Chasing Sound Live! Episode 9 - Finding Notes Everywhere!

This week's livestream was a blast to do. I showed off a ton of different tricks you can use to find notes all over the fretboard. Some I've learned myself, others I've learned from other teachers I've taken lessons from over the last couple of years. I feel like this is one of the best ways to get started finding notes on guitar, and knowing more of what you're playing, rather than just random shapes/boxes.

You can find the full livestream replay below. Make sure to subscribe to Chasing Sound on YouTube for future livestream notifications!

Is this the world's greatest acoustic player, the perfect chord progression, and free Martin Miller presets

How’s it going this week for you in the woodshed? I’ve been hunkering down and having a lot of fun practicing. I’m at that weird stage in the year where I don’t quite want to turn my heat on yet, but it’s getting a little brisk. Is this another benefit of using a tube rig vs. a modeler? The extra heat the power amp tubes give off?

Speaking of modelers, I’m changing it up a bit, and selling my Fractal AX–8. If you’re looking for a good deal on a fantatsic sounding modeler, you can check it out here on Reverb. Alright, let’s get into this week’s links!

Awesome new Epiphones, finding the right fuzz, the Google tuner and more!

It’s been quieter than usual in the guitar world this week, but I still have a bunch of fun guitar stuff to share with you. As we dip into the colder months (at least here on the east coast), I feel like warming up with a nice cup of coffee and your guitar is the perfect way to spend time learning and creating. Not to mention, if you want to hang out with other like minded guitarists, you should head over to our Discord chat, where we’re always talking about guitar videos, gear, music recommendations and so much more (you can check out an invite at the bottom of this email).

And if you want a behind the scenes look at the stories inside this newsletter, you should join me on Chasing Sound Live! You can sub and be alerted of livestreams here. I just did one yesterday, and had a great time talking about all sorts of guitar stories. I talked about giving Epiphone some credit with these new Slash and Joe Bonamassa guitars that are all priced under a grand. I’m especially interested in the Bonamassa “Lazarus” LP Standard. Check out Joe talking about it here. Alright, let’s get into this week’s links!

Chasing Sound Live! Episode 8 - The Best Guitar Recording Post of All Time

If you're in the market for a new guitar and have less than a thousand bucks, we talk about the recent Epiphone guitars that are making news, and we also talk about how to invest in one of a kind Gibsons too!

Tips & tricks on learning the fretboard, how to enjoy playing guitar more, guitar course season - Six String Sunday

This week I have a true grab bag of links to share with you. I love sharing my favorite lessons, guitar performances, and odd stories (see the Mad Max link below). And I’m happy to say that this week’s issue has all of that and more!

Personally, I’ve still been tearing through the alternate picking book by Chris Brooks, and I also picked up a really fun course from Mary Spender and Ariel Posen. Both have made me re-think my playing and my practice schedule quite a bit. What have you been working on this week? Let’s get into this week’s links!
