five tips to avoid the acoustic asylum

Thanks for all the kind words about the Acoustic Asylum podcast so far.

I’m very much just getting the ball rolling, but once I get a regular schedule going and the website fully up and running, it’s going to be great fun.

 

I’ve always wanted to combine some sort of fiction, imagery, and a cryptic element to guitar teaching to keep it fun…

…While still making it practical and to the point (you’re still here to improve your guitar playing, of course).

And I think this will be the place.

I’ve just recorded and released episode #2…

…Which is a mix of practical advice and some of my random thoughts.

In this episode, I talk about my love of movies, and I touch on how Tarantino, Hitchcock, Christopher Nolan, and movies like Sin City, Watchmen, as well as old film noir and Hammer horror movies, are influencing this podcast.

Side note: at one point, I did think about how I could put my movie inspirations into a guitar teaching video format, but I realised that would be pretty tacky.

I mean, what would I have done?

Put on a Christopher Lee vampire outfit (he looked cool) and sat and played guitar for you. Ha-ha

No way.

Instead, it’s going to be much cooler than that.

For now, in episode #2, I share four very important practice tips that I get all my students to follow.

These are super important tips which you may or may not know, or you may need a reminder of.

At the end, I wrap the podcast up with a powerful bonus fifth tip that will help solidify the other advice I share.

That’s the practical stuff.

Anyway, some really good stuff will be coming (and even Archie wants to make a guest appearance on the podcast soon).

 

So, if you want a little random movie talk plus some very practical advice…

You’ll find it in episode #2, which you can find below:
