Big Changes

Mar 28 2010

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….

    Big change indeed! Best of luck in your new job! I'm all for the longer articles = here/shorter articles = posterous idea! I love reading longer articles like Charles Shaar Murray's rants in Guitarist, and I dig short little stabs of content, and it's nice to be able to settle into the zone with one or the other depending on how much time I have.

    I think you're absolutely AWESOME and everything you do for others is coming back to you multiplied times 100. You deserve nothing but the best, Jason. Cheers from San Diego.
