Here's a clip of me running down one of the new songs, "Dust Commander."
I am giving out a new mp3 off this album every month for the rest of the year 2009. I don't keep up with myspace as much as I should, so please contact me at my web site and I'll add you to the list. Thanks!
The entire CD is transcribed in both tablature and traditional notation for you here in an 8.25" by 11" book. Click to buy it at amazon.
Next, here's the Guitar Reading Workbook (click to check it out at amazon.com)
.
I worked really hard on this book and am sure people will benefit from it. Reading is often neglected by guitarists, but even just learning its basics can help you play better.
The Guitar Reading Workbook explains notation reading in detail, relating notes on the staff to simple fretboard diagrams and tablature. Practice lists and 100 written exercises (with a complete answer key included) help you focus and get the concepts down quickly. Teachers can cover a concept in a few minutes and assign the written exercise as homework, giving students something to be accountable for outside the lesson.
Please contact me with any questions (product feedback especially appreciated!).
You can get my music on iTunes! Or click here to buy my 1st CD (yes, please) entitled Moe's Art (Like Curly, Larry, and Mozart...right. It seemed funny at the time). It's heavily-crafted (each track has an actual melody!) guitar music, sort of like Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Robben Ford. Try it, you'll like it...
Your CD order is processed and shipped through the very reliable and trusty services of guitar9.com, the web's oldest and foremost dealer of strictly guitar music.
For the guitar students out there, try my Guitar Fretboard Workbook, which has been one of amazon.com's top-selling guitar books since 2006.
For the slightly more advanced (but still a pretty easy program), try my new book/CD, Chord Tone Soloing.

My Bass Player (Kevin) and I are hosting an Open-Mike Night on Wednesdays at The Venice Bistro in Venice. Right on the Boardwalk, prime location for all the foot traffic to hear you. I'd like to invite you and anyone you know down to play originals or covers. 2-3 songs each musician and we will have a PA, mikes, acoustic guitar, electric piano, and acoustic bass. Should be a lot of fun and a great forum to sell/give away your cd and to network with other local musicians.
Venice Bistro (5:30-10pm) 323 Ocean Front Walk Venice, Ca
