		<description><![CDATA[You all know that famous Star Wars phrase that Jedi Master Obi Wan says to Luke Skywalker don't you? "Use the force, Luke"? I'll assume that you all know it. But in reality, how can this geeky sci-fi phrase help us become better guitarists? It's all about feeling.




Clean Those Lugholes!

One thing that we can take from Obi Wans famous quote is that as guitarists and musicians, we must train our ears to hear different notes, tunings, chords and, from our own experience, a bum note. This is essential as a guitar player! It can improve your playing profoundly. If you practice and train your ear it helps you to be able to tune a guitar, play better with others and be able to play songs just from listening to them a few times. Here are some ways you can train your ear:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So Are You? Or don't you want to be?

This relates back to an article I read a few weeks back about guitar motivation. I had plans to write a post about it back then but I was busy so it must have been pushed to the back of my mind. Until I seen a picture of the Hendrix statue in Seattle. This immediately sparked a thought process. Why do we decide to learn the guitar in the first place? What is it that draws us to want to tame this magical beast? Potential Fame? Commanding a Stage? Or maybe just for the general Fun Factor of it?]]></description>
