I’ve never given away The Real Book on this site before - but today I’m running a 2 week contest that’ll give you a chance to win a copy of this great book. This is a book that should be in every jazz guitar player’s library. This is the last contest I’m running until the holiday season, so good luck!
Today’s post talks about 5 things that I wish I knew before starting a band. These tips will help you make sense of dealing with different personalities, how to play to your strengths, being prepared, and so much more. These tips also make some great life advice!
David Gilmour of Pink Floyd will be auctioning off 120 guitars out of his personal collection this month. These include classics like the black Fender Strat he's known for, and used on countless Floyd albums.
To coincide with the show, Gilmour is doing a short run podcast to discuss a couple of the more popular guitars he'll be putting up for auction.
You can check out the podcast here.
The Aristocrats (featuring Guthrie Govan, Bryan Beller and Marco Minnemann) have a new album coming out at the end of this month. Their fourth studio album will be called "You Know What...?", and they have a tour going all summer long. I'll be heading to the show in NY, so be on the lookout for pictures and a review!
The tour dates are on their website, along with a full tracklist for the album. But just yesterday they released an awesome album teaser, which you can check out below.
If you're a musician, and especially a guitarist, you're most likely as psyched as I am for this album!
Today's giveaway is for an accessory I've never given away on Chasing Sound. If you've ever listened to awesome slide players like Derek Trucks, Duane Allman, or Warren Haynes, you've most likely been inspired.
Learning slide guitar is a lot of fun, so that's why this month I'm giving away an awesome Ernie Ball glass slide. I'm going to announce the winner on Sunday! You can enter below, and once you win, I'll contact you to see if you want the small, medium or large version. Good luck!
