Everyone can play music by ear. Some can go farther than others with that ability, but everyone can do it to some degree. Unfortunately, no one has ever attempted to teach serious music students to depend upon their ears as much as possible. Eventually the ear player reaches his limit and must use notation to study music further; but this limit is much broader than is generally supposed.

If you don't know what feedback is -- it's that terrible high pitched sound that comes from speakers. It usually happens when you place your microphone too close to the speaker or play your guitar directly in front of the

All professional musicians, whether they're playing jazz, rock, bluegrass and country music, have spent their first years of practicing bent over a half speed record player.

A technical knowledge of harmony is not an absolute prerequisite to the enjoyment of music, but the amateur musician and listener alike should be aware of harmony as an element of guitar chord structure.

Getting in tune and staying in tune, are what the job requires, for sure. I've been in so many situations where string breakage and not staying in tune just creates havoc on the band, Audience, and music. I've had situations in my youth and now a days to be sure, where I've neglected to either change my strings, and a couple of times I like, a dumb kid, just didn't bother to properly tune my

by Bill McRea The very first guitar I ever played was a Candy Apple Red Fender Stratocaster. It was love at first touch. I wanted that guitar SO bad. I grew up listening to Eric Clapton, David Gilmore and Jimmy Hendrix, and during my college years I was a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn. The Fender Stratocaster was the guitar of choice for these incredible guitar players and many more. My tasted
