    My Rare Guitarticles March 2005

    Greetings!

    Welcome to our inaugural newsletter. Please join me in congratulating our two Newsletter Contest Winners; Jeffrey Barrington, from Michigan for the My Rare Guitarticles name and to Rob Roberge from Sothern California for the story. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest. The stories and articles were so good that we've decided to make this a monthly contest! Every month, authors of published stories will receive a T-Shirt and be eligible to win an Eastwood Guitar. We've included one this month, congrats to Ziggy Majewski from Ontario.

    We are also very pleased to announce the contributions of Michael Wright, The Different Strummer, who will be writing a monthly story for us from his world of Bizarre Guitars. Also each month we will get tips and lessons from Kurt Lorange, author of PlaneTalk The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book.

    As always your input and comments are welcome. Enjoy the Guitarticles! Mike Robinson



    Life Lacking Harmony

    Life Lacking Harmony

    By Rob Roberge

    This is not a story about why you shouldn't drink. It is, however, probably one about why I shouldn't drink. Many musicians, maybe even most, can drink and keep their equipment. Me? No dice. I lost really cool guitars, amps, effects; you name it, I had a knack for losing it.

    Is more better?

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Who among us doesn't relate to Nigel Tufnel in This Is Spinal Tap when he tried to explain to "Meathead" that having an 11 on his amp made it louder than- and hence superior to-one having a mere 10? That's just how I felt back in the day when, after nearly two decades of owning one-that's only one-guitar, a classical, I decided I ought to get an electric guitar again. Who could have known how slippery that slope would turn out to be?!

    Tommy Chong signed my guitar

    Earache my Eastwood

    by Ziggy Majewski

    After his 9 month bid in the clink for selling bongs, Tommy Chong was released from prison and began his comedy tour. When I heard that he would be performing in my home town (London, Ontario) on Jan 28th, 2005. I was like "No way man! I can not miss out on the chance to see Tommy Chong do stand up at Yuk Yuk's!" Now Tommy Chong had other hits besides the ones with a bong, a joint, he was also in a band called Bobby Taylor & the Vancouvers.

    10 TIPS to Becoming a Better Player

    10 TIPS to Becoming a Better Player

    By Kirk Lorange

    1. Get tuned up and stay that way. There's no excuse these days for being out of tune. You can pick up an electronic tuner for just a few bucks these days. If your guitar doesn't stay in tune, or is out when you play up the neck, chances are you need new strings. If it's out of tune with new strings, have the intonation adjusted. 2. Listen. 3. Pay as much attention to what you don't play as to what you do. In other words, let the music breathe, let it be an exercise in contrast.
