Welcome to August's Blues News. ** Videos And Acoustic Guitar Blog ** As mentioned in the last email, having bought a new video camera, a Zoom Q2HD which built to record good audio, with a better camera than my phone, I've resumed making both live gig videos and my series of Acoustic Guitar Logs. Here's a video of Burnt Ice's closing number of our gig at the Golden Eagle In Southsea. We hope to return there in the Autumn. https://youtu.be/beCbTJhqBc0 I've been quite busy on the blog, here are new the episodes since the last email. o Andy Broad - How Do You Write A Song Like That? Inspired by a question at a walker Broad gig last year, I describe some of my composition process... https://youtu.be/R3nnrVxu13c o Andy Broad - The Thrill Is Gone - Solo - Tips and Tricks This one was by request from a friend wanting tips on how to play solo electric guitar. https://youtu.be/H392dfIudY8 o Andy Broad - Techniques for Playing Slide Guitar in Standard Tuning. I'm frequently asked about how I play slide guitar in standard tuning, here are some tips on my approach. https://youtu.be/HBBdwcxSD_4 And the most recent: o Andy Broad - A Jazz Blues With Just One Note I explain how to play a jazz blues with a one note melody line, and chords that move around the note. I teach this to intermediate to advanced students, get in touch if interested. https://youtu.be/GNt_yx3LCT0 As you can see I've been quite busy on the video front, hope you enjoy them! If you do please do share them on you favoured social media or even just let me know in a comment on the youtube video page. ** Lessons ** I currently have space for a couple of students. The standard start up deal of 5 lessons for £75 is available. Get in touch by replying to this email! ** Gigs ** Quite a bit going on this month with outings for each of my bands!
