With all the news from NAMM 2010 this should be a good "Weekend Read". Although I didn't personally make out to Anaheim this year there are a number of good bloggers that did. There are many articles about what is going on out there and some good stories too.I did write and post the usual articles that go into The Rock House Blog every week. I'm afraid with all the press releases they may have gotten lost. If you're looking for a good guitar lesson from us this week I posted one from Jimmy Rutkowsli titled "Finger Building Exercises" and a player tip on "Getting a Grip on Your Guitar Pick."
You can type a search for NAMM 2010 into our blog search box at the top of the page to see the latest press releases from many of the guitar manufacturers at this years show.

Not Playing Guitar - You might wonder why you should bother learning to transcribe, after all there's a lot of tab out there in songbooks, tutorials and on the Internet.
