I know that GDGB is a popular tuning for the 4 string (or whatever equivalent in other keys). If you've ever tried to play slide in this tuning you may have run into a few problems. For your…Continue

That sounds like a pretty good arrangement, Patrick. No pun intended. You can use them on your site or anywhere that might be helpful to people. Kind of cool to do stuff like this with someone as far away as Tasmania. That part of the world is definitely on my bucket list!
Hey Patrick, was that a program of some type that generated the tab? Pretty cool stuff.I hope to do a few more of those type videos and if you could do that tab thing with them I think quite a few folks could benefit.

Man, Retro boogie and the Long ride are in the zone- the rock n' roll zone!
Good listening or highway music there for sure, keep them coming.
Yeah, man, it came out better than o.k. Direct in can really do it and that's what
I go to as well. Thanks!
I've got to compliment you on your great cover of Ave Maria on the CBN Christmas
album. I think your presentation conveyed the power due this song and i'm very curious
as to how you achieved that immense tube driven sound, much less controlled it so
well. Thanks!
mate, what a fine job you done on your ave maria cover for the xmas album.
it's a favorite of mine and you crafted a superb rendition
cheers

Patrick, Midnight Rambler, well done.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Learning music needn't be hard. It may sometimes appear that way but that's more to do with how it's presented than anything else. I'm proposing a series of blogs to help demystify the study of music using methods that I've found effective over many years. The learning can be summed up in two essential premises
Premise no 1 - Words are only useful when they can describe what you are hearing.
All the blabbering on in the world won't make a scrap of difference…

In response to a question on the Forums, here's one way to convert 6 string tabs into 3 string, tuned to a dyad chord, also called 1-5-1, "power chord" or perfect fifth. (For example, tuned GDG)

After a recent forum discussion got side-tracked by an online vs face-to-face teaching argument I thought I'd present some actual evidence. Some may not be interested, if that's you then I'd suggest you move on, it may get a little dry. If not however, or if you think I've just got a barrow to push.......
I've studied this for a number of years now, it was a major focus of my undergrad music ed degree and since then I've learned a whole lot more, through studying the research…

In my last blog we had a discussion about learning and how the brain makes it all happen. Iit’s good to know this stuff because it has implications for how we practice. If we can do it smarter it'll not only be easier but we'll get better results.
Much of our practice is simply repeating a particular set of movements, in the process engaging nerves and muscles in a specific order. Initially these movements take some conscious effort but once the neural conections are established they…
