Well, Thanks to the efforts of Jeff Munro (allowing me to use his gear and his first bringing me to the place) and Alex Weston (the wonderful host), I’ve had the opportunity to do a few features at the Starbucks Coffee House on Bedford Street in Lexington. I’d stongly suggest any musicians out there looking for a nice little place to play check this out. They usually only do shows booked for Saturday nights, but the atmosphere here is incredible. Not to mention the room is ALOT bigger than you would expect, and has an amazing sound to it. Can’t wait to lug the piano down here one day and give it a shot.
Check it out sometime, heck you might see me there again soon I hope.
Until Then,
Jon
Hey all
I’ve been fooling around lately with the guitar and trying out some different tunings. I’ve 2 to be very interesting; the DADGAD tuning (where you down tune both E strings and the B) and a similar one EADGAD (where you leave the base E alone).
I’ve used these tunings for the last two songs I’ve written and was glad I explored using them. Overall, you get a very interesting “ring” from the guitar, as the harmonics that overlap from the strings sound amazing. not to mention any percussive hits on the guitar itself casues that ringing as well.
I was curious if anyone else out there has tried any other tunings that might be uncommon? Let me know I’d love to give them a shot!
Now if i could only downtune a piano easily…that’d be some interesting stuff.
