Welcome to my blog!
.
What you’ll find here is information about GuitArchitecture (which deals with a pedagogical/performance approach to applied sonic visualization on the guitar), links to media, lesson material and various related music projects that are ongoing.
.
This is a place I post things GuitArchitecture-related as well as things related to other areas of interest of mine: practicing, pedagogy, gear (and laptop based guitar in particular), music business and personal motivation.
.
I’ll try to keep this area updated but I’ve sorted various blog posts here by subject in chronological order (newest to oldest). There may be multiple listings if things cross categories.
.
Please Note:
All of the lesson and practicing material has been moved to the LESSONS Page.
.
The Gear and Gear Review posts have been moved to the GEAR Page.
.
An important note:
You’re free to download and distribute any of the material here but I maintain the copyright on the material (so it doesn’t show up in someone else’s website uncredited (or worse – their book) which happens more often than you might think.)
