You could always use your weather to get tourist dollars.

I am meeting up with a couple friends tonight to jam! Should be fun. I had mentioned over at L&M how a friend of mine and our wives get together occasionally for dinner. He wants to learn guitar but rarely practices due to his profession (and family stuff) just doesn't allow him the time. But they had brought another couple to dinner and the conversation turned to guitar playing. The new guy, Doug, is a really good player and his son is in our local blues organization's "Blues Ed" program for high school kids. His son plays a mean blues guitar! Doug had introduced me to another player, Steve. Steve and Doug and I have been trying to schedule a time to get together and jam for months. Tonight it might finally happen!!!!!!!!! We are supposedly going to ply "Wild Horses". It has three guitar parts and Doug is going to sing. As I said, it should be fun!

Those of us working session 13, "Playing the Blues", or anyone interested in Blues Rhythm or comping might find this article in this month's Premier Guitar interesting. It is titled "Rhythm Rules: 8 Ways to Navigate a 12-Bar Blues". No hot soloing licks here. "In this lesson, we’ll look at eight different 12-bar rhythm styles that you can expand on or alter to fit nearly any situation. "

New Used Semi-hollow Guitar day. Over the past couple of years, seeing several NGDs for this style of guitar got me thinking I should give one a try so I’ve been playing a few various models at GC the past few visits. This ES-135 was at my local Guitar store and I played it a while back when the price was well above my point. Well this time I guess they decided it had hung on the wall long enough and floored me when I asked what the bottom line was. It was so far below what I expected all I could do was stutter I’ll take it. The guitar is in good shape but not mint. That said this picture didn’t do it justice. It’s a very different animal and I’m enjoying figuring out what it does best.

Robin Trower has been one of my favourite guitar slingers. Bridge of Sighs is still on my Play List in my car and at home.

These videos show how Robert Taylor deals with a dry guitar. Hopefully you never let your guitar get this dry.

I have watched these many times on my cell phone while eating a late supper at the office. Each time I think whoops you forgot that tip didn't you, better review it again at home. Fortunately I was able to print out most of the lessons on the Gibson site before it closed down and have a full large notebook of those older lessons. That was such a bad move on Gibson's part. Wonder how many Gibson guitar's were purchased after watching those lessons?
