NEWS WITH ME:
My latest project is a duo called Driven to Clarity. Good things are beginning to happen. We just played a music festival called Hungerstock and we'll be playing the Hard Rock Cafe in December. We have some videos up and we'll have audio tracks and a website very soon. I would really appreciate it if you take a moment to go to our youtube and facebook pages. We're trying to get our numbers up for the WHOOZNXT competition. Thank you so much!

More News:
My very good friend Devin Arne has released an amazing record called Kaleidoscope. A description of the music is below:
Devin Arne's newest release represents diversity in sound - just as a Kaleidoscope creates a spectrum of colors. From the dark and cinematic, to the whimsical and minimalistic, the backing music not only showcases the talents of the collaborating rappers and singers, but also takes you on a sonic journey to far-reaching places. I found myself nodding my head to sounds of the east fused with infectious old-school hip-hop beats. Pushing it above and beyond were avant-garde and ultra-modern classical sprinklings throughout. You'll never be lost though - all of the grooves are funky and the melodies are catchy and uplifting. Definitely an album worth checking out.
You can find the album on iTunes if you are curious. For more about Devin, visit his website: http://www.devinarne.com/About.html
FINALLY - if you life in the area, you need to hear Carl Filipiak! He is one amazing guitar player with a band that has some unreal players in it.

LESSON - The Sliding Pentatonic Scale
This one is one of my favorites. If you feel stuck in the box - this is a great way to get out.
e|-|---|---|---|---|---|-o-|-h-|-o-|/sl|-o-|
B|-|---|---|---|---|---|-o-|-h-|-*-|---|---|
G|-|---|---|-o-|-h-|-o-|/sl|-o-|---|---|---|
D|-|---|---|-o-|-h-|-*-|---|---|---|---|---|
A|-|-o-|-h-|-o-|/sl|-o-|---|---|---|---|---|
E|-|-o-|-h-|-*-|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| h = hammer on
Whatever fret you choose, the * is your tonic (root note of the scale.)
For more info - email me back and I will send you a full paper on the subject.
