Hello and welcome to your April 15th issue of Guitar Noise News. We have three new lessons, some contest winners to announce and some very cool news concerning one of our GN Forum members and his band.

Welcome to the first of your April issues of Guitar Noise News. Notice that I didn’t date this issue. Originally I was going to make an “April Fool” edition but there are some important things to discuss and I didn’t want anyone to mistake an important bit of news as an April Fools joke.

This issue has to be a bit short and my apologies in advance for that. For whatever reason every deadline in the universe seems to be today, so I’m trying to finish up everything at the same time which means, of course, that nothing is getting completed.

Exciting news this week as David’s new book “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Playing Rock Guitar” hits bookstores on March 2. We’ve got a brand new contest where you can win a copy, along with all the usual news and lessons.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #108 of Guitar Noise News! We have three new lessons to tell you about, plus some more book recommendations. We also answer a reader question sent by email.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #107 of Guitar Noise News! I’d like to get in an early wish for a “Happy Chinese New Year” to you all! The Year of the Tiger starts February 14, which is not only Valentines’ Day, but also the day before our next newsletter.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #106 of Guitar Noise News!As more of the (seemingly endless) book deadlines are passing, I’m thinking that it’s long past time that we’ve had a Guitar Noise Seminar of some sort. So I’m thinking that it might be good to start scheduling maybe one or two for this spring, say possibly early May or early June.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #105 of Guitar Noise News! I’m actually writing this newsletter up on Christmas Day, so I’d like to take a moment to wish everyone a “Happy Christmas,” although it will be a belated one by the time you read this.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #104 of Guitar Noise News! It truly seems like yesterday that 2009 was just starting, bright and full of promise. And now we are just about two weeks away from kicking off 2010. But lots of things have happened in the past year, even though we might have to think a minute or two about it.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #103 of Guitar Noise News! Since the holidays are once again upon us, it’s a bit of a no-brainer to guess that the Guitar Noise “topic of the month” for December is “Holiday Songs for Guitar.” The first of December also means a new face for our featured artist for the month. Jimi Hendrix gets the nod for December. This month we pay tribute to this man whom many consider to be an important influence to anyone who plays electric guitar.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #102 of Guitar Noise News! We have three new lessons this week (although one isn’t quite ready just yet). David also answers a beginner question he received by email along with all the regular site news.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #101 of Guitar Noise News! Though he was traveling to Chicago this past week, David still managed to clear three new lessons for publication. Check them out along with all the latest site news.

Welcome to the August 15 issue of Guitar Noise News. Our big news this time out is the announcement of the 2009 FODfest tour. We also mark the passing of Les Paul, who passed away earlier this week at the age of 94.
