So I haven't come up with a real name for the site yet so for now I'm just using my name for the address and initials for the site title.

I have a few reviews up so far. I'm going to try to add one every day or so. I also have up one general blog, one guitar lesson type thing, and some other info on my musical project in the works.

Enjoy. Feel free to suggest me albums to review, things you'd like to learn about (mainly for guitar, but I could do a little for piano or bass probably), or just stuff to talk about.

Some reviews coming up are probably going to be of albums by Agalloch, Ulver, Miles Davis, Altar of Plagues, Imogen Heap, Animals as Leaders, Scale the Summit, Mono, Mogwai, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Russian Circles, and so on.

lol, I opened up the lessons section and took a look at the pdf thinking, "I don't sweep right, might as well learn"
5/9, straight 7s, 5
then I remembered how lazy i am and went back to the reviews section

Lol, yeah. Sweeping is one of those things that takes a long time to get down good. I can't tell you how many seasons of shows on netflix I have gone through just sitting there with my guitar running sweep exercises over, and over, and over, for hours.

I hope you enjoy the reviews though. And, I will be putting up lessons and exercises also for things like hybrid picking, tapping, etc. and also basic things like dexterity and flexibility, posture and positioning, etc. I think I'm going to do a piano lesson soon on developing good economy of movement by understanding and utilizing chord inversions correctly.

Edit: Also, Starcraft = win.

I would, but it's already available so I don't really see the point. Look here:

Site redesign in progress. Background reprogrammed to fill with randomly selected album covers. Feedback? (Pulling from a folder of 102 so far, I'll keep adding so that repetition is less likely)

Note: Doesn't match with banner anymore (I'm aware of it) - redesign coming soon.
