Colin Henderson commented on Tony Hogan's video 'Antoine Dufour'
Like wise one of my guitar heroes. Fantastic technique without compromising on musicality. There are a lot of exceptional tappers out there but to often the music seems to take a back seat.

Rule of thumb: slacker strings need more compensation. If the compensation on your Breedlove was working when you tuned down a half step, I would expect it to play flat as you went up the neck when tuned to A440.

Who Am I and What do I Play?

When people ask me what I play, I usually say "I try and play the same as the rest of the band." I play numerous styles with and without plectrum. "Who Am I?" " I'm Tony Hogan, a guitar player who lives in Australia who has played for 40 years, studied jazz guitar with Ike Isaacs ( think Grapelli Quartet with Diz Disley,; Martin Taylor ) and I also studied with Ashok Roy a senior student of Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. I run a couple of Acoustic Guitar Blogs Acoustic Guitarist and the Guitars and they have had over 350,000 visitors, so I guess they must be of relevance to other players. I also have an electric guitar blog as well, I'm hesitant to mention it for fear of upsetting the Acoustic Guitar Demi Gods Electricguitarist
Because I play numerous styles, the benefit is if I get a bit musically dry I can jump into another area of music and quickly be inspired. Celtic, Open tunings, Blues Folk, Bluegrass and other styles. Music, ultimately is about feelings, emotions. We need a great technique and a certain amount of virtuosity to be able to express these emotions to the fullest,

HELP!!!! Blogging and Being Social - Anybody Out There?

As a Guitar Blogger who has written hundreds of articles, not only on guitar but other topics, over a two year period I've had close on 400,000 visitors to a few of my blog sites, as I see it as a great way of communicating and quickly getting stuff out there, I also run an IT Social Network for Web Development. In this time I'm learnt a lot about what works, what doesn't, and how people respond.

As a rule, persons over about 30 generally need to be guided in interacting on the web. That… Continue

Add a Little Jazz to Your Acoustic Guitar Playing - TAB and Music Sheet

I've uploaded a simple Chord Doco using triads for those guitar players wishing to add a little jazz style accompaniment to their playing. It is in TAB and dots. I learnt this technique years ago from British Jazz great Ike Isaacs. I had uploaded previously to the web, but in an oversight I called it 1 6 4 5 progression because I used one of my other templates.

I have found this sort of playing very useful for accompanying singers. Using the triads allows for greater mobility and also the added… Continue

A Guitar Players Nerd and Geek Moment

I have had two computers have problems in the last 3 weeks. As I also work in the IT industry, a quick reminder to back up any of your work, particularly your music that you spent hours recording and editing.

As I just spent the last hour and a half fixing a TC Electronic Sound Card issue and have lost a little hair in the process, I thought it would be a nice idea to remind other guitar players that bypass these thought of things consider the option creatig duplicate copies saved elsewhere.… Continue

Gurian Guitars Anyone?

I have a Gurian guitar made around about 1980. When Pierre Bensusan saw it, he sad that he recorded his first album on the same model. Also some years ago in a Stefa Grossman book, he had also recommended them. Does anyone else here play one?
