Daniel Lehrman — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:22:56 +0000

Greatness… What Does It Really Take?

Daniel Lehrman — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:16:51 +0000

The top guitar players or performers in any field for that matter, think differently when everything is on the line. The great performers focus on what they are doing at the time and absolutely nothing else, they let it go and don’t think or care about the results at the moment. This type of mindset allows [...]

[/caption] To put it mildly, when I read the post from my friend Ovidiu of Guitar Flame it hit a really sour note with me. A “scrapper” is someone (thief, pilferer, plagiarist) who goes to quality sites related to the same subject you are blogging about and stealing [...]

low budget.” Ha, Ha. Boy the joke is on that guy. Have you tried to build a guitar from scratch? I don’t mean a kit that requires assembly. What I mean is to: choose the body wood, then what type of neck wood and all the choices and options in guitar necks (22 or 24 [...]

While I’m out of town and have less opportunity to write about guitars, guitar players, guitar gear and guitar stuff in general, I thought it may be a good time to brush up on your scales and chords. No pun intended, but I practice what I preach. Being out of town is not an excuse to [...]
