GOOD VIBES & GOOD GEAR
How To Extract a Pick from Inside a Guitar or Ukulele
By Lila Karash, Local Musician and Teacher at Twin Town Guitars
During a lesson recently, the pick slipped out of a student's fingers and went through the sound hole. Every guitar player has probably done this at one point or another. I know I have. It can be tricky to extract a pick once it has fallen inside the guitar.
Top 5 Songwriting Tips
By Ryan Smith, of Soul Asylum, Melismatics, Ryan and Pony & Teacher at Twin Town Guitars
"There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release." - Eddie Van Halen
Whether you are a fan of Eddie's music or not, it's undeniable that he had a serious impact on future generations of guitar players and created his own unique sound that is instantly recognizable. He found his own voice and made his mark in a profound way!
The Benefits of Isolation
By Lila Karash, Local Musician and Teacher at Twin Town Guitars
A lot of us are feeling isolated right now due to the pandemic. But isolation can be your friend! I'm talking about isolating different parts when you're practicing guitar. Your brain can become cluttered at first when it's trying to do too many things at once.
Did you know we are solar powered?
