End of the Week Review (September 25th, 2011)

Not too much new to report this week except that October is a huge concert month for Canada. Just check out the amazing artists and shows Classical Guitar Concerts & Events 2011.

I finished up my major revamp and rebrand of my classical guitar method (Volume I -100 pages). I just have to make a table of contents and I’ll post it on the site! Volume 2 still has a few more things to edit and it’s over 200 pages. I’m thinking of making volume one available by donation…haven’t decided.

I got an angry email this week regarding someone being upset that their content hasn’t been featured on the site yet. I just want to remind everyone that they need to send me content if they want it on the site, I can’t find/track the activities of every Canadian guitarist. So if you send me an email with your content I’ll either make a post or list it on these weekly reviews. It’s free folks. Sharing is caring!
