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!
