How’s it going in the practice room this week?
Website Updates
First off this week, I’ve spent some time improving the navigation of the website. As the lessons and articles have grown over the past 2 years (thanks to readers like you), things were getting a little cluttered and harder to find.
From the top menu on any page of Lifein12Keys.com, you can now navigate to the guitar lessons and topics of your choice. Under the ‘Guitar Blog’ tab, you’ll now see the following choices:
Practice and Technique
Scales
Chords
Arpeggios
Classical Guitar
Interviews and Insights
Reviews and Gear

Live Gigs This Week
The gigs have been slow… but my live calendar is starting to fill up again (thankfully). Follow me on social media to see some fun, behind the scenes video, live videos, pictures, and other general shenanigans; as I play guitar, skateboard, and mountain bike all over Central Florida.
