Newsletter Vol. 3 # 101 – November 1, 2009 - Guitar Noise

by David Hodge

Greetings,

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #101 of Guitar Noise News!

Hello and a happy first of November to all of you! And here to help you get through the idea that yet another year is almost gone by is your latest copy of the Guitar Noise News. Small consolation, I know, but it’s the best we can do!

First thing I’d like to do is apologize for missing out on a new review in our last newsletter. Guitar Noise Forum Chief (or “UberMod” if you will) Nick Torres has tested out and written a review of the “ Easy Roll Guitar Method ” by George Pittaway, which you can find here.

This tutorial DVD walks you through three simple patterns designed to help you develop more speed in your playing, all over the neck. Not only does Nick give it a great review, but so do a number of Guitar Noise Forum members who have also tested it out. And after seeing Nick play a couple of weeks back, I’m planning on buying a copy myself!

Second item of news is that today is the final show of FODfest 2009. After performing forty shows since October 1, the tour finale takes place at Infinity Hall and Bistro in Norfolk, Connecticut at 4:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) today. A live broadcast feed of this last performance will be offered over the “ FODblog ” so if you can’t make the show (totally understandable given that most of you don’t live anywhere near close by!) you can still give it a listen.

And if you can make it, please do. I’ll be there as well as Greg (“gnease” on the Guitar Noise Forums) and many, many other performers. It promises to be a great time in a wonderful musical venue.

November also marks the time when people start thinking in earnest about the upcoming holiday season. In these hard economic times, people are trying to save money where they can and it’s charities and non-profit groups that tend to get left out. So if you’re thinking about what to get someone who you care about and you’re stuck for an idea, making a present of a donation in that person’s name is an excellent gift for all.
