Draven Grey explores some of the things you can do to create and expand your fan base for yourself and / or your band.

Welcome back to the One Finger Guitar Chord Primer. We’re going to learn a new tune in this lesson, Aura Lee, which is much better known as Love Me Tender. Aura Lee is going to teach us a new chord form. It’s our first that uses two fingers.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #102 of Guitar Noise News! We have three new lessons this week (although one isn't quite ready just yet). David also answers a beginner question he received by email along with all the regular site news.

Sometimes a simple sounding fingerstyle acoustic guitar part takes a bit of thought and tinkering to create. David looks at how to go beyond the chords offered up on a typical Internet tab sheet in order to get more of the flavor of the original recording of this great Mark Knopfler song.

Many guitarists consider practice and performance to be being distinct activities. Gerald Klickstein, author of the new book The Musician's Way, shows how they can be combined into an inclusive creative process.

Quite often, guitarists solo as if they are paid by the note, totally ignoring phrasing and melody, two key aspects of soloing. Tom Hess gives us a terrific lesson on phrasing, complete with video!

Chord Melody Arrangements
Since we’ve posted a number of chord melody lessons of late, it seemed like a good idea to make “Chord Melody” a “topic of the month.” As with most of our topics, Guitar Noise has lessons at almost all levels, from beginners just getting started to intermediate and advanced students who want to... try out creating their own chord melodies. So take a closer look at all the lessons on this page. It will hopefully get you psyched to try out this style of playing.

Welcome to Volume 3, Issue #101 of Guitar Noise News! Though he was traveling to Chicago this past week, David still managed to clear three new lessons for publication. Check them out along with all the latest site news.

Mark Knopfler is best known as the lead guitarist, vocalist and songwriter for the British rock band Dire Straits, which he co-founded in 1977 with his brother David. After Dire Straits disbanded in 1995, Knopfler continued to record and produce albums as a solo artist under his own name...

First time contributor Dmitry details the work and thought process involved on taking one's guitar along a trip, using his latest vacation as an example of how well things can work out!

Creating chord melody arrangements can be addictive! And you can start out as easy or as complicated as you'd like. Brandon Carrasco takes us step by step through his first time out, turning this timeless lullaby into a wonderful single guitar piece.

Here is Hank's second Guitar Noise lesson, an accompaniment to "What a Wonderful World" as performed by Louis Armstrong. He draws on some of the ideas used in his first arrangement, "Smile", and provides some nice movement in the bass line...
