BRMC’s Robert Levon Been Talks Music, Loss and Bass
2013 is already a landmark year for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club’s Robert Levon Been. The co-singer/bassist/guitarist has reunited his late father’s band, The Call, and BRMC have just released a fine new album, Specter at the Feast.

10 Things To Keep Your Guitar In Top Condition
Here are 10 suggestions you can follow without the help of a luthier to keep your guitar performing and looking its best: Maintain the nut: Dirt and gummy smoke residue can build up in the notches of your guitar’s nut, impeding the strings’ ability to slide without resistance within those grooves.

Music Theory Demystified - Harmony and Counterpoint
Music theory can be a thorny and intimidating topic, and something many songwriters and players may actively avoid. A student of mine told me he heard a songwriter say once “I don't want to know any of that theory stuff, I want to stay pure.” I can only guess why, I wasn't there to ask...but I suspect it has something to do with a fear that learning “the rules” could limit his creativity. Ironically for this particular person, he had it backwards. Theory is not a set of rules to be followed like traffic laws...
Steve Martin & Edie Brickell – Love Has Come From You
Thanks to his award-winning collaborations with The Steep Canyon Rangers, Steve Martin’s skills as a musician have been in the limelight as much as his acting over the past few years. While his banjo prowess on such songs as “King Tut” have been a part of his act for years, make no mistake – he’s not acting on these records. Musically, he is the real deal. If he wasn’t, these cuts would not have received the attention they have gotten. He’s back...
