I know I haven't been around in quite a bit, but I've just gotta share.

In the month of August I'll be the (or one of the) featured guitarists on www.asiaguitar.net

Pretty excited, there is a TON of great talent in the inaugural month of July, and it's quite an honor to be among them....from Classical to percussion fingerstyle.

So I put this video together (the sync job isn't so good....recording the video and THEN the audio was quite crazy with timing.)

But either way, I won't make this video public to the wolves of youtube until August 1st.....I've shared with a few already, but wanted to share here too:

Hope you enjoy!

Thanks TR!!!

Does that mean you can quit the day job now?

Thanks!

I was pretty happy that I got asked, it meant alot....although until I do more originals I don't think I can really call myself a true "guitarist"....time to get to work!

Ask people you know to write something - it only needs to be a chord sequence. See if you can develop some original material from what they produce. Take them along for the ride.
