    My Rare Guitarticles November 2005

    Greetings!

    Last month was a little light on the article submissions, so I'm entering my own article for November, Even Better Than the Real Thing. I wrote this about 5 years ago but it is still valid today. In fact, it was the original spark that started EASTWOOD Guitars. I hope you enjoy it... However, WE NEED MORE STORIES, keep them coming! We will give away a FREE guitar to one of the newsletter writers every 6 months, so get your article in TODAY to have a chance at winning!

    Check out the wild and wacky DOMINO story from Michael Wright, The Different Strummer. Another great educational spot from Kirk Lorange on Capos and Transposing and tour info for METRIC and STARS.

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



    Mosrite Guitars Ventures Model

    Even Better Than the Real Thing...

    By Mike Robinson

    For the past few years I had been looking for a really nice Mosrite Ventures Model Vintage guitar. Prices ranged from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the year and the condition. Last year an angel descended on EBAY with 35 NOS Mosrite guitars that were built in 1987. These guitars were all brand new and were never sold. They were stored in a warehouse for 14 years. Unbelievable! They were auctioned off one by one, week after week, until they were all gone. I bought the 13th one that sold. I was not disappointed.

    Domino #CE82 Californian Rebel - Shaggs Model

    Meet The SHAGGS

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    And we'll have fun, fun, fun 'till daddy takes the T- bird away. The beach. The sun. California has flirted with national popularity ever since the Gold Rush. And when filmmakers discovered the endless summer of Hollywood, its ascent to national dominance as a symbol became assured. But it really wasn't until the 1960s that California became the center of the youth-culture universe.

    Kirk Lorang - Capos and Transposing

    The tuning and design of the guitar is such that some keys and their related chords are much easier to get around than others. I call these the "guitar- friendly" keys. They use more open chords than barre, and so are much easier to get flowing musically than trying to track of and perform a series of barre chords. The key with the least number of barre chords is C, with F being the only non-open chord, so I guess it's the easiest for a beginner; E, A, D and G are the next in rank of easiness as they also consist mostly of open chords; B and F are getting trickier to keep track of and play with ease, and the sharp/flat keys - - forget it! Even after 42 years of playing, I don't bother even trying.
