrote and performed for my daughter's wedding (which just happened on June 18). It was a great day! The version that I posted to the link below is the demo version that I recorded using a simple Garageband set up (M-Audio Mobile-Pre USB, Shure SM58...

My son is moving to Alaska (from Minnesota) this week, and we're sorting out how to get his acoustic guitar -- a Seagull with a TRIC case -- to him in one piece. I'd appreciate some guidance from the community on what's worked best for you. The recent video about United Breaking guitars...

I've been taking lessons for a few months, learning pentatonic and major scales for starters and playing some transcribed solos. That's going pretty well. Where I feel stuck is on improvising solos that don't sound like me running up and down the scales (because that's exactly what I'm doing)...

Dan Wilson, singer, songwriter and front man for Semisonic, posted the text of a commencement speech he recently gave. If you're an aspiring artist, there's some sage words and encouragement from a guy who's been a working musician and songwriter his whole career — and who has experienced the...

Starting next Tuesday, this nearly 46-year-old dog is going to learn a few more tricks. I'll be getting back into weekly lessons, which will force me to get playing daily again. I'm really excited and will have to report on my progress. Dave

I've been saving up, and finally bought the Mira. I'm very happy with it on all counts, except that my playing has a ways to go.

Our nephew turns 7 next month and has expressed some serious and ongoing interest in playing guitar (he digs the electric, but acoustic is an option, particularly if the group has some wisdom to share on this.). I'd appreciate input from those who've been through this with the little ones about...

I'd love your input on this scenario: I play acoustic guitar now and am starting to play electric more in a worship band (I want to be more versatile). With the exception of a Boss TU-2 tuner, I own no pedals, nor do I have an acoustic amp. I'd kind of like to go with one acoustic amp (kinda...

Anyone know of some good sites that have audio/video demos of strumming patterns? Mine are getting stale.

I bought my AD30VT about a year ago and am finally discovering its power. I'd like to use it at our church, but since the 30 doesn't have a separate line out, I'd have to sacrifice the ability to monitor my playing through the amp by using the headphone jack. Beyond putting a mic on the amp...

Nice to be with the group -- I've really enjoyed the breadth and depth of topics on this site and thought I'd officially sign in. While I've had a guitar in my hand since I was 9 years old, I really consider myself a newbie since haven't focused on it until the last year when my youngest went...

I'm a newbie to electric guitar, but am interested in getting a PodXT Live to make life more fun and interesting. I already have a Vox AD30VT practice amp and wondered if anyone has experience in getting the cleanest sound from the Vox so it doesn't flavor the PodXT too much so you can get...
