I've been playing since I was 12 and I'm 41 now, but I do not have perfect pitch and never did. I do have a tip though: Use a good electronic tuner. I have...
I would say, go for it! I only know the first few notes, harmonics at the 12th and 7th frets on the 5th and 6th strings, but probably everybody knows that...

I agree - it's not about the number of notes you can fit in or how fast you can play. It's more about style, tone, feel and spirit. Steve M. I look upon...

I agree that Michael Hedges was a great talent and I unfortunately never got a chance to see him live. Stills was by far not the best guitarist I have seen,...
What makes Cockburn so great is the fact that he has continued to grow as an artist. His social commentary is the tread that runs though his entire repertoire...
I lived in the SF Bay area for a while in the 1980s while Hedges was recording and performing a lot there. I saw him a number of times in small clubs like The...
