Hey Friend, Well, that’s how the saying goes. “You snooze, you lose”. *I* snoozed and lost, but don’t you make the same mistake as me! Here’s the story… See, several months ago I decided I wanted a new video camera. So, I gave my old camera to my brother as a holiday gift. Cool, cool …
Hello Friend, It’s only been about a week since I’ve been back in Philly. Before that I went on a little road trip 🙂 First I was in Los Angeles. I sent you an email about that. What I didn’t mention was that I also was in Texas for a few days. I guess it …
Howdy Y’all… Yeehaw… I’m in a “Texas” mood today, (whatever that means, lol) and not just cause its Saturday. Actually it’s because I was in Dallas recently and I’ve got a cool “Texas blues guitar” video that I’ll be sharing soon. That’s NOT the big news for next week though. Next week I’ll be making …
Hello Friend, 100 million… That’s how many times people have supposedly watched the Susan Boyle videos on “Britain’s Got Talent”. I first saw the story on a news site last week. Some frumpy 47-year old lady wows Simon Cowell. I thought to myself, “hmm, thats interesting.” But then yesterday, I saw ANOTHER article about it. …
Hey Friend, Its fun to be a guitarist. I remember being at summer camp (way back in the day) and one of the kids had a guitar. Everyone was singing along and I secretly thought it would be cool if *I* was the one playing. So I had some interest but I never realized how …
Hey Friend, I just want to take a minute and thank you for being on my email list. It’s been my mission to help you get the most enjoyment possible out of your instrument, and out of life. Some people are a little confused though, because now, after almost 5 years, I have SO many …
Hey Friend, This is an unusual weekend for me. I’m actually attending a training event – its a seminar on leadership. Why am I doing this? And why am I telling you about it? Well, as GuitarControl has grown as a company, i’ve had to hire additional people to help me out. For example, our …
Hey Friend, Ok, I messed up. Quite possibly, I overpromised and underdelivered on a recent promo that I’m offering. I’m talking about the Marty Friedman DVD, folks. To make a long story short, I told you guys I’d be giving away the DVD (with strings attached) but a few of you were disspointed with the …
Hi Friend, I hope you had a good weekend. Weekends can be an adventure sometimes, can’t they? Well most of this weekend, the Claudester was cooking up something special for you. You see, last week I let the first cat out of the bag. Remember, that little “mysteryman” contest? The “cat” ended up being Marty …
Hi Friend, TGIF! What’s up? Have you been enjoying the Marty Friedman licks that I’ve been posting on my site? I can’t believe I got 182 comments so far on this page. Seems people are really enjoying it. That’s awesome. Anyway, I put up another video. This is another great, *unusual* lick. https://guitarcontrol.net/gc-preview/gcblog4/mysteryman Well anyway, …
