My tickets to the Boston show say: 'A solo performance with Bruce Cockburn' so it doesn't sound like the band will be there. However, I am looking forward to...
What is nice about playing the guitar is that you do not have to fully understand music theory to be able to play and ad lib. Learning some simple geography...
Hi, If you're a musician who uses the internet to help spread the word about your music, you'll appreciate the new features this week at Music Forte. Here's...
Now I am a big Bruce fan so I was excited for his "new" album and all. Then I got it, was I ever dissapointed! I thought that at least the old instrumental,...
Hello Derek, I do not have the album yet but I sure agree with you and feel a little bit disapointed as Bruce has always showed and told that he didn't want to...
To be fair, all the promotional material etc. made it clear, I think, that the old stuff would be pasted on. That said, I agree it would have been better to...
I agree wholeheartedly.... I have to imagine that another 30 years of playing and performance experience could only make some of these old tunes sound even...
Yeah, the years of playing experience have continually improved his playing, which is cool because so many people reach a peak and stop improving. I find...

Hello all. I am a producer in the northwest as well as a huge BC fan. (as well as one of the first few in this group) I have just hung up from chatting with...
We discussed this before on this site. I brought it up, too. Probably the record company put Bruce up to it...I have Bruce say some cynical things about the...
Excuse me, I have contributed plenty to this group, and it doesn't seem like the majority of the people mind indulging me on this... especially since this is a...
Hi folks - New member here and probably just a temporary one at that. Regarding the posts on BC anchoring his pinky, I can offer a little insight. I was...
Hello Phil, Nice post about the pinky. Very cool that you met and spoke with Cockburn. Lucky you. I have been anchoring my pinky on the pic guard of my guitar...
RCM - if you're talking about classical guitar lessons, that will develop your fingerstyle technique faster than just about anything else. About a year after...
I am in the same boat (although never had the pleasure of meeting Bruce C.) started playing many years ago and immediately latched on to the pinky on the ...
Wow. That sounds pretty dreamy. And then you woke up...? But seriously, have you seen the WIW tab in the files section of our site? I have worked with it...
I didn't know there was a Tab section here. I'll have a look for it and then have a look at WIW. I haven't played WIW for probably 20 years. I'll have to...
As far as breaking the habit, I guess for someone that is already pretty good, I'd say "why bother". Chet Atkins had his pinky on the guitar sometimes - but...

Birdmanwordman, You should do a poll, I think you'll find that the majority of us don't mind the variety of musical topics. If you don't want to read it,...
Hey Dave Pull your head in mate. That is really quite arrogant and intolerant. This is a place where musicans who are interested in Bruce's music can discuss...

Hey Phil What a great experience. I can understand about the pinky for finger picking but for playing with a pick I rekon you can't beat the technique. Horses...
