Swing Guitar Blog

#1 Post by Campus Five » Sat Jul 16, 2005 4:32 am

I've written about vintage jazz and guitar playing several times on this board and others, trying to explain some of the things I had learned being a bandleader. I took inspiration from another blog (www.djangology.net) and decided to put up a blog as a place where I can share the techniques, tools, tips and understanding of Swing Guitar that I learned, found or figured out over the last several years. I'll deal with (guitar) playing techniques, gear choices and setup, understanding the music and the style (i.e. what makes "Swing" swing), and other resources on the web, on record, and in print.

If anyone's interested - http://swingguitar.blogspot.com

How cool is your blog. I love the sound clips. I recon any good dancing teacher would love to have access to something like that for all the band instruments.
