Melville, NY (September 12, 2018) -- Korg has released two more accessories as part of their growing initiative to dominate the tuner and metronome catagory. Korg has taken the sleek design and impeccable accuracy of the Rimpitch and has released the Rimpitch C2; an evolution of KORG’s innovative acoustic guitar tuner, now in an even more…

Soldering is a skill that can save a guitarist a lot of money. With just a simple soldering iron I have been able to swap pickups, change out pots and switches, and make my own patch cables. Each one of those things used to mean a trip to my local guitar store that would cost…

In this article we’re going to go over the basics of an electric guitar setup. As I mentioned in a recent article, Tone on a Budget, learning to do your own setup is a great way to save some money. Like most things in life there is more than one way to do this, so…

Easter is my favorite time of year. I would bet it is for a lot of Christians. There are so many reasons to love this particular weekend, and at the top of the list is, of course, the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. It is also a time when we get to reflect on the sacrifice…

Last year I went to a worship conference. It was the first I had been to in a few years. The worship leaders there were extraordinarily different. I have been to some conferences that felt as if the same worship team got up and swapped out some similar leaders and kept playing. This is not…

Usually in a band situation this is not a problem, as creating new guitar riffs or drum rhythms are a natural part of the band making process.…

Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other. -1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 In this article I want to share some very practical ways…

There is a lot of cool guitar gear on the market these days. It’s never ending, and in my mind that’s a good thing as it gives us so many options to choose from. The problem is though that gear can get expensive and all those fancy pedalboard photos online can make some of us…

It’s funny how life works. I was gearing up to write this article last week, and I put it aside and forgot about it...until this week. Over the weekend my SGI box (Studio Guitar Interface) stopped working. Which rendered my electric guitar virtually unusable for our setup at church. Man what a coincidence. So in…

I have always been accused of being over prepared. I carry around a plastic hanging folder box with huge handle that is packed full of spare parts, supplies and tools. I used to get made fun of until one Sunday my volume pedal was squeaking and I had to carry the band with ambient swells…

The basics. These are the foundations of music that many people never get a chance to learn. When I was growing up, I remember our school never had music theory classes. This confused me, because my church always had music programs to teach kids musical instruments and musical theory. Since I was 6 I had…
