Big Changes

March 28th, 2010 § 5 comments § permalink

As some of you might know, I recently left my position at NGW and moved back to Iowa.

Yes, Iowa.

Both my wife and I are originally from Iowa, so it was nice to be able to move back home and be closer to family (especially with the kid). Luckily, I found a position as Managing Editor for GuitarEdge Magazine. Essentially, this is the coolest job ever. I get to write lessons and articles for one of the coolest magazines around and I get to work with some of the best writers in the game.

I am pretty lucky.

This means that you will be seeing a LOT more of my writing and lessons out there in the Internets. One of the coolest things about GE is the fact that the entire magazine is available online for free. Just go to http://digital.guitaredge.com every month and check out transcriptions (10 in each issue), lessons and articles that are way hipper than what you would find in other magazines.

Hopefully this explains why there hasn’t been much activity here lately, but once I get settled more into my new gig I will make it a point to start writing more here. I am thinking on focusing more on longer form articles and saving my Posterous page for shorter links, videos and other oddities.

Would love to hear what you think….

PHISH 3D from Festival 8

Phish? In 3D? YES! I have been listening to F8 for months now. I wonder if the acoustic “Wilson” will be even more raging when they add another dimension.

Composition Vivisection: Zeno (Part 1)

Introducing a new feature here on the Secret Society inter-web pamphlet: the Composition Vivisection.

From time to time, I will take a piece from the Secret Society repertoire and slice it open to show you how it works. The analysis will take place in multiple installments, over multiple posts.

Our first victim is “Zeno,” from Infernal Machines

[What follows here and in subsequent installments is a somewhat more succinct version of the talk I gave at New England Conservatory last week.]

Prepare to be schooled by one of the best young composers around.
