Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"June 2nd, we'll be having a show at the woodshed, with Matt Kaplan, and another new player, Brett Holland (who's been a touring manager, etc, for Tommy Emmanuel)"
Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"You missed a good one last night. Both players were interesting, with Devon being the new guy in the area, very aggressive and punchy, while Todd was remarkably tasty. Some really nice tunes, understated groove with lots of finesse. He's come a…"
Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"Yeah, it makes more sense with a guitar in hand :-)"
Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"Yep. Take a 7th chord, lower the 3rd, lower the 5, lower the (already flatted) 7th, and you have a diminished chord. Since you lowered 3 out of 4, you can also just raise the root and get the same relative intervals. "Why?" - 99% of music…"
Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"Where'd you end up with the theory lessons, Mike?
I hope to make it this sunday, I've been missing too many. I thought I had your address, but I can't find it. "
Doug Young commented on Tony Loeser's group Peninsula Fingerstyle"I see what's going on. We're on the Ning site, which has the url:

Montreal Guitar Show
I'm in Montreal, closing out a busy day at the 2011 Guitar Show. The show is held against the backdrop of - and smack in the middle of - the huge Montreal Jazz Festival. The guitar show features luithiers from around the world, with builders from the US, Canada, France, the UK, Asia, and more. The show is quite busy and well attended, but still very comfortable for players checking out guitars. The room, holding tables from about 100 luthiers, is quiet enough for a quick test drive right at the… Continue

Newport Wrapup
Well, I'm back home and going through the many, many photos I took to see what else might be of interest. Here's a few that caught my eye, that I don't think I've posted yet.

Newport Guitar Festival - Day Three
Day three here in Ft Lauderdale took a decidedly soggy turn, but that hasn't stopped the show. It's a busy day, and between catching Muriel Anderson's All Star Night in a little bit and an early flight home tomorrow, I'll have to save most of the rest of my photos and comments until I get home. But here's a few to hold you till thern.
I tried to catch more of the concerts today and also checked out the "other side", the electric room, which actually had some items of interest even to… Continue

Newport Guitar Festival - Day Two
Saturday was a busy day at the Hard Rock, as the crowds came in for the weekend, and the guitar show ratcheted into high gear. I spent the day trying to look at nooks and crannies that I might have overlooked the first day, starting with the Hard Rock itself. Rock may be mostly about electric guitars, at least as evidenced by the guitars on the wall, but today I noticed this nice tribute to Hank Williams on the way in, featuring an "acoustic", even if it was…

Newport Guitar Festival - Day One
Hello from Fort Lauderdale, where this year’s Newport guitar show is being held amid palm trees, and intermittently sunny Florida weather. The Newport show was first held in Newport, RI, hence the name, but has since relocated to Miami, and this year is at a new venue, the Hard Rock Café and Casino. The setting makes for a lot of contrasts. This Hard Rock is a huge full-blown Vegas-style…
