Blueprints – or what you’ll find here

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.)
