A little different: If Birds Could Fly GoFundMe

All (five of you) that have seen this blog, however briefly, will know that we typically use this to feature new and featured products, events, and various in store events and promotions. This time, we're posting something a little different.


Enter Appalachia, VA band, If Birds Could Fly.


These guys are a Thought Lot favorite, one that is gaining a lot of traction in terms of musical recognition, and recently found themselves on the soundtrack for Big Stone Gap. An Americana act at heart, with clear influences from elsewhere along the genre spectrum, they tour extensively, ending up in places well outside of Appalachia to share their music with new audiences across the country.

Product Spotlight: Beyond the Basics - Unique Exercises for the Serious Guitarist

As musicians, we all have goals. For some, those consist purely of unique and effective songwriting, for others, technical skill. And then, there are a fair few that ultimately want both, but this Product Spotlight is for those of you that fall into that "technical" category. This time, we bring you Beyond the Basics - Unique Exercises for the Serious Guitarist by local musician and teacher, Jim Massey.

This 64 page book is, by all accounts, not a beginner book -- rather, this is for the more invested guitarist that is looking to develop and ultimately master the mechanics of their technique.

"When I decided to write a book on playing guitar, I didn't want to create just another book of cool licks. I wanted to create a book that focuses on a series of lessons that would improve the basic mechanics of one's playing." - Jim Massey, Beyond the Basics

Ron Block: A Fresh Look at Bluegrass Banjo

There aren't many banjos players more widely heard, or who have performed before more people, than Ron Block. Working with Alison Krauss & Union Station since 1991, Ron's distinctive banjo sound has become nearly as much a part of the group sound as Alison's voice. Ron has taught in a limited number of worshops, but this is his first instructional DVD of any kind, offering a detailed look at his unique approach to the banjo.

This new 3 hour and 45 minute release from AcuTab features Ron explaining the concepts and techniques which make up his banjo style, carefully explained and demonstrated on camera. The stylistic elements are reinforced in both discussion and demonstration, and the 7 songs and solos Ron teaches in great detail. Read more here...
