An Important New Offering From GuitarPrinciples! "Chromatic Octave Exercise"
...a vital part of left hand development.

I am happy to announce that I have completed a new product for students and fans of GuitarPrinciples, one that I have been wanting to get to for quite awhile. It is an exercise that I give to all private students at a particular point in their development. It is for the left hand, and it gives an essential kind of development that no other exercise does in as effective a way.

Although scale work and other single note exercises are vital, even primary for left hand development, there is a level of stretch and strength that the left hand needs to have to handle many of the playing tasks imposed upon it that scale work alone will not provide. That is why I give this exercise. It is now available, with my all important practice instructions, for everyone. Even better, it is available for instant download! You can get to work on it right away!

"Practicing one thing is practicing everything..."

"What you are as a person is what you will be as a guitarist..."

"To know and not to do is not yet to know..."

"Learning the guitar is the process of learning how to hold the guitar, and how to touch the strings."

All of the work I have created for GuitarPrinciples, all the books, DVD, courses, lessons, and hundreds of essays, reveal the truth of learning the guitar, playing the guitar, and mastering the guitar. The more you study my work, and truly give it your open attention, the greater will be your understanding, and therefore you power to reach your guitar playing dreams.

The sayings above, taken from and endlessly elaborated upon in my work, condense some of the most important truths about guitar greatness. I urge you to visitwww.guitarprinciples.com regularly, and read as much as you can.

You will increasingly understand how ordinary and natural guitar greatness is. You will see the elegant simplicity and endless intensity of what I am saying. It is my endless journey. If you love the guitar it will become yours as well.

The more you study my work the more you will understand the truth of guitar greatness.

I have posted a new performance video at the new community guitar site started by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. It is a piece by Bach that I have loved ever since I heard Andres Segovia play it on the first classical guitar album I ever got. Here is the link to the video:

"Bach Bouree in Bm" by Jamie Andreas

Since our company is a two time winner of the "Acoustic Magazine Players Choice Award" I thought I would check out the community after receiving an invitation to do so. I have made a number of posts in answer to people suffering from the usual "I can't play anything well" syndrome. I am trying to make the point to these "guitar sufferers" that it is possible for anyone to play the guitar well, and to become a great player if you are willing to do the work. Well, as someone famous once said "Let those who have ears, hear!".

You might want to check out the community, there are lots of good fingerstyle players posting performances of all types of fingerstyle guitar, as well as many groups on various topics of interest to guitarists.

Acoustic Guitar Magazine has created a new community site for guitarists. I have made a number of contributions there, including this performance of Bach's Bouree in Bm. It is easy to join and has lots of things to offer those interested in fingerstyle guitar.

"...Thank you Jamie. Amazing as it seems, I gained so much more from my 2 lessons with you than I gained from a guitar teacher that I had for about a year and a half. He is a great player, however does not have your ability to break down the fundamentals of all the important aspects of guitar playing."

Matt

"...That was the greatest guitar education that money could buy, JUST AFTER ONE LESSON! The elbow stiffness that I had before, I don't have now. It's weird, nobody had ever pointed that out to me before. I'm doing that Stetina exercise faster than 100 now. THANK YOU so much Jamie."
