My Guitar Column for April

[jeffrey]

I have been writing a guitar column for a Texas area music/metal magazine (Welcome to The EDGE Magazine "Your Texas Rock Connection") for over a year now. The magazine has a circulation of about 25,000-27,000, so it's a good audience and good exposure for me and the band.

They periodically (meaning they are about a two months behind) post the issue in PDF format on their website. I figured I'd start linking the PDF to my articles as they post them if anyone finds some of the info useful.

Just trying to contribute!

Here's the most recenly published one:

Nice Article

BUT

What the heck are you playing in those pictures

 

[fogman]

Very Cool Jeffrey!!!

But why does that guitar look so strange?

 

[jeffrey]

It's my PRS Archtop! lol

I don't own a six-string EBMM, that was the closest six-string I had handy.

I try not to use seven-strings for the articles as it confuses some people (or so they've told me via email at a later date hehe).

Wow, that's really cool, Jeffrey! How come you never told us about this before? I'm proud of you!

I was gonna rip you for playing that funky looking thing with dying birds in the fretboard, but it looks like everyone else beat me to it.

bahaha dying birds... thats fantastic.

Great article. I wish there was something like that up here in MD.

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

Good work!

Thats really cool. I usually try to pick that magazine when I'm at the local music stores.

Dying birds, haha. I actually like bird inlays, more power to you.

 

[jongitarz]

I like the birds, but on a 24 fret axe, the last bird looks like it got run over by a steamroller or something. Not bashing, just MHO. I'm just sayin

You are 100% correct Jon!

Oh I told you a long time ago, Bethy!

 

[jeffrey]

I have a lot of these saved, if you guys are interested and can get them all together and make a new thread and post links to some of the good ones.

Let me know!

Oh, and thanks for all the kind words.

Perhaps some sort of crossing between the 'dying' bird and bullet (jp) inlays would go together!

 

[Pablo]

Nice article man!
Personally, I hate seing a flock of seaguls scattered across a perfectly good rosewood fretboard... I prefer dots to seaguls and no inlays to dots... But, to each their own, I guess.

I've tried teaching with my 7-string as well, and it's true: it really confuses people... Which is why I stick to my Strats when wearing my teaching cap.

Cheers

I need to get all of my columns together in PDF and post them. Maybe some of the info will be useful!
