Hey Everyone,

Here is a little update to what’s coming around the corner for me this year…

I’m really excited to be teaming up with a wonderful group of artists this year. Together we want to create events that transport you from your daily routine into the Fabulous World of the Arts. Not just another art exhibit but an experience connecting you to the art, the music and the artist!

I’ll be sending you all more info soon but until then let me introduce you to everyone…
Just click on the artists name to visit their websites. We’ll have a collective website soon.

News for all the J.G. Music Fans…

I currently working on the music for my new cd to be released early this spring!

During the past few years there has been a lot of old classics that I love performing during my live shows.  This spring I am super excited to be releasing a new album with some of those wonderful tunes!

News for all the guitarist…

This year I’ll be performing with the new Boss RC300 loop station and working with Roland Canada performing clinics to show everyone how to perform and rehearse with loops!

The first clinic will be at the new Long & McQuade store on Terminal in Vancouver slated for Thursday, March 15th from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.

The flamenco guitar I currently perform with uses a LR Baggs Element pickup system. I really like the pickup however, it’s a single under-saddle style and it does not allow you to hear any of the percussion from the top of the guitar.

Last Christmas I was given a wonderful gift from a couple of my students. A Cordoba GK Studio guitar! The guitar is absolutely amazing however, I’m not to crazy about the on-board Fishman Presys pickup system.

So this year LR Baggs has released the new Anthem SL Classical mic and pick up system. This new pickup system blends the element under-saddle pickup with a boundary mic. I’ll be installing the new system soon so I’ll give you all the details and review it as soon as it arrives.

Breaking news for all of the Ben Woods fans!

Ben has just joined us in the blogging world with his new video blog.

If you’re a nylon string guitarist and looking to purchase a new guitar this site is really nice as it show cases the Godin Encore and the Grand Concert Ambiance (with the Aura technology) guitars.

It’s also really cool to see what you can do with an iPhone these days. (Check out the multi tracked iPhone video’s on the site) I’m still a blackberry user however, once my contracts up I’m jumping on the iPhone with an iRig.

Here’s a video from Ben Woods new blog…

He’s performing with his new Godin Encore plugged into his iPhone via the IK Multimedia iRig adaptor.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!

Just in case you’re wondering were I’ve been the last month…

Here’s a little video update!

My New Years Goals…

This year I plan to make YourGuitarSchool.com even better than ever!

Please keep sending me feedback and lesson ideas I truly want it to be “Your” guitar school.

Also this is the year for a new music and a new cd!

As for the “Guitar Slinger Program” … It hasn’t generated a lot of views so I’m going to focus all my energies on the new music!

Wishing everyone a fantastic 2012!

Here’s a couple of sample lessons I posted on YouTube for all the aspiring flamenco guitar players!

You’ll find more lessons at YourGuitarSchool.com

Enjoy!
