It’s been a busy week over here in New Jersey! I’m a couple hours away from fireworks (happy Independence Day to readers in the U.S.!), the Stanley Cup playoffs have been in full swing, and I had a fun time doing episode two of Chasing Sound Live yesterday on YouTube.
I have a crazy amount of links to share with you this week. Insightful interviews, helpful lessons, great gear, new music, and a lot more. Let’s get into it!
Check out the second episode of Chasing Sound Live! This week I'm talking about my favorite guitar podcasts, Ibanez headless guitars, the Bigsby pedal, my favorite iOS apps for guitar, and a lot more!
Hope you enjoy!
This week we’re talking about tips for getting back out and gigging, a 20 week chops builder, tips for jazz and self-taught guitarists, and a lot more. Make sure you stick to the end of this newsletter, because we have a lot to talk about.
Right at the top here, don’t forget that July 3rd I’ll be doing another livestream on YouTube. Make sure to subscribe to the channel here so you know when I go live! I’d love to have you stop in and ask guitar questions.
Guitar World is getting together all the Amazon Prime Day deals on stuff like guitars, effects, amps, computers and more. There are some phenomenal deals on guitars that are under $1K and even under $500. If you're getting started on guitar, now might be the time to pick up that Squier Strat or Tele! As a heads up, some of these deals are actually from Amazon themselves, while others are served through Guitar Center. Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!
This week’s issue is jam packed with new guitar stuff! Rush’s Alex Lifeson has a more affordable signature guitar coming out, Phil McKnight shows us the essential tools he uses to set up guitars, someone plays “Sweet Child O’ Mine”…with their feet. Ya can’t make this stuff up.
Also just yesterday I did my first livestream for Chasing Sound on YouTube. If you caught the stream live, thank you! If not, I'd love to have you for the next one. Use this link for the replay, and make sure to subscribe to Chasing Sound so you know when the next one is coming up!
Thanks to the folks who made it out to the first Chasing Sound livestream. I didn't think I'd have much to talk about, but at the hour and four minute mark, thought otherwise! I also have a lot of great ideas for the next stream.
If you were unable to make the first one, you can check out the replay below. I'd love to have you join the next live stream, and ask questions. Make sure to subscribe to Chasing Sound on YouTube, so you never miss when the next live event is coming up. I'm excited to do another one soon!
How’s it going folks? June has been insanely busy over here, but one thing that always lets me be creative and relax a little bit, is writing this newsletter. I’ve been writing it for years, and it makes me so happy that there’s so much new guitar stuff each and every week. If you were to tell 16 year old Brian that there’d be so many new albums, lessons, gear to lust after, and more, I wouldn’t have believed it.
