Holiday Guitar Gift Guide & More๐ŸŽ„

As the Holiday Season and Black Friday draw near, I thought this would be a good week to get together some cool guitar gift ideas for you.. or if you're like me.. just add them to your Amazon wishlist and send to your wife/husband/partner! ๐Ÿคฃ

My Complete Electric Rig

A while back I did a complete rundown (with live video) of my electric guitar rig and pedals. You can check that out here.

โญ๏ธReview of the Week!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing that you guys loved a lesson or book!

"This book is everything I need ....beginner or advanced and want to brush up on skills, this is the book...It's not intimidating ... and the author explains perfectly what's going on with illustrations"

Some More of My Favorite Gear

โ€‹โ€‹Dunlop John Petrucci Flow Picks 2.0mmโ€‹
โ€‹
I love these picks! For years I used Dunlop Jazz IIIโ€™s exclusively (which are also awesome), until I tried these a while back on my acoustic. I love the tone and smooth attack I getโ€ฆ and they just last way longer for me than the smaller picks.
โ€‹
โ€‹
The Best Acoustic Strings EVER?
โ€‹
Iโ€™ve been using the โ€‹Elixir Phosphor Bronze stringsโ€‹ on my Taylor Guitars for a while now. Iโ€™ve tried just about every other brand out there and always go back to these. No matter what gauge you play, these strings last longer, and retain a better quality of tone than any strings out there.

โ€‹
MXR 20ft. Guitar Cable
โ€‹
โ€‹
Funny thing, while I was looking up my picks and strings for you, I came across this incredible deal. I just picked up a few more myself too. 20ft, โ€‹high quality MXR cableโ€‹ with the right-angle jacks for 20 bucks? Yes, Please!
โ€‹
โ€‹
โ€‹Boss Loopersโ€‹
โ€‹
Iโ€™ve been using loopers in my solo acoustic and duo gigs for years. Iโ€™ve had most of the big name brands, but only the โ€‹BOSS LOOPERSโ€‹ seem to be able to handle my heavy gig load and extreme temperatures here in Florida. I also like to use them for just general guitar practice.
โ€‹
I use the Boss FS-5U as a stop and delete button separate from the record/loop function of the RC-1 pedal.

Have a Great Thanksgiving (if you're in the US), and Until Next Time!,

Circle of Keys

Guitar Newsletter January 30th, 2025 Hey there Reader, Recently I had a great question from a reader about other ways to use the Circle of Keys to find useful information besides just the notes in a particular Major scale or Key. Like, what about the chords? A great way to find all of the Major Chords in a Key is to look at the adjacent keys on either side of the one you want to play IN. For example, in the Key of C Major you see F before and G after, so those 3 chords will be Major type...
