New video for "Humming My Way Back Home"

New Web forum for guitar pros

Over the last few months I've been working with my comrades at Acoustic Guitar to launch a new section of the magazine called Guitar Pro, covering career and craft issues for working musicians. Now there's an on-line forum for this topic too, just launched here.

These Guitar Talk forums are reliably busy and lively. Check them out.
