Extremely right on Will, super observations which point out the inherent ying and yang of the note and the interval, which creates balance.

The cable should work with Audacity. You may have to change the settings in windows or OSX so that the cable is the default recording device. If you are in windows, do yourself a favor and try [url=http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/]Kristal Audio E...

Correction for “Africa,” as arranged by Andy McKee

We’ve discovered an unfortunate error in our transcription of Andy McKee’s fingerstyle arrangement of “Africa” in the November 2009 issue of Acoustic Guitar. The tuning key listed is slightly (but significantly!) off the mark—the tuning that we printed was D G D G B D, but should have been D G D G A D. The notes and tab numbers are correct, as is the second-fret capo. We’re deeply sorry about any confusion this may have caused.

McKee recently uploaded several new high-definition videos t… Continue

Swing Blues Lead Lesson

Learn to play the blues like early swing and jazz guitar soloists Lonnie Johnson and Charlie Christian.

Considering the number of rock guitar heroes who’ve made their names playing blues and blues-influenced music, it should come as no surprise that lead guitarists have been playing the blues ever since they starting taking solos in a band. Lonnie Johnson’s solo on Louis Armstrong’s 1927 recording of “Savoy Blues” is one of the earliest instances of a blues guitar solo in an ensemble, and his d… Continue
