Finding songs to learn

The History of the Guitar
The guitar that we see musicians use today has a long history. From the very beginnings of human culture between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, to smoked out bars in the inner cities of today, from the court entertainers of the great dynasties of Europe, to young girls and boys practicing their favorite song in […]
MXR Analog Chorus Pedal
Who hasn’t heard the “syrupy and liquid, sparkly and lush” sounds of a chorus pedal? There might be a few of you saying “I haven’t… – well, I don’t think I have!” The Chorus effect has been around for ages and is most associated with the music of the 80s. While you may not be […]
