Open E Tuning
As a teenager I learned to play guitar in a style that has served me well. I have since written a book of lessons on this alternative style of guitar playing. It is without a doubt the easiest and fastest system of learning you will ever discover.

Norman LeDonne replied to john rossi's discussion 'playing for hospital patience'
This is a great thread. I played in retirement homes a few times. For them, I played some more modern songs (fingerstyle, I don't sing) which was okay, but not great. Since then I've been working on hymns (like How Great Thou Art), and some songs th…

I saw Rory Block perform in Missoula, MT several years ago. It was a great and memorable show. She's an incredible player and singer, and is definitely one of my favorites.

Gregory Lygon replied to Anton Emery's discussion 'Classical Exercises for Fingerstyle guitar?' in the group Fingerstyle players
The very little exposure I had to classical has influenced the way I play . . . I can't imagine life without it. Just using the "p-i-m-a" approach to everything was most valuable, and I can't imagine playing without the thumb and three fingers. Heck…

Correction for “Africa,” as arranged by Andy McKee

We’ve discovered an unfortunate error in our transcription of Andy McKee’s fingerstyle arrangement of “Africa” in the November 2009 issue of Acoustic Guitar. The tuning key listed is slightly (but significantly!) off the mark—the tuning that we printed was D G D G B D, but should have been D G D G A D. The notes and tab numbers are correct, as is the second-fret capo. We’re deeply sorry about any confusion this may have caused.

McKee recently uploaded several new high-definition videos t… Continue

A Special Froggy Bottom Guitar

Michael Millard of Froggy Bottom Guitars sent the following note about a special guitar he recently completed in commemoration of his friend, Thomas Humphrey. Often a great guitar gets built with best of intentions.

The story is best told in Michael's words:

For three years in the early ‘70’s, the two young guys actually building the guitars in the renowned New York workshop of Michael Gurian were Thomas Humphrey and Michael Millard… Continue
