New Group Class: Rock Class for the Young Guitaristwith Greg Vaughan |
|
Next Week |
Sat, Mar 20, 2010 |
| This is a new nine-week class designed for the young guitarist (we also need a few bassists) to play with other like-minded musicians in a group class. We will focus on classic, as well as new rock music and the techniques involved for the instrumentalist. Both lead and rhythm parts will be studied when possible. Tuning down, Drop D tuning, power chords, playing through an amp, pentatonic scales, lead playing, and playing in a group will be explored. Tablature will be provided and participants are expected to be familiar with music basics. This is an intermediate class (not for beginners) and prior completion of 6 months to a year of private lessons is recommended. Age range: 11-14 yrs. Class size: minimum 5, maximum 8. |

Zoom Recorders at Gryphon |
 A persistent request that we have not been able to accommodate here at Gryphon is for portable audio recorders. That's not surprising, as our lesson program is one of the most important facets of Gryphon and what better way to take away more of the lesson than with a recording you can access at any time? Of course Gryphon has carried recorders in the past, but as many independent retailers discover, it's easy to lose access to a favorite product when distribution channels change or brands are absorbed by a larger corporation.

Lemonade |
 On Feb 17th, through very unfortunate circumstances, the power went out for the entire city of Palo Alto. That included us here at Gryphon.
What do you do when you have a store full of instruments and no electricity to run the business? Well, when they are acoustic instruments, you sit outside, play some music and entertain the drivers who are displaced because of the non-working traffic lights.

Hartke Amps |
 For years some folk have considered Hartke to be a one-trick pony. Recently they have applied new technology to their product line to become the "best of both worlds." Read what Brian has to say about it...

We're Back From The NAMM show! |
 That's Angela from Collings Guitars in Austin, holding the City Limits Deluxe, just one of the guitars we picked up from the Collings booth at NAMM. Matt, Derek, Brian, and Alex all roamed the cavernous halls of the big music industry trade show in Anaheim, searching for new and/or improved gear for you!
Richard tagged along, of course, and spent much of his time reconnecting with friends he only sees once a year, such as Chuck Ogsbury and his daughter Tanya from Ome banjos (shown below holding a model similar to the one we ordered). Chuck is celebrating his 50th year building banjos, and he's still smiling.
 We brought back instruments from Collings, Martin, and Santa Cruz, and of course ordered many more from other suppliers such as Bourgeois, Huss & Dalton, Magic Fluke (ukes), Taylor, Vox (amps), and others too numerous to mention. If you want the full story, complete with dozens of photos, we'll be sending out our NAMM show e-Gazette before the end of January. If you're not on our e-Gazette list, look for the sign-up box in the right hand column of this page.
