Totally Guitars Weekly Wrap Up September 21st, 2012

http://www.TotallyGuitars.com This week there were some interesting questions on the TG Forum about outlining chords and lead playing with triads. I added a bit of info to the discussion in this week's News, although it might create more confusion than clarity due to trying to be brief. We are happy to welcome back Keith Holland to our Luthier's Corner. Keith did a video on his custom guitars. We also got info on The Listening Post from Steve Rose about a spectacular guitar player, Little Axe. And speaking of axes, I hope everybody saw Jack van Breen from Guitar Showcase showing off the triple-necked guitar built by Richard Mermer. This week's additions to the Target Program included Ring Of Fire by Johnny Cash and Far Away by Nickelback. Ring Of Fire is notable for many things but the most interesting to me was the way it modulated through three keys, creating quite a large vocal range that Johnny made seem effortless. The Nickelback tune is a good exercise in picking out arpeggios over chords with quite a few common tones. We also added a Student Review on Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd, as well as a pair of Fly On The Wall Lessons. The first was Fred working on Norwegian Wood and the second was a bit about Kelly Joe Phelps Country Blues with Beaker. Till next week... Stay Tuned & In Touch, Neil
