4 guitar-related questions

25 October, 2007 (12:08) | Guitar stuff

1. Is there a good biography of a great singer-song writer which might help me learn more about the craft?

2. Mary Gauthier took up guitar at the same age as me, 35, how inspiring is that?

3. Is there another podcast as good as All Songs Considered for finding new music?

4. Have you heard their show on the The Paste 100 Greatest Living Songwriters yet?

If you haven’t heard of them already, you most definitely should check out the guitar-playing duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. Listen to “Diablo Rojo” from their debut eponymous album (available in iTunes). They’re from Mexico, but I believe they currently live in London or Dublin. Suerte.

For a bit of a sing-song (and motivation at the same time), you might like to look at this book: http://tinyurl.com/273qv4 - which come from a collection that allow you to play lots of songs using just 3 chords.

Cheers for the video and blog. I took up guitar at the age of 31, and I’m now 32. Best of luck to you as you travel along your guitar journey.
