It has been absolutely crazy with work and shopping for the holidays, which is why I was so excited to spend some time writing this week’s issue of Six String Sunday. I can just relax with my MacBook, and talk about the best guitar stuff of the week.

I had been talking to the guys in the Discord and seeing what their favorite albums of the year were, and there’s a lot to choose from! We got 3 albums each from guys like Ariel Posen and Cory Wong, a new War on Drugs album that’s incredibly well done, lots of great punk like Turnstile’s Glow On, and much, much more. It was a great year for music. What’s your favorite 1 or 2 albums of the year? Let me know by replying to this email!

As we move into 2022, I have to imagine it’s going to be better than 2021 and certainly 2020, right? Anyway, here’s a boatload of my favorite guitar links of the week, to take your mind off of all the craziness! Let’s get into it.

This week I have everything from new signature guitars to legends of rhythm guitar, how to set up your pedals in the best way, and a ton more. Is there anything you picked up during the holiday sales? - A guitar course, piece of gear or something else. Let me know by replying to this email!

I just wrapped up episode 12 of the Chasing Sound Live livestream. I talked about my favorite guitar stories, looked ahead to what 2022 will hold for Chasing Sound, and most importantly, did a lesson on playing power and barre chords. If you're just starting out with guitar, you can check out the replay of the stream here.

Let’s get right into this week’s links!

Hey friends! I’m in a partial food coma, and I’m sure many folks who read this newsletter are as well. So this week’s newsletter will be links only, with no commentary. BUT…make sure you join me on the next livestream, because I’ll be talking about my favorite links of the week!

I did a make-up live stream on Tuesday of this week, and it was a lot of fun. I talk about pentatonic scales, knowing theory, and more. You can check out the replay here. I also talk about my new Fractal FM3, which I’ve been going down a rabbit hole with, creating new tones/presets/scenes all the time. Get ready for some videos on that box in the future!

Before I get outta here and share this week’s links, I have to give a shout out to Tom Bukovac and his new album ‘Plexi Soul’. The album is truly a guitarist’s delight - awesome playing, great tones, cut to tape. Go check it out on BandCamp.

How’s it going for you this weekend? As we’re in the full swing of the holiday season, I’m hunkering down, and thinking of all the cool ways I can do new, fun guitar stuff in 2022. If you’d like to see more or less of anything in the new year from Chasing Sound, let me know!
​

I’m also always on the lookout for cool guitar deals around Thanksgiving when it comes to guitar, tech, etc. If there’s anything awesome you think I can’t miss, let me know about that too.

Alright let’s get into this week’s links!

It’s been one heck of a week over here. Been busy with work, hockey is in full swing (and the NJ Devils are doing pretty good!), and I finally was able to sell my Fractal AX–8 and purchase the Fractal FM3 - which I’ve been diving into with the rising force of a 100 Yngwie’s. Keep an eye out for some new videos up on my YouTube, talking about the FM3, how to use it, what my favorite patches are, and more.

It’s been a quieter week in the guitar world, but I still have some really fun links to share with you. So without further ado, let’s get into this week’s links!
