Hello Everyone,
I'm performing live on 6/26/13 with Sloane and the Smooth Tones at the Uptown Lounge. It's 8pm to 11pm at 3126 State Street and there is no cover! Blues, Rock and Funk! Hope to see you there!

Here’s a tip for any musician that wants to re-invigorate a tired chord progression. You can build Major and Minor 7th chords using simple triad shapes.  To do so just play a chord of the opposite quality built from the 3rd of the root chord.  For example, if the chord is C major, then you would play E minor on top of it and the yielding sonic effect would be C Maj 7.  Conversely, if you have C minor then you would play Eb major on top of it and yield C Min 7.  The best part is that you don’t even need someone to play the whole C chord. A bass player can play just the C note and you can play the E Maj or Eb Min and you’ll get the same result.  This is a simple way to create something that is greater than the sum of its parts.  There is a lot more you can do with Diatonic Substitution, let me know if you have want to know more!

REVIEW:

C + Em = C Maj 7

C + Eb  = C Min 7

Hello Everyone,
I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about Anvil Guitar's new student referral policy.  I've always offered my current students 60% off a month of lessons when they refer a new student to me and that hasn't changed.  However, starting this summer I am now offering a $20.00 finders fee to anyone who refers a new student to me.  This opportunity is available to anyone, even folks who don't live in my area because out of town referrals can register for SKYPE lessons.  Send me a private message and I'll give you the details.
Thanks!
