The Guitar Player's Resource
The April-May edition is now online. Now, let's be honest. When was the last time you heard some brilliant new music through a mega-watt sound system with a real, live, round volume knob that you could turn whenever you felt like it? Music is having the life squashed out of it through earbuds - resolve to listen to music at least once this week the way it was meant to be heard, with speakers pumping, the subwoofer thumping and with a volume knob you can spin when things get going good.
Discs To Get Things Going Good
April's guest columnists bring picking, scales, recording and improvising to the table, and cover areas such as guitar technique, iTunes and record sales. We've got thirteen fresh articles altogether - nine by returning columnists along with four new contributors. Canadian guitarist David Martone is back with another in his series entitled "Zone Recording: Old School". Tom Hess returns with a new column for guitarists called "How To Practice Guitar With A Limited Amount Of Time". Mike Campese puts out yet another technique column, "String Skips". Guy Pople returns with his "Harmonic Alchemy: Reference Spreadsheet". Guitarist Scott Allen is back with his column entitled "Soloing Strategies, Part 2". Guitarist Kole returns with his new column "Adding Color to Your Music (Replacing 1 With 9)". Andre Tonelli also rejoins us with the next installment of his series, "The Tree Of Possibility, Part II". Guitarist Mike O'Malley is back with helpful advice in, "Preparing To Record". New contributors include Dan Sorber with his "Improvisation Masterclass", Ronnie Neuhauser with "Improvisation: Letting The Music Play You", Jirakit Somame with "Control Your Picking Hand", and Jean-Pierre Zammit with"How To Practice Scales". Finally, indie marketing and promotions expert Tim Sweeney returns with food for thought in "I-Tunes Pricing - Problems For Independent Artists?"
